20 Encouraging Bible Verses For These End Time Days

The world today is overrun by polytheism, nepotism, greed, and a struggle for position and power.

With each passing day, we see prophecy being fulfilled and things that the Bible spoke of are now coming to pass. We ought not be ignorant of the times because clearly we living in the last days. The writer of Matthew 24:6-8 wrote:

“And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you not be troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” 

Where there is the beginning of sorrow, it implies that at some time or another we all need encouragement. Not only are we to encourage ourselves in spite of what’s happening in our own situation, God requires of us to be light in the world and to be a source of hope, comfort and consolation to each other.

These next few Bible verses have encouraged me and lifted my spirit in dark times and it is my hope that they will do the same for you today.
