Since I wrote about nine powerful words last night I have been thinking since that time about the power of nine words.
As phrases came to my mind I began jotting them down.
Then as verses came to my mind I would jot them down.
Pretty soon I had a list going and I thought this list could keep growing and may encourage someone.
Surely anyone can remember nine words.
And those nine words may be just what someone needs to sustain hope through their current situation.
So, at least for a couple of entries I will be listing nine word phrases of encouragement or verses that any of us can cling to.
In no certain order at this point here we go, with most of these taken from the New American Standard translation or the New International Version translation.
