This morning I have tears streaming down my cheeks!
It was 8 days ago my computer died and I had no way to share with you each morning. I’ve been praying for you every day and trusting the Father to encourage you in your daily walk.
Yesterday I expected to receive my new computer but instead I received an email which read “shipping has been delayed, do you wish to cancel your order”.
NO!!
For a week, I have been trying and praying to connect to my site via my phone only to be met with “incorrect password” and never receiving the necessary email to reset it. Frankly, I was beginning to lose hope.
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick”
I was heart sick for sure. Several dear friends have been holding me up in prayer. Thank you, thank you!!! One sweet friend encouraged me by reminding me that I didn’t need a strong internet signal to pray – very true.
Before I got up this morning, I heard very distinctly in my heart. Don’t give up, try again.
I was reminded of Noah, who spent years building an ark, telling his neighbors of the coming flood and had not one convert. Then there was David, who knew he had been anointed to be king of Israel and yet he hid from Saul for 13 years in the wilderness because Saul was trying to kill him. And then there was Jesus, who preached for 3 years and was crucified by the religious Jews.
My computer struggles are small potatoes compared to these monumental challenges but I know that the Father is just as concerned with me and you as He was for them.
So, this morning, I got up and tried one more time, a little differently, but try I did…and here I am to encourage you -don’t give up, don’t quit trying!
“Thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus.” II Corinthians 2:14
No matter what you’re facing don’t quit. Keep your trust in the Father, he is worthy of all our trust. Roll all your cares on Him!
“Casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you”. I Peter 5:7
Can you say Hallelujah?!
Praise The Lord! I have to say I was concerned myself that I was not receiving my devotional that I so look forward to. Today is a gift from God. Yesterday I searched and searched to see if I missed it in my emails or something was wrong with my service. Hallelujah, God answered my prayers!
Prayers appreciated as we are preparing today for a direct hit in Ct from the latest hurricane. It has changed course and is headed directly toward us for tomorrow.
God Bless, Jan
Praise God! Romans 5:3-5 comes to mind. He is doing a mighty work in you Kristi! I am so grateful to be able to read your blog again.
Thank you Melody. Thank for keeping me supported in prayer.
Jan, thank you for your thoughts. I have been praying for you safety and all those in your area since I read your message yesterday. Asking the Lord to draw you all under the shelter of his loving wings.
I’ve missed you ❤ God is good 👍🙏
Thank you MaryBeth. I’ve missed everyone. Yes, God is always good!
