TRUST HIM

Trust in God

Good morning to you this morning!
I pray that all is well with you. I am a little late this morning. I drove alone for about 12 1/2 hours yesterday and I can't wake up. I have been dozing since 6 AM. Anyway, praise God for a safe trip.

Have you ever been hit with a trial that just seems impossible? Well, if you have, then you know that the only way to get through it is to trust God. He is the only one that can help you along the way. Some things just seem so impossible at the time but with God all things are possible. 

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this 
is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26 

I really thought that I could never drive for so many hours without falling asleep at the wheel. The farthest I had ever driven was 10 hours. 2 1/2 hours doesn't seem that much farther but when you are tired, that time seems like eternity. I will say that I ate junk food most of the way. Eating will keep you awake if you do it constantly. I chewed gum and popped bubbles. I turned the radio so loud that when the music (classical) got quiet and then loud again, it scared me to death. I turned the air conditioner down low enough that I almost froze to death. But I stayed awake. I prayed about everything and everyone and prayed and prayed some more. Well, God answered my prayers and I got here safely. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. 

I thought with all the caffeine I had yesterday that I would not sleep last night. Any caffeine for me is usually too much. I am very sensitive to it. But anyway, I slept. I was just so tired.

This isn't even what I was talking about when I was talking about a trial in your life. But anyway, it held true in this situation that nothing is impossible with God. He kept my awake and alert.

But trials come and go in our lives. And sometimes when we finish one, another starts. That is just the life we lead in this sinful, worrisome world we live in. Life is just not going to float along perfectly all the days of our lives. Because life isn't perfect. Adam and Eve saw to that. 

But trusting God is our only choice. I don't know how people live without Jesus in their lives. But I do know that a lot of people do it all of their days.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not 
on your own understanding; in all your ways submit 
to him, and he will make your paths straight. 
Proverbs 3:5-6

Those who know your name trust in you for 
you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 9:10

In you, Lord my God, I put my trust.
Psalm 25:1

So, it is in God I put my trust. I trust Him to help me through all of life's ups and downs. And sometimes it seems that there are more downs than ups. But that is okay. I trust God to bring me through to the other side, and in the process I will become a better person. I will trust Him more knowing how He has helped me. Then, telling others about God's greatness and help He has given you may help them to trust in God also.

And He will also help you because He loves you. Just trust and obey.

Have a blessed day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
