amen:)
But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart.Consider what great things He has done for you.Yet if you persist in doing evil, you will be swept away.
Streams in the Desert
Been reading out my devotional book recently, and found this stuff;
"We have all been in situations where it seemed as though we were defeated, and the enemy rejoiced. We can only imagine what a complete defeat this appeared to be for Daniel's friends. They were thrown into the terrible flames while their enemies watched to see them burn. Yet the enemy was greatly astonished to see them walking around in the fire, enjoying themselves. Then king Nebuchadnezzar told them to come out of the fire. The enemy "crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them...for no other god can save in this way" (Dan. 3:27.29)"
"May we learn that in all the difficult places God takes us, He is giving us opportunities to exercise our faith in Him that will bring about blessed results and greatly glorify His name."
"Unanswered prayers are simply the evidence that the answer is much closer."
Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart. (Ecclesiastes 7:3)
"Sorrow is God's tool to plow the depths of the soul, that it may yield richer harvests"
"Blessed is the night, for it reveals the stars to us. We can say, Blessed is sorrow for it reveals God's comfort."
"Your father is as close to you when you journey through the darkest tunnel as He is when you are under the open heaven."
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trust in the Lord (Psalms 112:7)
Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5)
For I know the plans i have for you,..plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11)
