Walk By Faith

 Happy Sunday!

"So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever."(2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Message).

Just for a moment, think of the most stressful time in your life.  During that period of time you may have felt there was no way you could make it, and no way for you to survive.  BUT thankfully here you are today!  You made it!  You didn't give up!  Everything we are experiencing now is temporary, subject to change, guaranteed to change.  Change is inevitable!  My employer says, "Change Energizes Us!" 

The Psalmist experienced many things.  Even in the Psalms that begin in despair, suddenly the writer remembers the Goodness of God and immediately the tone changes.  Psalm 27:13 says, "I am expecting the Lord to RESCUE me again, so that ONCE AGAIN I will see his goodness to me HERE in the land of the living."(Living Bible).  Don't miss this!  God desires for us to enjoy life here on earth!  He created everything for His Children, not for the Devil and his agents. 

Psalm 84:11 is a good scripture to memorize and confess, "For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: NO GOOD THING will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."(KJV).    Hebrews 11:1 says, "What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the CERTAINTY that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead."(Living Bible).  2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "For we walk by faith, not by sight:"(KJV).

Love and prayers, Cynthia

P.S. - I laughed with my Best Friend about how people say that they  are praying for you.  Most of it is just a praying hands emojis! LOL!  I really do pray for everyone that reads this blog and I know that God hears me.  1 John 5:14-15 says, "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we KNOW that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him."(KJV).  My prayer for you is general; that you will know the Lord, accept His plan for your life, be healed, and prosper.  If you would like for me to agree with you on specific concerns, let me know. I'm just a comment away.
