I think we need this!
I popped on Joyce Meyers and this devotion seems so fitting:
You are Secure
August 26
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
—Proverbs 3:5-6
Following God is not a part-time lifestyle. The Bible clearly teaches that we are to be cautious at all times because the devil looks for opportunities to devour us (See 1 Peter 5:8).
But God gives us grace to withstand the devil, and to be firm in faith against his onset. You can be rooted, established strong, immovable, and determined, knowing that whatever you face today is identical to what Christians throughout the world are facing. And God Himself will complete you and make you what you ought to be. He will establish you and ground you securely, strengthen and settle you today (See vv. 9–10).
I don’t know about all of you, but I need to know God is in control.
Well, a good thing happened last nite, my 2 cousins called (they are sisters) and they want to be of some help to me with mom. They will be here the end of October, and they just went thru this with their mom, my mom’s sister. Will be so good to have some family around!
I know I have Ted, but this will be a big help to me.
Mom is doing ok, they are easing her into her therapy slowly. Dad is doing good.
I’m ok, nice to be back to my workouts.
So how are all of you?
Time for me to post, love you all!
Amen! I say to you Kama amen! Where this is Christ there is peace! In my lfe He controls everything!!!!!! and that is a great and rewarding feeling. I am nothing without Him why would I not serve Him always and pray for others to do the same. I am so happy that you are getting help, you so deserve! therefore He willed it for you His faithful servant Kama. Love You Kama. Linda
It is soooo nice knowing that God is in control! I’m so glad to hear that your cousins are coming out to help you before too much longer. Glad to hear too that both of your parents are doing okay and that you’re all hanging in there. Love you too, Kama! Keep on keeping on girl! You are such an awesome inspiration!
That is a hard one sometimes…it is hard to trust Him…and we try to figure it all out especially when it is a tough thing to go through.
I love what Mary said when He blessed her…
Mary answered, “I am the Lord’s servant. Let everything you’ve said happen to me.” Then the angel left her. What trust…she didn’t try to figure it all out…she just believed…wow!
So glad to hear that your cousins will be around to give you some support! it sounds like you have sucha strong faith to lean on as well!
HI Kama, Glad to hear that you will have more help. Sounds like things are getting better all around. Thanks for sharing Joyce with us! I love her too! Keep on keep’n the faith!
