We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.  And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.  (from Romans)

It was midnight, I had just finished hanging up 40 some cloth diapers to dry.   There was a just turned 5-year-old boy, an almost 3-year-old boy, and a brand new set of twin boys asleep; 3 of which would need those diapers in just a few hours.  I was beside myself; I had no hope of relief of my situation nor the need of salvation for my soul.  NOW I KNOW!

I pray for you daily to want to intimately know the God who is… Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.  For he will rescue you from every trap  and protect you from deadly disease.  He will cover you with his feathers.  He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.  Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.  Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,     nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side,    though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes,  and see how the wicked are punished.  If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.  For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.  They will hold you up with their hands  so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.  You will trample upon lions and cobras;  you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!   The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble.   I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life   and give them my salvation.  (from Psalms)

Beloved–

“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.  (from John)

I’ve had many beginnings in my life.  The sweetest was when my Lord Jesus pulled my heart “kicking and screaming” out of my sinful rebellion against him.

I pray for you daily to want an intimate relationship with the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!
