"Every day
will I bless
thee and I
will praise
thy name for
ever and
ever." -----
Psalms
145:2.
*******************
There is an
old saying
which says,
"into every
life, a
little rain
must fall."
God didn't
promise we'd
always have
sunny skies
or perfect
days.
We all will
go through
times of
affliction,
pain, or
sorrow, as
we journey
through this
life.
The good
news is that
we have one
who is
touched by
the feelings
of our
infirmities.
We'll never
face more
than we are
able to go
through.
In every
storm, we
have one who
can still
say, "peace,
be still."
When we will
learn to
lean on
Jesus, we
can have
assurance
that He will
help us
stand.
There is
power in His
blessed holy
name.
There is a
story about
Little
Beverly
Smith, of
Ohio, who
they say
almost never
cries.
She burned
her hand
severely,
but didn't
cry.
Articles say
that she has
a rare
illness for
which there
is no cure.
Because she
is unable to
feel pain,
her mother
has to
constantly
watch her as
she doesn't
have the
warning
signals of
danger, as
other
children.
A life
without pain
is dangerous
for this
child, as it
is for
anyone.
Her sickness
reveals the
value of
pain.
Trials which
the Lord
allows to
come into
our life are
not to harm
us, but can
work out for
our good and
God's glory.
Although we
may not
understand
the pain and
sorrow of
this life,
God will
give His
grace to see
His children
through.
With Him, we
have all we
need.
When we face
trouble, we
can either
become
"bitter, or
better."
Trials and
tribulations
can give us
an
opportunity
to rejoice,
for greater
is the one
who lives
within, than
the evil one
who is in
the world.
Trials can
make us have
a stronger
character,
work
patience in
our lives,
hope, and
experience.
Without
pain, there
would be no
warning of
many dangers
we might
face.
We see that
even pain
can have
value at
times,
although not
one of us
welcomes
pain or
suffering.
Trials can
be turned
into
testimonies,
if we trust
in the Lord
with all our
heart, lean
not to our
own
understanding,
and continue
to follow
Him.
He will
direct our
paths and
lead us
safely
through this
life.
The
sufferings
of this
present life
are not
worthy to be
compared to
the glory
which shall
be revealed
hereafter.
Do you have
problems
today?
Look to
Jesus, for
everything
will be
alright with
his help.
May we be
encouraged
to rise
above all
the
obstacles of
life as we
seek the
Lord to turn
them into
opportunities.
God is able
to give us a
godly
gladness
that we
might
glorify Him
in all
things, even
the pain
that life
may
sometimes
bring our
way.
Keep leaning
on Jesus.
He'll give
true joy
which the
world cannot
understand,
peace that
passes
understanding,
and His
unfailing
love.
There is
none like
Him!
Blessings in
Christ,
