Thank you Annie for this act of love.
Brothers and Sisters,
Thank You All for the prayers you are offering to the Lord, in behalf of me and my family. You cannot know how much they are appreciated.
The Lord has given me complete peace in this trial and as I know there is a journey yet before me, He is leading the way.
He loves us so much, enough to give His Son to bring us unto Him; thus we can pray and believe Him that His will is best for us in every area of our lives.
As I was reading this morning His word spoke and I would like to share with you.
Psalm 131:1–3
1 LORD, my heart is not haughty,
Nor my eyes lofty.
Neither do I concern myself with great matters,
Nor with things too profound for me.
2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, (O Church) hope in the LORD
From this time forth and forever.
NKJ
Our hope must be in Him and nothing else; no other issue can or ever should diminish our hope in Him, for our hope must be forever, no matter the circumstances in our lives.
The apostle Paul shares with us a wonderful truth in:
Philip. 4:4-8
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. [5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. [6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. [7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Notice after we have received the Peace of God, we are instructed to think on these things. Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good report, “and if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
In this way we can:
1 Thes. 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
So let us all give thanks unto the Lord for His mercy endureth forever.
Psalm 136:1-3
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. [2] O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. [3] O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalm 136:26
O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalm 140:13
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Thank all of you and may all have a Happy Thanksgiving as we all remember, HE IS FAITHFUL WHO PROMISED.
In His Love
