The Girl has given me a Halloween treat today. She bought little paper sayings to add to her "treats" this year....just another way to share Jesus and HIS Word. As soon as I saw this one as a choice, I grabbed it. It spoke good advice to me. I thought you blog readers would enjoy as well. I love it!
Well, the title of this post sounds like a game show, doesn't it? Hear the question, have the right answer, and load up your winnings to take home, right?
I'm here to tell you that life is not a game show, I hear the questions, am empty for right answers, and have no winnings. Or...so it seems. Then I take a closer look at life.
For all of you faithful readers, you may have noticed I have not posted a new post in over a month. Yes, over a month. This thing called life has kicked me a bit. This afternoon I sit to reflect.
The unanswered questions and the fears have stacked up way over my head at times. There have been fears of health problems, there have been untimely family passings days apart, there have been decisions regarding health issues of those I love and care for, and that's not even counting all this political mess that seems much further away from me.
My Pray Without Ceasing Friend has taught me more about continually praying without ceasing and I'm getting better....not near where she is in her prayer life but closer. When someone asks me to pray for a need in their life (and they have often lately), I just stop then and pray for them. And then when I think of them again or pray again, I pray for them again. I have thought and wondered if Jesus gets tired of hearing me over and over and over and over and as I reflect and see HIS provision in all these areas lately, I'm pretty sure HE never tires of me. I am one blessed girl to be the girl of such a Heavenly Father that is so loving and good.
So, where are the answers? They come directly from the Word of my Heavenly Father. I have felt awed amazement when I have opened my Bible numerous times and turned exactly to the scripture that fits my need. I got goosebumps, yes goosebumps, when Isaiah 41:10 and Psalm 27 were read in Sunday School assembly last Sunday. Those were two particular scripture answers I had just read the day before. Coincidence? Nah. Even in my devotion book, "Streams in the Desert" by L.B. Cowman there was a direct answer to an issue I had struggled with. On the exact day after I struggled with it. Coincidence? Nah.
I have also found encouragement which I saw as an answer of sorts when twice last week I received texts from two different people from different areas of my life saying I was on their heart and they wanted to check on me. I was so humbled. Coincidence? Nah.
So with all that randomness I will tell you that amidst all the fears, all the sadness and grief, and all the uncertainties, my Jesus has provided for me in HIS promises because I know HE never lies and HE never leaves and HE always is there providing HIS best even though I can't see that through my vision of life somedays. I can rest and be assured of HIS promises!
And that, my friends, is where the answers REALLY are!
Consider....
