A Blessing for Every Trial
It’s the end of February already. The first half of the month I spent working through the passing of my young niece. The second half, I have had one of my roughest bouts with common cold ever!
Yes it was a short and difficult month but God was with me every day in every way.
There is the heartache of losing my special and young dear niece.
There is the blessing of knowing she is with the Lord.
There was the traveling to Ohio under the emotional turmoil I felt and then the traveling home in the blinding snow storm.
There was the blessing of God’s protective hand on me; I was never out of His sight or His reach. His Presence was and is with me always!
There was in the midst of my own grief the need to be strong for my family.
There was the blessing of knowing that friends and family back home were praying for me and for those hurting with me. God gave us all strength and comfort and peace!
There have been days of fatigue and weakness due to my cold.
The blessing is that God has given me time to get much needed sleep, quiet rest and time with Him.
There were the unplanned expenses of the travel and oh yes, the underground water pump for the well that needed to be replaced early in the month!
The blessing has been that God has abundantly provided for every need this month!
The promise of eternal security – spiritual need
The promise of strength, comfort and peace in the emotional storm –spiritual, emotional and physical needs
The promise of His constant Presence and protection in the midst of the storms of life – spiritual and physical needs
The promise of His on time provision for financial needs planned or unplanned – material needs
Praise God for He has indeed BLESSED AND ABUNDANTLY provided for EVERY need!
