“MY ROCK”

What can I say about the last few days?

“THE LORD IS MY ROCK AND MY STRENGTH, MY PROTECTOR AND MY JOY AND PEACE!”

God is good all the time, even in the chaos of the last week!

First thing, we spent from Tuesday to Saturday trying to get relief for my husband Ronald’s pain. A trip to the Doctor, a trip to the ER, trying for 2 days to days to see a doctor again to no avail, and then seeing an amazing new Doctor on Saturday who found the problem. After several shots, and medicine he is on the mend.

In the middle of this, on Thursday when all the storms came through this area our neighborhood got hit hard. We were in the hall praying and calling on Jesus! We were and are fine!

Our house sustained some damage. We had a tree go through the garage window and there is some wind damage to the roof. We were without power for three days and we have a yard full of uprooted trees.

We are so grateful those big trees did not hit our house. We would probably have been hurt. The boxes the tree knock over in the garage hit the side of the car but did not damage it and the Christmas stuff in the boxes that got knocked around were not broken.

Our next-door neighbor had a tree come through the roof above his bedroom

for all those we know who were affected, but God will turn it to good.

Paul tells us in every situation to give thanks, not for every situation but in every situation because God is still God and works for us!

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

God’s will for us to give thanks! The bad that happened is not His will!

There is a song that says that’s no mountain for a climber when the maker of the mountain is with you!

May I encourage you today that whatever mountain you are facing, God will remove it or be right with you as you climb it.

Do not be discouraged or afraid of what you face are may face because as a child of God, He is in you and with you and fighting for you!

If you are in the most difficult time of your life or you are on the mountain top of joy, just know that the one who created you loves you with a love that will never end!

Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

I leave with you 2 John 1:3

2 John 1:3 (KJV)
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Let the God of peace fill you with peace no matter the situation you find yourself in! The truth of His love for you overrides the facts of your situation!

Stay secure in Him!

Father, in Jesus’ name I thank you that you are the one who give peace in the midst of the storm and there is nothing happening to us that you are not aware of. Let each of us rest in you and cast all our cares and uncertainty on you! You made the mountains and the valleys, and you are with us in all places and all times. I worship and adore you and thank you for peace that the world cannot give! Amen!

Love, MeMaw
