All of Them

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV

I was thinking about this today...

All the hard times we've faced. The hospitalizations we've survived. The near-death experiences. The bills that managed to get paid. Vehicles that have been gifted to us. Employment positions that have been created and offered. All those times I just couldn't see any way to make it through and yet, we did! Every time! Every one of them! ALL of them because of the faithfulness of God!

I woke with these words in my heart from the old Sheri Easter song,
♪♫ Over and over, again and again
Through it all, He's made me able
To stand and survive, to come through alive
When it sure looked like I couldn't win
Jesus is with me so I claim the victory
Over and over again ♪♫

Peter tells us in Acts 10:34 that God shows no favoritism to all those who fear Him and do what is right. So, I came to tell you that He'll do it for you, too. And in case you have a hard time believing that, I would point out that I KNOW this isn't the first trial you've faced, but you're still here. All those times YOU just couldn't see any way to make it through and yet, you did! Every time! Every one of them! ALL of them because of the faithfulness of God! 

Prayer:

Father,

           Give us grateful hearts to recognize ALL the times You've brought us through. We may have some battle scars, but we made it through because of Your faithfulness toward us. Redirect our focus, Lord. Help us to see Your handprint on the day-to-day of our lives. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
