daily prayer

    Good morning! How are we faithing? God is just awesome. He reveals things in his Word and then confirmation happens by other believers. Many times I have been in the Word, make a discovery that is new for me and a brother or sister in the Lord tells me they are hearing the same thing. Our afflictions we face are not unusual or new. Nothing is new under the sun. What ever you and I face, the principles have been the same since time on earth began, well maybe after the fall...Sometimes the things that hound me are my own weakness of mind and flesh. It is so terrific when fellow believers let me know they have or are suffering similarly. Not that I want to see anyone suffer, but at the same time that loneliness felt during those times evaporates once we become aware that others have been there or are treading with you. It's real easy to turn inward when things attack us from the blind side and we are taken aback. God speaks to his children but his kids tend to not stop and listen. So when we are being afflicted, rather than whine about that said affliction, why not look for the lesson, the purpose and what our Father is telling us. Get quiet. Read the Word then pause in reflection. Listen to that still small voice because our strength and our endurance can only come from the Lord..


Psalms 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
KJV


Proverbs 24:16
For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,
But the wicked stumble in time of calamity.
NAS

John 16:33
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
NAS

2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
NAS

James 5:10-11
As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.
NAS

Remember this author...remember the lost...remember the lonely...
