I am ever so Thankful for the gentle reminders that my precious Lord sends my way just at the right time.
This week has already been filled with many blessings, and many other things that would not necessarily be considered....blessings. They would be best described as, trials, difficulties, tests, and various bumps and pot holes in our road.
As it always seems to happen, just when something in one's life is going well, satan just has to interfere, and other things I know my precious Lord does allow to come into our life for one reason or another.
Well this has been our week....already. The details.....I wont wont bother with, nor shall I spend much....if any time thinking on them. It matters not whether it be vehicle trouble, financial difficulties, bad health, or the sky falling......over abundantly. For I know my Lord is aware of it all, and HE has made provisions for everything in our lives.
So, could I spend time whining, giving in to my flesh, worrying, being fearful, wondering about the hows, how comes, whys and whens? And honestly.....I had just started to give in to that yesterday afternoon, as a few things seemingly became more.....well.....let's just call them....unpleasant!, in our life. Yet, even as I was thinking, "Lord, how are we going to fix this situation & that problem"? We went to church last night (as we normally do), as my sweet Lord always does, He had already prepared the message that I/we were needing to hear. Last night at our church Bro. Curtis (a preacher with in our church) preached last night.
Well, that message was most definitely for.....ME! It was just the gentle reminder to my heart, head, mind & soul....NOT to WORRY! My loving Lord and heavenly Father, set it right out there for me. The Lord reminded me to simply trust in HIM, and reminded me, "to Be careful for Nothing"!
The entire message that was preached was seemingly just for me and my hubby. I am not usually much of a worrier any more, yet our enemy does still know how to try and push me in that direction, and exactly what to use to do it.
So....I shall stand firm in knowing that everything is in my precious Lords hands, all is under HIS control, and there is NO need for me to worry, or be concerned, or as the Bible calls it.....FRET, there is no need for me to "fret" about it.
I shall just say....Thank You Lord for tests, trials, hard times, and what ever you see fit to bring my way! Thank You Lord for peace, assurance, calm, security in you, your will for my life, and most of all.....your provisions for my life as you see fit.
Thank You Lord for gentle reminders!
Love & Prayers,
Ronda
