The last few days have been an adventure you might say. An adventure in learning, accepting and trusting in God --- our God, the Lord God Almighty --- who gives us hope and joy and peace, no matter what we see around us. This is what I've learned. (I sure hope I've learned it. LOL)
"No matter what we see, no matter what we hear, no matter what it seems is happening all around us, we can be comforted by this assurance. When we trust God, He makes everything work together for our good." I know that may sound glib to some and like "Christianese" to others, but it's really true.
If the enemy means it for our harm, God will work it for our good just like Joseph told his brothers "What you intended for my harm, God meant for good." If it's God working in our lives, then we know He always does what's best for us and all those involved.
So, no matter where the situation arises or whether it's God or our enemy creating it, we can know with confidence and true hope that either way, it will work out for our good.
Be assured! Stand strong! Take courage! Believe and be filled with joy and peace and "abound in hope" by the power of the Holy Spirit!
And by the way ... thank you for your prayers!!!
Hugs,
Joy

Thanks Becky! God always is for our best! Just like a parent at a soccer match cheering his son/daughter on, only better!
