A few weeks back,I wrote about how hard the enemy
fights to steal our joy...
I shared that the secret of staying joyful was staying
in an atmosphere of praise and praising your way out of every
seemingly difficult situation..
I think that really got the enemy mad
As always...when you share powerful principles like that
your faith would be tested..
It has been one challenge right after the other for me
The minute I get my head round one issue
another phone call comes in ushering a new challenge....
some days I feel like laughing
other days..hmmm I am not so sure how I feel..
I must say...It can be hard to praise God and stay
joyful when you can't see the way out of a situation.
I sat down in my living room the other day
and my mind was so far away....
I knew what I was doing..I was worrying..
and I heard this loud and clear in my spirit;
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed.
We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.
I heaved a deep sigh...and reached for my phone....
I had to be in an atmosphere of praise...
I had to praise even though I didn't feel like it...
and as always...hope and faith came alive again.
casting all my cares on Him for He truly cares for me
I will trust him through this and I know I would not
be ashamed.
Life can feel so overwhelming at times..
sometimes the challenges just keep flooding in..
but what do we do when we feel overwhelmed.
Do we forget In whom we have believed in
Do we forget how HE delivered us from the bear and the Lion..
Sometimes I can't help when the tears just flow..
Its OK to cry,but after that...do I wipe my tears and declare
God's promises concerning me?
Child of God...my challenges are still there but I am not worried any more
I am assured,persuaded and confident
that God has made a way..All things are working out for my
good because I love God..
As I encourage myself and choose to stay joyful,with a heart full of praise
I encourage you too...regardless of your challenge..
It would pass,God would make a way..
Lets continue to hold on to his promises
IT IS WELL
God bless you...
2 Corinth 4:8-9(ESV)
we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;…
Habakkuk 3:17-18(ESV)
Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.…
1Pet 5:7(KJV)
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
