What's Your Story?



"Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!That with an iron stylus and lead They were engraved in the rock forever As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth".  - Job 19:23-25

Dear Friends,

Most of us are familiar with the story of Job.  Job a man who pursued righteousness and fled from evil. In so doing he captured the attention of the enemy.  The enemy presented himself before God seeking an opportunity to lay traps for Job in an attempt to turn him away from God.  However, God set boundaries.  The enemy could only push so far.  

 God still sets boundaries.  There is no free for all on the life of a Christian.  The enemy cannot attack at will. He has to get permission from God.  In that permission limits  are set.  Our souls are secure in Christ. They are not up for negotiation.  Tests present themselves for the purpose of producing testimonies. God has already given us the study guide to get us ready.  His Word is Our Guide.

Job wanted his story told.  His desire was that his words would be written in a book.  He wanted his testimony engraved in iron and lead in a rock. God answers Job's request for his story is etched in scripture.  Engraved in the Rock that is Christ, the Word.  His story, the bottom line: "I know that my Redeemer lives..."  Job was confident in the One who has the power to save, heal, deliver and restore and he was not disappointed.  He had made up his mind to wait all the day of his appointed time for the change to come, for the crooked to be made straight.


What's your story?  Do you know that Your Redeemer lives? Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy... (Psalms 107:2)

Your story? "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so."

 in Christ,

"Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
