Let us Journey On



"And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones? Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever." - Joshua 4:21-24

Dear Friends,

 At the Red Sea the Lord parted the waters and the children of Israel crossed as on dry land.  At Jordan River the Lord had Joshua to instruct them to step out first and as a result of their stepping out, He wrought yet another miracle. The waters parted allowing safe passage.  On the way across twelve stones were collected and the the end of the journey over the river the stones were set in a memorial to mark the event.

 God has different ways of delivering. Sometimes He wants us to launch out, take the initial step, exercise our faith and experience the miracle in the midst of "our river."

 However and whenever God speaks deliverance it is always miraculous.  We can trust that as we journey on, He will be with us to part the waters.

The old spiritual tells our us: "Encourage my soul and let us journey on. Though the night is long and we are far from home.  Thanks be to God the morning light appears. The storm is passing over Hallelujah.

 Let us journey on knowing that God still parts waters.  He still speaks to storms and peace and calm abide. When we get to the other side let us not forget to "build our testimony" so that when others ask, "How did you make it over?" All glory will go to God.  Hallelujah!

 in Christ,

 Sis. Stephanie

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
