Don't Wait Till the Trouble Comes



 "Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the Lord hath spoken.
 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord's flock is carried away captive."
    -  Jeremiah 3:15-17

Dear Friends,

One of the last things my grandmother told me before she passed away was: "Don't wait till the trouble comes to pray.  You pray all the time."  I remember she was pointing her finger at me as she said it.  On her dying bed my grandmother admonished me about praying.  I have not always heeded this advice.

When we we are in trouble it is easy to cry out for Mercy Lord, Mercy.  The Bible tells us however, to pray without ceasing.

Pray in season and out of season...pray in good times and bad.

Don't wait till the trouble comes.

Pray.

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
