The Darkest Hour is Just Before Day

Psalm 51:12King James Version (KJV)

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Dear Friends,

There are times in our lives when the Lord takes us through a period of restoration. Our strength is depleted. We know the Lord is near even when the attacks of the enemy are relentless.  Finding myself in such a place, the Holy Spirit brought to mind the words to a song, "the darkest hour is just before day."  
It can be hard to find our way in the dark even in places that are familiar. We bump into things. "Ouch! I hurt my leg on the couch I should have remembered it was there. Now I have a bruise." Well known territory can become a scary place in the dark. 
Our saving grace in the darkness is the Light that never grows dim. Jesus illuminates the most powerful darkness. In Him there is no darkness at all.
Well, what does all this have to do with the blog? I could not see my way to the blog in the darkness. I had to wait for daybreak. 
I can share this with you. The ties that bind the body of Christ are a threat to the enemy. But God through the blood of Jesus has bound the body together, knit the body together through the precious blood of His Son.
The Holy Spirit wraps us up and holds us tight through every valley, dark cave and blind spot that comes against us.  

"Blessed be the ties that bind our hearts in Christian love. The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above."

Until we meet again...God bless!

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
