Tested With Forever Love

 This past Wednesday, I was hit by the enemy in a way unlike anything before.  I know the reason he was able to get past my shield of faith was partly due to my extreme weariness from my varied chronic medical conditions.

My oldest and my youngest daughters encouraged me in the Lord on the phone that evening for hours.  My girls repeated back to me what I’ve told them over the years, but to no avail.  I just went to bed and wept bitter tears of fear.  Why?  Because this jab by the enemy, allowed by our Father God to help me grow–like burning off the dross to purify the gold, hit me hard!   To shorten this… the very next morning the issue was resolved.  I giggle now-but it is no laughing matter when we fail to learn from our Father’s allowed tests.  As I praised our Lord Jesus and humbled myself before our Father in heaven as I was extremely saddened by my reaction to this obstacle.  I share this because sometimes we still struggle with the flesh we live in.  We forget, in moments of unexpected trials/troubles/events, who we are in Christ Jesus and that the Lord God Almighty is our Father.  ( rereading Romans 5 and 6 ).

promises2No matter what happens to me in this life… nothing will ever separate me from the love of God.  Standing on the solid Rock and claiming the promises of our Father and Lord Jesus.  Prayerfully… someone may need this today.  ♥ Streim

Friday’s Message in Music

Psalm 145: 18-21 “The Lord is righteous to all who call upon Him in truth.   He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;  He also will hear their cry and save them.
The Lord preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy.
 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, and all flesh shall bless His Holy Name
Forever and ever.”

As this song says… all I can do, day after day is say “thank you” to my Father and Lord Jesus Christ.  Submitting unto His will in all the Word teaches.  May your weekend be amazingly blessed by the Glorious God that David praises in Psalm 145.  ♥ Streim

Friday’s Message in Music

 Psalm 100 ” Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations. “

I hope that you know the reality of our God’s Sovereignty.  “The great ‘I AM that I AM’ “.  No matter what your circumstance today, if you know the Lord Jesus Christ personally through His redemptive blood and blessed resurrection, He is with you. Praise and worship the LORD God!!  ♥ Streim   (**so sorry- earlier link was incorrect song**)
