Whatever You Are Going Through- Walk Through It By Faith, and Not By Sight!!
-We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.
(2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
Hey Neighbor!
Sometimes it seems like we’ve become burdened down with more weight than we can carry, but never forget the our God is a Heavy Load-lifter and a Mind-Regulator, and This Too, Shall Pass!!
Here’s Another Oldie-but- a-Goodie!!
*************************************
It’s been said that as We live this life, We will find that We are either;
Going through troubles..
Just coming out of troubles…
Or about to go through troubles…
For those of You going through today, I would like to Encourage You to Walk through it by Faith, and Not By Sight.
Take a Read through 2 Corinthians Chapter 4:
Paul tells Us that When we go through life’s tribulations; deterioration of the family, divorce and bitter separations, mental and emotional breakdown, financial woes, physical illness and pain, etc., If we will walk through it trusting in, and relying on God, then Our suffering is but a temporary, momentary, affliction…
And This Too Shall Pass!!
No!! Our troubles aren’t going to cease whenever we want them to; it’s not our own timing that’s important, but it’s God’s timing.
-But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
(Psalms 31:14-15)
Paul says that this current suffering that we are experiencing, in the natural, will produce great gains for Us spiritually, and eternally.
So although we are experiencing suffering in this fleshly tent, and these bodies that we live in are dying and deteriorating daily, Paul reminds Us that the inner man- the Spirit Man- is being refreshed and renewed daily!!
Paul encourages Us, as he reminds us that although there is trouble all around Us…
As we we walk through with God, He will give Us peace…so we’re not stressed-out.
When we are confused and perplexed, He gives us His grace (his kindness, mercy and favor)…so we’re not left in desperation and despair.
When we’re persecuted and it seems we’re fighting battles on every hand, Praise God we’re never forsaken nor defeated, because He causes Us to triumph over Our enemies.
Even when we are weak in the knees with fear and we fall down…it’s the Truth of God’s written Word that renews our Faith and Encourages Us to Get back up and Press On!!
Sometimes life’s roads appear to be rough, and rocky!!
And Yes!! Sometimes those mountains do look insurmountable, but your troubles won’t last always!!
God will give you hinds’ feet!!
And as you journey through these crooked places, with God’s Word in Hand and His Word hidden in Your Heart, you will make spiritual progress and You will make it out alright!!
By Faith, You will reach the summit – leaving your troubles and your sufferings far behind!!
So Be Encouraged Today!!
This Too Shall Pass!!

Well my husband always fries the turkey, but I do the rest! I have to give my sons some credit!! They cleaned my greens already, and cut up the bell peppers, garlic, onion, and celery…so that makes my life a lot easier. Menu: turkey/dressing, greens, baked Mac and cheese, candied sweet potatoes, and homemade cranberry sauce. It’s just the 4 of us this year…me, hubby, and the boys!! I will miss both my daughters tremendously, but Allie will be home for Christmas😃

I don’t either Tam! 😁 But the testing of our faith produced patience and after patience is complete, we will be perfect, lacking nothing. What’s for dinner? 🙏🏾❤️

James says he welcomes trials and tribulation for his perfection…I don’t know about you, but I do not!!
And yet, I realize that I am certainly not exempt from sufferings!!
If I continue on in faith, trusting him, I know that God will cause it all to work out for my good…and yours too!! May we never cease to continue on ‘pressing into His glorious presence!’💕

Amen Amen! You are preaching to me! You’ve been fired up lately. It’s interesting and amazing how the testing of our faith and the fiery trials of life, sets us ablaze for God. We don’t want to admit it, but battles cause us to press further into his presence. That is for those of us who have a heart after God as trial cause some people to waver, doubt and drift away from God. ❤️💖💗💕🙏🏾

My Sis😘Weeping may endure for the night…remember David soaked his pillow with tears…he cried all night!!
I am weary with my groaning; all night I soak my pillow with tears, I drench my couch with my weeping. My eye grows dim because of grief; it grows old (Ps 6:6)
But, indeed joy cometh in the Morning!! God’s Mercies are New for Us, every morning and your enemies will be put to shame!! 💕💕
The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord receives my prayer. Let all my enemies be ashamed and sorely troubled; let them turn back and be put to shame suddenly (Ps 6:9)
