It's been a week today that our latest trial blindsided us.
My boys, ages 13 and 9, have had to endure many hard times in their short life. They lost their Nana and Papa in just a four year span. Then their mom was sick for a year and no one could figure out why. My youngest son would cry every morning going to school, worried that his mom was going to die like his Nana and Papa did. :(
But Praise the Lord, He started healing me just a short time ago... And then last Friday we were blindsided with another trial. Just a reminder that Satan may be stopped on one front but he is always searching for another way in - especially if you are doing God's work and giving Him the glory.
By no means am I sharing all of this for anyone to feel sorry for our family. I have always been transparent in the past by sharing all my struggles so God will get the glory.
One of the great problems in our world is how weak people are. Human beings are too often weak in the face of temptation or weak in the face of the obstacles that come their way. But a believer does not have to be plagued by such weakness because we have the power of God to rely upon. The apostle Paul said in Phil. 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
God is so good. He is with us always. He gives us strength for each day. We are seeking His wisdom & guidance. There are lessons to be learned in the wilderness and apparently we have a lot to learn! As much as I would love for us to be out of the wilderness, I refuse to go without my God. So, we will stay until He leads us out.
Always remember - your goal shouldn’t be to get your way, but to remain stable no matter what comes your way. God will give you double for your trouble if you stand strong on the Word of God.
Blessings,
Dalinda
