The Gent and I are reading through this book together at night. We started reading a devotional book (one with a reading for each day) soon after we got married. It is an easy way to make sure we spend some time each day contemplating God's truths and praying together. Yes, sometimes we get behind, but we manage to catch up. We adapt . . . when Annie was first born we had our devotional time during her 2am feeding. Hey, whatever works, I say!
Anyway, this was the passage we read on February 8 and I just wanted to share it with you.
Surely I am with you always. Matthew 28:20
"Never look ahead to the changes and challenges of this life in fear. Instead, as they arise look at them with the full assurance that God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. Hasn't He kept you safe up to now? So hold His loving hand tightly, and He will lead you safely through all things. And when you cannot stand, He will carry you in His arms.
Do not look ahead to what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you His unwavering strength that you may bear it. Be at peace, then, and set aside all anxious thoughts and worries."
The Lord is my shepherd. Psalm 23:1
Thanks for sharing! This was encouraging.
