God Speaks

The fog is so thick, yet God speaks, comforts and reassures.

(Excerpts from Our Daily Bread)
Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

The day before his 52nd birthday, Abraham Lincoln left Springfield, Illinois, to become President of the United States. With the threat of civil war looming, he said goodbye to the friends and neighbors who had come to see him off. “I now leave,” he told them, “not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of the Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell.”

Into His hands lay the fears that haunt me,
The dread of future ills that may befall;
Into His hands I lay the doubts that taunt me,
And rest securely, trusting Him for all. --Christiansen

Living without trust in God is like driving in the fog.

…Without the assistance of the DIVINE BEING who ever attended him, I CANNOT SUCCEED. With that assistance I CANNOT FAIL…

…let us CONFIDENTLY HOPE that all will yet be well…


I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39) ---What a truth to cling to when we begin to doubt God’s love...because of the severity of our pain, the enormity of our loss, the incongruity of the situation. The essence of God’s being is love – He never separates Himself from that. ---Kay Arthur

NOTHING can separate us from the love of God…Amen! Hallelujah!
