Have a Sweet Sabbath Rest

A Good  Sunday Morning to you!!

*

Hope you have been having a lovely and restful

weekend,  with family and/ or friends.

*

Our weekend has been very delightful,  will

tell you more about it on Tuesday, as

hubby will be home until then.

*

I will leave you with these verses I read, and

was struck by this week in Hebrews 3:12-13

*

"See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful,

unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

But encourage one another daily, as long as it is

called today, so that none of you may be hardened

by sin's deceitfulness."

*

I say wow,  an unbelieving heart,  when we don't

believe God about something it is an unbelieving

heart, and that is sin!  I was reading in the commentary

about this and it was saying that first comes the doubting

heart, and the mistrust, which can lead us to departing

from our relationship with the Lord,  and that is why

it says it verse 13 that we need to encourage each

other daily.  I think that is so true because each of

us goes thru things almost daily, but then there are

big things that happen in our lives that the enemy

tries to use to make us believe that God doesn't

really care about us,  He is not for us or why

would He let this happen?  We really have to

get it in our head and our heart that God loves

us more than we could ever imagine,  and that

He is for us,  He is on our side,  and even when

bad things happen He has a good plan in store

for us.  Romans 8:28, says,  that God works all

things together for the good of those who are called

according to His purposes.  Sometimes we

just have to hang on, and keep watching

and waiting  before we can see it, but it is

always there.  The Lord is more interested

in perfecting us in to His image that He is

about our happiness and comfort.

He may hurt us,  but He will never harm us!

Much like the Dr. who has to set a broken

leg,  in order for us to walk properly again,  he

may have to hurt us to accomplish that,  but his

intention is not to harm us, it is for our good,

to help us, so that you will not walk with a limp

 the rest of your life.

That is truly the heart of God!

Take courage dear one,  if you are going

thru a tough time right now,  know that God loves

you with an infinite and All knowing love.

Claim the truth of Romans 8:28 and be

watching and looking and asking for God

to show you the good He wants to bring

out of your situation.

*

If you would ever like me to pray for you,  go

up to the top of my blog on the right hand

side where it says contact me,  and click

on that and send me an email,  I would

be honored to pray for you.

*

I have been encouraged by many of

you this week by your sweet words, and your prayers

 for my back,  I have been doing great since Friday

and I truly attribute it to God answering

your prayers.  Thank you so very much!

Have a Sweet Sabbath Rest,

Love, Hugs, and Blessings,
