Need some encouragement today?

 

… then this post is for you!   It was written back in 2009 during an especially discouraging time in my own life.  As always, God is as beautifully faithful today as He was in 2009, and as He was in the beginning – and as He will be tomorrow!  May God Almighty encourage you through His Ever Present and Never Failing Word. 🙂

If you are thirsty for a Word from God about you, your needs, or your loved ones, may these Truths from your Good and Sovereign Lord quench your parched hearts. He loves you and is concerned about every detail of your life and your circumstances. And He is working on your behalf, even if you can’t see it. By faith and by past experience, I know this to be true.

Trust Him, my friends. And let His peace and presence wash over you through His Word today… I’m praying for you…
