When we know that we know that the Lord guides and leads us and our footsteps…then there is peace..there is a special kind of peace that will come and reside and rest over you…for the bible says, that the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord..Psalm 37:23..for the Lord is the one the bible says that makes them crooked places straight in our lives..Isaiah 45:2..Praise the Lord…for we may never know the path that we will tread upon or have to go down..but we can always rest knowing that God knows the pathway that we are on..and that God knew it from the beginning…so we trust and we keep on walking..and as were walking we stay walking on the narrow pathway that leads us and is going to lead us to the Lord one day..Matthew 7:13..Hallelujah…for God is making all things new in our lives..and God is bringing in a new season of refreshing…and a new season of joy..and a new season of new beginnings…for new beginnings are wonderful…I look back over my life and I can now see the hand of the Lord and that through it all…the good…the bad and the ugly times of my life…that the Lord was there through everything…couldn’t understand then..but I understand now..and I see how through everything..it honestly was used for my best interest and for my good…that in it and through it I learned and I grew…and that even when I felt that I wasn’t where I should’ve been at that time in my life..I was still in the will of the Lord…because how many of ya know that God uses those valleys to grow us up..He uses those bad times that may come to help us to grow in Him and to trust Him like we’ve never trusted Him before…for we know and I pray we always remember that God and His ways are not our ways…for Gods way and Gods thoughts are much higher than ours..Isaiah 55:8-9…and that through everything that we face or ever have to face…God works all them things together somehow and someway..for our good..Romans 8:28..kinda like a huge puzzle…but I pray that if you are somewhere in your life and you don’t understand I pray you always understand that God is still God whether we are up on the mountain or whether we’re down low…way low in the valley that God is there and that God is with you and for you…so we keep on going…despite the fact of what is or isn’t happening the way we think it should be happening…but that we know that it is happening Gods way…and Gods way is perfect…so rest and wait I pray on the Lord…for God is always on time..and God always provides a way of escape..so if your praying..and if your believing for something in your life…then don’t let your mouth…or yourself get in the way…or stop the hand of the Lord from being able to move and do just what it is that He so desires to do in and through you and your life…for He has a great plan for each of us…so wait on the Lord…stay faithful…stay content…and stay filled up and prayed up at all times..for guys this ole world isn’t our homes…we all are just pilgrims and strangers..passing through…so while were here make sure to be doing the work of the Lord…for heaven and earth one day is gonna pass away…but Gods word it will never pass away..Matthew 24:35..for Gods word it is a lamp guys unto our feet and a light unto our pathways…Psalm 119:105…so keep walking that pathway for the Lord…for one day it will lead us on home…to live forever with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…they’ll be no more sadness…sickness…pains…death..or heartaches there…but it sure is gonna be a glorious place that will be forever and ever live on for all eternity..with our Lord Jesus..what a day that is going to be…for the song says..life is easy when your up on the mountain and you’ve got peace of mind..like you’ve never known but then things changes…your down in the valley don’t lose faith for…your never alone…for the God on the mountain He’s still God in the valley..when things go wrong He’ll make them right..and the God of the good times…He’s still God in the bad times…for the God of the day…He’s still God in the night..so hold on for we know that no matter what that God is with us…and He is moving and working it all out for you and for me…for that’s just the kind of God it is that we serve…Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
