“When all is well in our lives it’s so easy to be thankful and to praise Jesus for all of His goodness and all of His blessings that He gives unto us…but when life kinda gets hard and when things begin to happen and mishaps come..and everything seems to be moving in a very fast pace..that’s when our true faith and testimony for the Lord comes shining through in our lives and in our relationship with Him..so I always think back to the scriptures when Moses was leading Gods children out from Egypt from Pharaohs bondage..and Gods children was very pleased when they first began their journey with Moses they were so ready and determined to go all the way to get to their promise land..Exodus 13..they were so stirred and on fire about being freed out from under Pharaoh and out and away from them task masters…that they were ready for whatever they had to face as long as they were going on to that place of promise that land flowing with milk and honey…but along the way somewhere they lost sight of what they had been freed from…they lost remembrance of all that they faced under that bondage that they were held in…and so the journey got a little hard for them..and got a little tiring…so they began to complain..and they began to murmur..and tell Moses that they should’ve just stayed there in Egypt…and on and on they murmured and complained…Numbers 14:2…Amen..for they were not at all thankful or appreciative of what all the Lord had already done for them…and they said what turned out to supposingly be an 11 day journey ended up being a 40 year journey…and that is unreal to me to even think about that..Amen..that something that should’ve only taken a short amount of time ended up being 40 years..Wow!!”

“And all because they failed to be thankful and continue on being positive faith filled believers for the Lord..they forgot and how quickly they forgot just what kind of God it is that they were serving…for guys we serve a God of endless possibilities there is nothing the word of God says that He can’t do nor won’t do for us His children…Matthew 19:26..so I pray that wherever we are in our lives that we don’t begin to be like them children in the bible that murmured and forgot all about Gods mercies and Gods grace that He had given to them just as He gives to us…for God has been so good to us…so I pray we never forget all of them times that He has seen us through..Amen..and all of them times that He has showed up and showed out in our lives…Amen..all of them times that He has shown favor…and all of them times that He has rained down that manna from heaven for us…for you see the same God that did all of them things then is the same God who will do all of them things now..Amen..for they say if you’ve been blessed before and God has done it before He will do it again…so we don’t forget who we serve…and we don’t grow weary when the fire in our lives gets turned up just a little bit…we don’t bow our knees to baal..for we serve Jesus Christ…and He is alive and very much well…for scripture reads…call to me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not…Jeremiah 33:3…so don’t look at the problems in your life…but you look to the one in whom can solve them..and can solve them all…you look up into your Father’s face…and you keep your eyes on Him…not on the waves…not on the winds…not on them storms because we go by faith and not at all by sight…2 Corinthians 5:7..we call those things that be not as though they were…Romans 4:17..for Jesus is able..and I say it this way…to do anything, anytime and anywhere that He alone chooses for He is God…and He says that no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly…Psalm 84:11..so keep on walking guys…keep on leaning…and falling into the Lords arms of grace and the Lords arms of mercy…for God is always there to catch us when we fall…for He is forever for us and never is He ever against us…Romans 8:31..so don’t ever forget that…for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray…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 ❤️
