Good Morning Friends! Thankfully loved by HIM Thursday!!!! Well my Alaska girls are officially now “Cali” girls! I guess “Cali” is the cool way to say you are from California. Anyway they are officially, as of last night, in their new home….new state…..new school….new friends….new climate (we are talking it was -20 when they left Fairbanks-48 in CA right now, hi of 74 today and that’s the norm)…..new lifestyle. Wow…..those girls put a lot of faith in their dad as they pulled out of Fairbanks in their truck and trailer…..faith that he made the right decision to move them all the way to California, faith that he would drive them safely on such a very long journey (we had no contact with them for 3 days while they were going through Canada)….faith they will like their new home, school, friends…..Brave girls I say!!!! Brave and trusting children! As children of our Heavenly Father, we can take some lessons from my girls! They have faith that Dad is going to take care of them…..they lean on him…..Who do we lean on? Do we follow the plans our Heavenly Father… where do we put our faith? Do we lean on our jobs, friends, money to get us through or do we place our lives in the all-knowing, all-loving arms of our Heavenly Father? Do we get in HIS truck lock, stock and barrel, trusting and believing in where HE is leading us…..faithfully following HIS decisions for us……? Or do we question Him….”Oh come on Father, are you sure you want me to teach Sunday School?” “Father, really, you want me to apologize to him…..?” Hmmm……what is that our Heavenly Father says about the faith of little children….Father forgive us for questioning Your will for our lives…..increase our faith so that we listen, hear and follow YOU in everything we do.
But be sure to fear the Lord and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you. 1 Samuel 12:24. For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake His faithful ones. They will be protected forever…. Psalm 37:28. “According to you faith will it be done to you….” Matthew 9:28. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9. The mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6. Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. Proverbs 29:25. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5. The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him Nahum 1:7.
Love you all!
