The Lord is my strength - Part 2

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy!!!!  I thought I was having a few rough weeks until Jason came home last night and gave me more bad news.  When I posted yesterday I was a little stressed, now I am a lot stressed.  But before I went to bed last night and I opened my bible, I had no idea what I was going to read, to be honest with you I was kind of in a fog.  I had already reviewed my most recent post with Jason and kept telling him and myself, its ok, God never gives us more than we can handle and we are going to be ok.  So I got my bible and before I opened it I just prayed for guidance, then I leafed thru the pages and read some notations here and there that I had wrote down over the years and reread a Sunday school lesson I had done when I was helping Crystal with her jr. girls class.  Then I thought I am going to read one of the minor prophets, I wanted something short, so I started in Hosea (too long, cause I wanted to read the whole book) and kept going, I ended up in Habakkuk.  It was an interesting read, at first I didn’t feel that it was helping, but when I got to the very end of the book, I wanted to cry.  God is so good and he knows what we need when we need it, because the very last verse in the very last chapter spoke to me.



Habakkuk 3:19

The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.  To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.



I went running upstairs to show Jason what I had just read; I was crying and thinking how wonderful it is to serve a God who loves us so completely.  I told Jason I was amazed how I had just typed what I was feeling that morning and wanted to share just a simple thought, not knowing what was going to happen later in the day and then to finish the day with a reminder from HIM that HE has it all under control and that HE is my strength.  We do serve a Mighty God and I thank Him for His provisions and the gentle reminders that He gives us.



And a special thanks to Nana for the verses and I will share them here as well.  I love you and thank you for being such a wonderful Mother-in-law.



Joshua 1:8 & 9

This book of the laws shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:  for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success.

Have not I commanded thee?  Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:  for the LORD They God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
