In my life I’ve faced many hills that I believed I could never get over. I would look up at the unyielding problems I faced & feel unbelievably hopeless. Down and dejected, believing that there was no way I’d ever overcome. Each time I come up to a new challenge I find myself taking a mindset that I’ve already lost. But the good news! The father has redeemed me! Everytime I have already counted myself out, the Father interjects & shows me how loved and capable I am through his eyes. He is my biggest encourager and my greatest friend. Every time I think I am falling short, Psalms 23 comes to mind.
“ The Lord is my Shepard; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me by still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his names sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
What a good word! What an encourager. In the darkest of nights, in the lowest of valleys, the father is always there as my protector. I cannot even begin to express what JOY has come over my soul because the Creator of the heavens and earth and everything dwelling on it is always in my corner. Always fighting for me & comforting me the way only He can. He truly brings us from glory to glory and Is genuinely so dang good to us. His steadfast love is better than life.
P.S. I’m still trying to get fully funded so that I can go out & do ministry!! If you feel led to give, you can use the donate tab!! Love you, mean it!
Psalms 23 was your grandmother’s favorite scripture. Your daddy and I grew up with that verse in our mind and heart. I love that this particular Psalm has touched your heart as it did mama Betty. Blessings and prayers as you continue on your beautiful journey.
