I Got A Verse For That

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, The last Wednesday of the month of November and also Thanksgiving Eve. Yes, Thanksgiving Eve, the day before, and being the day before the things that have been on the list but kept putting them farther and farther down are now at the top. The day old bread you were going to pick up is definitely at the top of the list and probably that extra table setting that needs to be washed up and of course the most important person on the list is now on the way to the hospital. This is just a scenerio but still little unexpected challenges seem to creep up on the eve of the actual day. The expectations that you had that it all under control is now becoming a scene from a B rated movie. So how do you choose to deal with the unexpected challenges or the unmet expectations? Remember when the whole apps thing came out and there were advertisements where someone would ask something and the response was, "there's an app for that", well thankfully the Lord had planned and purposed His Word so conveniently that whatever is going on in your life - there is a verse for that! The catch is - you need to have read the bible and this is the reason why - Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of sourl and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thougts and intentions of the heart." The truth is so much richer and deeper than the fleshly mind can grasp. Isaiah 55:8-9, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." Yes and Amen, the LORD allows and it just might be that unexpected challenges or the unmet expectations that seem to be more than you can bear at the time; He has a verse for that too, "1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." So if your first choice is to throw up your hands in defeat or think that you had done something wrong - just ask Jesus and the Helper that He gave us will guide and direct you. Let us pray - Abba Father, all praise and glory and honor to Your name. LORD, I ask that each dear and precious sister-in-Christ enjoy Your riches found in Christ Jesus and may her Thanksgiving Day be blessed with LOVE and JOY and PEACE no matter the circumstances or challenges in her life. In Jesus' Name, Amen. Have a blessed Thanksgiving Day,
