☊ PRAISE from Sara

Dear Brides,
That was not the end that I have expected from this book, but this way it finished is way better!

He taught me that is not because I am not immediately released from a burden or have the mountain falling in front of me that I am not being blessed and I am not in His will. We will have troubles and tribulations, not all things will be solved on this side, but He uses it all, not only for OUR good but for the good of others, we are walking testimonies of His mercies, grace, faithfulness, and endurance. One of the hardest things is to keep our faith when we continue in the fire. So I was very encouraged by this chapter, ["Mountain Moved"]!

What I believe would help me is to keep looking at Him and how He is using each hard situation to grow my faith. I don't believe that it will come a time that our faith is enough, He will continue to stretch it until the day we are finally with Him.

Today I was encouraged to read in His word about the feeding of the five thousand. "And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He gave them to the disciples again and again to set before them...and they picked up twelve full baskets of the broken pieces of bread, and of the fish" Luke 9:16-17.

In breaking the bread many were fed! Sometimes is through our brokenness that many will also be blessed.

I want to enjoy the opportunities He gives me to use what He has given me to encourage others instead of being sad about the things that I don't have or prayers not answered. Instead, I want to rejoice for all that is doing and all the places He is bringing me to share about His love and faithfulness.

Dear Brides,
Whatever is happening in your life remember that is right there with you. Take His hand, step out of the boat, and keep trusting in Him even if the winds continue to blow.

“‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope’” Jeremiah 29:11

Therefore, “For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hastens toward the goal and it will not fail though it tarries, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay” Habakkuk 2:3.

And certainly, you and "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living." Psalm 27:13
