I will be giving away free eBooks of FACING STORMS: DEVOTIONS FOR THOUGHT AND MEDITATION this Saturday and Sunday on Amazon (Oct. 11th & 12th). Please write a review if you like the book… this really helps authors.
“In FACING STORMS: DEVOTIONS FOR THOUGHT AND MEDITATION, Ms. Zelenka continues her theme of perspective. Within this second book of a devotional trilogy, the reader will quickly recognize a common thread regarding storms, trials, and adversity. Ms Zelenka asserts that such times are actually blessings from a loving God since they serve to teach perseverance and aide in the maturation of Christian faith. The entire trilogy was inspired by James 1:2-4.”
I saw this “message” this morning and these words came to me…
Who will believe?
Who will receive?
Do you want more?
Only I can open that door!
The time has come where hearts need to cry out to Him. He is the Key to overcoming all that this world will throw at us… but who will trust Him to walk in total faith with HIM! Only He can reveal what has been hidden but we have to seek before we will find. Do you want more? Think about it.
I just want to share with all of you a reminder that God is always with us and gives us the encouragement that we need to keep walking in faith. You see, I posted just this picture that I found with the poem by Helen Steiner Rice last night with Jeremiah 29:11, a verse that I have to hold onto every day. Then this morning, October 6, as I read my devotional, “Jesus Calling”, these words just jumped out at me…
“Be willing to follow wherever I lead. Follow me wholeheartedly with glad anticipation quickening your pace. Follow though you don’t know what is ahead. I know and that is enough. Some of My richest blessings are just around the bend: out of sight but nevertheless, very real. To receive these gifts, you must walk by faith, not by sight…”
So I add these words to my posting to give the Glory to God and a reminder to all to trust God as He leads. We never know what He has planned just “around the bend.”
