I am just now getting to read the RJD posts for March...I needed to read this tonight...the battle is raging on so many fronts as you say...I needed the reminder that God is WITH us! And this post reminded me in a cross reference sort of way that our battle is not against flesh and blood...I need to wait on the LORD to work through some personal angst instead of fighting in my own strength or blaming the wrong source (like other people) my enemy is not flesh and blood and God had the spiritual battle covered...I will stand firm and wait for His deliverance!

Tune them out and tune IN to God. He will guide your steps aright...and yes, He will fight this battle for you. Not saying you shouldn't heed wise counsel or Doctor's advice, but pray and seek God first and He will lead you and give you discernment. Praying for you dear friend across the sea. May God give you peace and comfort and most of all HEALING! Please stay in touch. Pamela M.

And I am so...Well, look who showed up at the party! And I am so glad you did, Pamela! What an important reminder, to see how the Lord brings us through. How we need to recall these moments when God reveals His faithfulness, His tenderness, His strength. We go up the mountain with Him, and down through the valley- we think in the valley he has abandoned us, but He never does leave us. Today I was reading in Mark and was so amazed at one line that said, Jesus was amazed at their lack of faith! And I wondered, if God has ever been amazed at my own...not so subtle lack of faith the minute I feel the boat rocking. Anyway, I am so glad that His Spirit is alive and well in you, strengthening, encouraging and guiding you into the faithfulness of our God! Hugs, from a stiff-necked Israelite....who is is being transformed by His grace! enthusiastically, dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13491170202082863992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-90657982438488831412015-03-06T19:36:31.306-05:002015-03-06T19:36:31.306-05:00Pam: This is very encouraging to me.

I need to learn to always realize that what I have to go through, God is there with me. Thank you for this special message.
