Luke 1:30-33
But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."
Nine years have passed since November of 2008. That was when my marriage finally fell apart. I had begun to find my way back to God. I was once again listening to KHCB - Keeping Him Close By Christian radio and reading the Holy Bible.
By March of 2009 we were separated and by September, we were legally divorced. I had also resumed a volunteer teaching position at my local church. I had been entrenched in focusing on our LORD for a year's time.
I have not stopped. HE enables me to get through each day. HE is always with me.
When things get difficult I tend to react. In the end I always refocus and trust in HIM. Time and time again, HE has delivered me out of my troubles.
Nowadays HE seems to allow me to stew a bit before providing a way out. This is intended to grow my faith and stretch my fortitude. HE does this with all of HIS children.
One of the things that GOD wants us to learn is to fully trust HIM. Another is to not doubt HIM. To know that we will dwell in HIS house for eternity.
Indeed.
