Encouragement

Good Morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! The bright morning star has been brilliant in its aloneness these past few mornings. Don't know where the others are...perhaps the haze is hiding them.

Due to appointments and commitments, I didn't get to walk yesterday, but did ride through the park and noticed the anhingas were sunning their wings as usual, after their underwater swims. I wonder what they do when it rains and they need to dry off? I mentioned to Terry, our friend the super., about not being able to walk to the tower because of the closing and he said he would see if they could finish the spraying and open up. Perhaps today, I will find time to walk.

From the Promise Bible:

What do I do when I feel overwhelmed?

Leviticus 26:8 "Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand! All your enemies will fall beneath the blows of your weapons."

Joshua 23:10 "Each one of you will put to flight a thousand of the enemy, for the Lord your god fights for you, just as he has promised."

Be encouraged that the power of God is for us, regardless of the number of enemies against us. God used David to overcome Goliath, Gideon's three hundred soldiers to defeat the armies of Midian, and one hundred and twenty disciples to establish the church in Acts. He joys when working through our weaknesses and limitations.

I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
