Confidence

Good afternoon, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! The Lord has already given us this day and it is extremely warm!! We haven't had any rain in about a week, but the grass is still growing and the toadstools are popping up in the yard. There was a very peculiar one I noticed yesterday in the front yard...very large and orangeish brown on top with a yellow stem. Apparently the squirrels

Find it tasty, because half of it was gone with a squirrel nearby, flicking his tail!

David came to mow the yard this morning, so with one thing and another,I couldn't find time to sit down and type, but wanted to pass this on from the Promise Bible NLT:

Where do we find confidence for every day?

Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation-so why should I be afraid? The Lord protects me from danger-so why should I tremble?

Psalm 121:8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.

John 16:33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.

Many of the greatest athletes say that their real contest is a mental, not a physical one. It's the same way in our spiritual life. Our confidence comes not from looking around at our physical circumstances, but from looking to God

Continued tomorrow...

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

Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
