It is harder then to trust that God will be with us. I am thankful that He is a rescuer and His grace is constant.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03184372899826073461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-65685257340068731562009-11-05T11:07:49.915-05:002009-11-05T11:07:49.915-05:00Yes, thanks for this welcome reminder of the everl...Yes, thanks for this welcome reminder of the everlasting arms that hold us up when our burdens get heavy. In the past 3 weeks the burdens of others that I have been called to pray for were almost crushing--from a friend's parent being killed in an accident to a new born baby having to go to emergency 3 times, to another friend's grandson succumbing to suicide while in jail...and many more...if it were not for the hiding place that God provides for us in the comfort of those everlasting arms. It always helps me to remember that God is Sovereign, and there is nothing that happens without first being sifted through His fingers. While so often cannot see His hand at work, we can trust His heart that He is working out all things for His purposes and our ultimate good. May you feel His comfort today, friend.Jacquelyn Stagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051731884653793193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-28237970959706324882009-11-04T08:10:29.750-05:002009-11-04T08:10:29.750-05:00"Fear" used to be my middle name.
