times have been sooo hard for Britt and I lately, and I always seem to want to throw a fit, stomp, cry and give up! (By the way, I've always taught my children one important thing..."NEVER give up!:) Lol.. Tonight after I had a good cry and a good fit throwin, I then decided to pick up God's Word and see what He had to say about our situation....:) Little backwards, isn't it? He brought me right to this passage:
"Be careful to obey all the commands I am giving you today. Then you will live and multiply, and you will enter and occupy the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors. Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would really obey his commandments. Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to your and your ancestors. He did this to teach you that people need more than bread for their life; real life comes by feeding on every word of the Lord. For all these forty years your clothes didn't wear out, and your feet didn't blister or swell. So you should realize that just as a parent disciplines a child, the Lord your God disciplines you to help you."
"So obey the commands of the Lord your God by walking in his ways and fearing him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land of flowing streams and pools of water, with springs that gush forth in the valleys and hills. It is a land of wheat and barley, of grapevines, fig trees, pomegranates, olives, and honey. It is a land where food is plentiful and nothing is lacking. It is a land where iron is as common as stone, and copper is abundant in the hills. When you have eaten your fill, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you."
Deut 8:1-10
Eventhough times are difficult for us right now, I am reminded that God will always keep His promise as long as we obey his commandments and walk in His ways. I have to cling to faith right now, that God will see us though!
Love ya'll! Walk Close to God, even in the hard times!
