Good evening,

Due to illness I had to wait to write to you. I hope you are well in body, mind and spirit today. My mind is a bit foggy with this head cold, but am better. Thank you for praying for me.

Even in sickness we can praise the Lord for seeing us can't we? When I feel the worst I do know that I can always go to my heavenly Father for comfort and assurance this trial won't last forever.

Psalm 107:31 says, "Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness to the children of men." Amen.

I love how my hope and confidence is in the only One who can save me. I just want to express praise to Him tonight through the Psalms. As we gather before Him we can lift up our voices. Psalm 108:3-5 says, "I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto You among the nations.  For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great and high as the heavens! Your truth and faithfulness reach to the skies!  Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth."  Praise You Lord!

Thank you Father for Your goodness toward us. Although we are weak and can't see past the end of our noses most of the time, we place our trust in You. Teach us Your ways Lord and help us walk in Truth tonight. Psalm 119:35 says, "Make me go in the path of Your commandments, for in them do I delight."

Psalm 119:134 says, "Establish my steps and direct them by [means of] Your word; let not any iniquity have dominion over me."  Psalm 125:1 says, "Those Who trust in, lean on, and confidently hope in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides and stands fast forever."  Let's praise the Lord!

There is nowhere that you or I can go that we can not find the Lord. If our path leads through the valley of the shadow of death He is still our Great Shepherd leading us. I am thankful that even in these dark days of winter nothing is hidden from Him. He will perfect the things that concern you and I today. Reading the Psalms gives us wings to fly above the circumstances, any of them!  Yes, I am still sneezing, coughing and feel yucky, but I know without a doubt He is able to deliver me. 

We will look to Him and see His goodness! Do you agree? Well, I need to go for now, but just wanted to stay in touch with you and encourage you in whatever trial you may be going through. Give it to Jesus and tell Him all that is in your heart. Speak His name in the face of trouble. Lift up Praise and the enemy has to flee! In the name of Jesus Christ I surrender to His will. Amen.

Abundance is...we will stand in His goodness!
