A powerful message was shared in yesterday’s ‘Streams in the Desert’. I have been reading these devotions for years now and every now and again l come across a real gem đ this is one of them. Enjoy!! đ
April 15th đ Streams in the Desert đ
Be sure to start your day encouraged with an encouraging devotion, doing this truly helped me during some of the most difficult parts of my journey.
Thank you for sharing!!! I hate trials hahaha, but I am starting to love thema and accept them as challenges hilding His Hands!!!
Hahaha I didnt either, I remember there was a time in my life I feared trials and just the thought of any trial would scare me so much. Now any type of trial or difficulty that comes up against me I get excited knowing that His got it and that it’s going to be ok and work out for GOOD!! All I need to do is speak to Him about it. So simple !!
Not only does my Husband want me to tolerate or accept trials and crisesâHe’s training me to LAUGH through them, and it’s been WONDERFUL!!
https://loveatlast.org/living-lessons/week-66-laugh-it-off/ was published in June 2021 (in the midst of covid lockdown), and He’s brought me a long way.
Just this morning, I ran into one trial after the next and next and next when trying to pay one of our LMFs. On Saturday, when all the “fun” began, we were victims of digital fraud. So things were locked and frozen and all sorts of things have made it challenging but oh so much FUN!!
Compare me NOW to back when everything “financial” would stress me out because I hated it so much. But since HE’s in control and is reinforcing the truth that each of these journeys is designed to change us, bring us closer to Him, and also reconstruct what we’re doing now to what is better: easier, more benefits, probably safer, etc. etc.
So this morning, it wasn’t until I began LAUGHING that I had an unusual breakthrough that just may lead to a financial payment path I’ve asked Him about. Time will tell and another change, I am not in a hurry to get to the destinationâI’m loving this particular financial journey because I enjoy laughing with Him!! “He sits in the heavens and laughs”
Oh my word yes thank you for sharing Erin. I’m going to remember to start laughing whenever I face trials especially when it’s one after the other because those can be really frustrating but then I will KNOW it’s especially those that I can laugh with HIM about!! I went to go read the lesson again because it was so long ago that I read it and how true because the enemy tries to make me feel horrible about all sort of things… a good reminder to laugh off those uncomfortable sick feelings!!
Thank you for sharing Atarah, yes I also dreaded trails, and financial trails also like Ering said. But the more I am growing in Him, I can understand that He is working with a plan and I can get excited to see what He is going to do through the trail. Thank you Erin for the reminder to just laugh it off!
