God does not promise us a life without suffering, but He does promise to go through it with us.
Bible
Mary of Bethany: She Learned to Wait
What do you suppose was on her mind while she waited? Perhaps she was thinking of Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Teach Me to Wait ~ Psalm 25
Waiting on the Lord means that I acknowledge His perfect timing in the matters that pertain to me.
Lydia’s Bed and Breakfast
I can easily imagine her saying, “I won’t take ‘no’ for answer. Come on in. I have fresh hot bread just coming out of the oven, and the beds have already been made.”
It’s All His ~ Psalm 24
The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Miriam ~ A Woman of Influence
Miriam is a great example of how God can use women of all ages and stations in life, how He will hold us accountable for what we do with the responsibility He has given us, and how He will show mercy and restore us when we make a mistake.
I Shall Not Want ~ Psalm 23
No more ‘buts.’ Just follow Me. I am the Good Shepherd. I am your Shepherd, and you are my lamb. The lamb knows only to follow the Shepherd. Everything else is My responsibility.
Jochebed ~ A Mother Who Trusted God
Not a single word this woman ever spoke is recorded in the Bible, but the effects of her words and actions reverberate throughout the pages of Scripture and the years of history.
Rhoda and the Rose
The name Rhoda means “rose,” but she is not the only rose mentioned in the Bible.
Look and Live
“God made the way. If you will just believe, Then look, dear friend, your healing to receive.”
