Giving Thanks in All Things

ByJody Lee Collins
 
“Believe He is faithful, not because you feel it, or see it,
but because He says He is.
Believe it, whether you feel it or not.
Believe it, even when it seems to you that you are
believing something that is absolutely untrue.
Believe it actively.
Believe it persistently.
Cultivate a continuous habit of believing and
never let your faith waver for any “seeming”, however plausible it may be.”
Hannah Whitall Smith,
The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life
Philippians 4:12 “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation….”
Leaning like a tree on his grace for the future.
It’s been an interesting week……..I can’t wait to see what God’s up to.
