Sing and Not Be Silent

What a morning!!  I have come back from the weekly woman's Bible study with my heart full of thanksgiving - It is appropriate that today is a Thursday.  Many prayers have been answered this past week in the lives of the ladies around me.

Please understand, we have had our share of stress and sorrows recently, but God is turning our mourning into dancing and I must stop to give Him praise.  He is our Provider, our Comfort, our Way in the Wilderness and Path through the Desert. He is our Wisdom, He is our Peace.  In some cases answers have come over time, yet in others we give praise for sudden and surprising answers!

For those prayers that have yet to be answered, I claim His promises to "never leave or forsake" us.  He is working in places we cannot even see, and loves those who are dear to us with a love that is fiercer than our own.  His plan is good, and waiting is hard.  Let's keep our eyes on Him and see what He will do.

Psalm 30:12 "That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever."    Philippians 1:3 "I thank my God in all my remembrance of you..."

...thanking God for many answered prayers and eager to see what He has for us in coming days and months.
