THE FUTURE AWAITS YOU

Genesis 1:1 KJV
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Dearest Ladies,

BE ENCOURAGED!!!!! God will provide for you and your kiddos. God has been providing for His children since the beginning. God never changes. The same God that ruled and reigned 'In the beginning' is still ruling and reigning in the here and now. The same God that carefully provided for humanity 'In the beginning' is the same God that remains faithfully committed to carefully providing for His children now.

Fear and doubt may try to creep in your mind but rest assure the Lord is very capable of supplying EVERYTHING that you need. Take no concern that you do not have anything nor everything figured out; that's okay. God has you in the palm of His hand. You are far more precious to Him than the lilies of the field whom He lovingly tends. The Lord protects and provides for the itty, bitty sparrow: can you imagine how much more you mean to God. God is sympathetic to your struggle and strife. He has provided for you in times past (look back over your life). And, God will continue to provide for you.

The Lord has gone before you and your kiddos. Your future is established. Your steps are ordered. The Lord will supply your need. Maybe now you are wondering where your next meal will come. Maybe you are concerned about the payment of mounting bills. Perhaps you are wondering how you will refill your gas tank. Cry out to Jesus! The Lord God has a ram in the bush for YOU!

I was reminded that the Lord created the world and EVERYTHING in it that was necessary to sustain life before He created man. Moreover, the Lord meticulously created the wonderful Garden of Eden before He placed Adam and later Eve into it. The Lord intentionally went before Adam and Eve to establish 'their world.' He created an environment that would sustain them. Moreover, 'their world' was beautifully fascinating and bubbling over with life and activity. The Lord provided EVERYTHING that Adam and Eve would need and yet He did not have to consult them about any of His arrangements and plans. The Lord knew what they needed AND He provided it. The Lord provided EVERYTHING that Adam needed and He pronounced that EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. Only a loving Father would take diligent action to ensure that His children had everything that they needed. And, He gave them only GOOD things to fulfill that need. God is good!

In this same manner of divine provision, Christ departed our world with the intent and purpose to prepare a place for us. Our resurrected Christ promised to return to His father and to secure our Heavenly homes. Again, the Lord has gone before us to establish our eternal dwellings and to provide EVERYTHING that we will need in eternity. Our Lord is so wonderful.

I pray that you are comforted by Jesus' promise as recorded in the Gospel of John. Please read below:

John 14:1-4 KJV
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Ladies, we can trust God to provide for us. God is not a man that He should lie. The Lord has a long history of providing for us. Divorce does not change the Lord's affection and devotion to us. We serve a God that exists outside of time. The Lord is everywhere all at once. His power, love, and provision is not constrained by time. Therefore the Lord God is always many, many, many steps ahead us. He has paved our way. He has provided for EVERYTHING that we will ever need in every season and stage of our lives. May I again remind you of how awesome our God is. Consider the following verses from Psalm 50:

10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

The world belongs to God. He knows every creature in the world and He knows what every creature needs. Of all of His creation, we are esteemed the highest. The Lord will not suffer us to exist without His love and care. Look around you! Everything that you are and everything that you have is a priceless gift from God. The Lord has cared and provided for you and yours up to this point and He will NOT stop now. Give the Lord a shout of praise. Oh worship and magnify the Lord with me! Selah!

Press forward Sisters!

Hope BIG!

Believe BIG!

Let not your hearts be troubled! Believe in God! Believe in Christ! I encourage you all to have an unquestioning faith in God! The Lord has established your future! Trust Him! Follow Him! Walk boldly and courageously into the next chapter of your life. Your story gets better. Live well!!!

Love and blessings

Hugs
