I am posting this NOT to bring glory to myself, but to bring glory to God. I have been listening to a sermon this week by Walter Martin entitled "The Foolishness of God." My work looks foolish to the world, and, as souls are getting saved, the enemy often sends insults and times of hurt. Yet, the Lord is faithful to raise up prayer warriors and true friends who encourage me in HIS Truth and righteousness. It is such a glorious battle to be fighting. We will always, always have strength for VICTORY in Jesus no matter what He allows to come our way in testing and trials and demonic attacks. He never allows more than we can handle in His strength. He is a mighty warrior on my behalf. Years ago I memorized Psalm 26. What protection that chapter has brought to my life as I walk in God's high standard for me. In Christ alone is my hope and my shield. He is faithful to raise me up as I humble myself before Him in obedience. Satan does not have one thing to offer me!
Dear Dwayna,
I PRAISE God for your example. You truly shine God's glory in the darkness. Your Father in heaven is pouring out His spiritual blessings on you because you obey His commandments and you love others in Truth leading them to salvation through the knowledge of our precious Savior Jesus Christ...Dwayna, you are such a blessing and I'm sure a constant delight to the Lord.
In Christ Alone,
****
