Good
Morning!
I
didn't get to send out an encouragement yesterday because things did not go
the way I had planned. Has that ever happened to any of you?
Well, as all of you know....."stuff happens"! 
Jesus knew this and that is why He talked to us about it in John 16:33. In
"essence", He was saying...."Hey, everything is not going
to go the way you want it to in this world...there are going to be 'flies in
the ointment' and 'thorns in the flesh' (my description of trials and
tribulations), but not to worry....don't let frustration steal your peace and
joy....I have everything under control...my grace is sufficient and
eventually you will be able to get over it and get on with your life...I
have overcome the things of this world and have made you an overcomer"!
You may
be saying....Luanne, I don't see all of that in John 16:33. Well, that
is because I have used "other" scriptures that pertain to that
message....that is how the Holy Spirit has taught me to read The Word. He
wants us to learn how to take in the "whole counsel of God"!
It gives us more understanding and insight into what He is saying to us.
Don't you love the way the Holy Spirit teaches us? He makes
everything so simple for us!
The
"related scriptures" that I referred to are~~~~Ecclesiastes 10:1 (a
"fly in the ointment" is a phrase that people use when their
plans get messed up). Now, am I the only one that has ever heard
that? Moving right along.....the other scriptures are~~~~2Corinthians
12:7 & 9 and 1John 5:4. Well, once again, the
Holy Spirit has decided what I was to say to you today! Remember,
that because of the change in my ministry schedule, I won't be sending an
encouragement on Thursday, so I will see you Friday!
Have
a Blessed Day!! (You are
an "overcomer"!)
In His Love, Luanne
