Good Morning!

Sorry about "no encouragement" yesterday...My hard drive (whatever that is!) went out on my computer Wednesday.  But, I have been blessed with a temporary set-up to use until mine is fixed, so I am "back in business"!  PRAISE THE LORD!!!

However, this was an opportunity to "practice what I preach"!  I will be very honest with you...I was not "overwhelmed with peace and joy" when I realized that I no longer had a working computer!  Then, The Lord reminded me about the "principle" that I was sharing with all of you when this happened, which brings us back to Proverbs 3: 5&6>>>>>>>

I had to..."trust in The Lord with all of my heart".
I had to..."lean not unto my own understanding".
I had to..."acknowledge Him in all of my ways".

When I did this, He directed me back to that "path" of peace (just like He said He would do)!  I went to bed that night with peace in my heart.  Even though I wasn't sure how He was going to take care of this, I just trusted Him to do it (and believe me, I had to do this even while my "natural mind" was screaming: "what are you going to do now? what are you going to do now?"

Sometimes, we just have to tell our "mind" to SHUT UP, so that we can hear what our "spirit" is saying to us.  Mark 4:15 tells us that when the sower sows the Word (which is what I was doing), then Satan comes immediately to steal that Word...I encourage you to read the 4th chapter of Mark for yourself!  I think I will talk about these scriptures next week.

Have a Blessed Weekend!!  In His Love, Luanne
