My Journey Through The Dark Valley – Day 2

Day 2     5:15 a.m.

O God, It hurts!

I need Your hedge of protection, Lord.

Keep me.

Shield me from Satan’s whispers.

Be my defender.

Thank You for Your mercy and grace.

Thank You for caring for Olin.

You were there – even if he couldn’t grasp it.

You were there.

You know his heart.

With all he faced, growing up alone, he would pray, and You heard his prayers.

My life has changed – leaving Missouri – living with the Covid restrictions – watching as the world fall spart – nothing compares to this.

Lord, show me how to live without him.

God is faithful, by whom you were called unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

I Corinthians 1:9 KJV

God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. 

NIV

God, who got you started in this spiritual adventure, shares with us the life of His Son and our Master Jesus. Never forget that.  

The Message

O God, You never gave up on Olin.

How he felt never impacted Your truth.

YOU WERE THERE.

The nature of spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty, consequently we do not make our nests anywhere. Common sense says – “Well, supposing I were in that condition . . .”

We cannot suppose ourselves in any condition we have never been in.

Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life: gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth.

“Believe also in Me,” Jesus said, not – “Believe certain things about Me.”

Leave the whole thing to Him, it is gloriously uncertain how He will come in, but HE WILL COME.

Oswald Chambers – My Utmost for His Highest

You are the Rock on which I stand.

Praise God!

My Song For The Day

Standing on the promises of Christ my King

Through eternal ages let His praises ring

Glory in the highest I will shout and sing

Standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises that cannot fail

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail

By the living Word of God I shall prevail

Standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword

Standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises I cannot fall

Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call

Resting in my Savior as my all in all

Standing on the promises of God

O God, You are faithful. Your Word is true.

I am standing on Your promises.
