Empty InBox

This week flew by; but, I'm happy to say that my InBox is basically empty right now.   I've been able to take care of my list of all pending tasks; and it feels really good.   I'm sure my InBox will start filling up again soon; but, for today, I'm going to enjoy it.  After having gone through feelings of being overwhelmed under my pile of responsibilities, it is such a neat feeling to look back and see how God helped me handle them all.  So, for today, I can be thankful and truly relax.

2 Peter 1:3 says "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness."  I have seen and experienced personally how God, through His power, has given me all that I need for living my life for HIM; and I praise HIM!   While I may still encounter trials and challenges, I can trust in HIM to carry me through.   Amen!  

As my pastor said last week, the victorious Christian life is not that God takes away our difficulties, but that He helps us endure through them.   And, as we encounter trials, we will only be refined by the fire and our faith when it is tested is purified; so that we become more and more like HIM.
