Day 4: book of the year! I really enjoyed reading this book by Gene Stratton Porter called The Keeper of the Bees published in 1925. It had an interesting story with a lesson of wisdom at the end. @susannahconway #decemberreflections2024
Day 3: Remembering! Here’s a picture of our babies Maggie and Gracie when we brought them home in 2020! These are beautiful dogs, a lot of work at times, but so worth it! @susannahconway #decemberreflections2024
Queridas Filhas Graciosas, Aqui é uma palavra para encorajar seu coração! (Habacuque 3:17-19.)
Deus é o grande EU SOU e nada é difícil demais para Ele. Embora eu possa estar passando por vales, não há flores ou frutos nas videiras, a produção de azeitonas falha, e o rebanho é cortado, sem gado nos estábulos, ainda assim eu me alegrarei no Senhor e em Sua vitória.
Ele é minha força e meu exército invencível. Ele permite que meus pés continuem andando como um cervo, e eu continuo a progredir, por esta razão posso me alegrar mesmo no vale, sabendo que Ele nos ama.
Ele me dá progresso espiritual nos lugares altos de problemas, sofrimento ou responsabilidade.
Com os rios de Deus, Ele limpou a terra, trazendo água para os lugares altos. As montanhas tremem com o transbordamento de água que está passando. Nas profundezas, uma voz está chamando, e Deus responde. Ele se mostra na terra da salvação para seus ungidos. Ele é nossa ajuda, nosso amor perfeito.
Por causa de Jesus, somos mais que vencedores, e podemos continuar nos alegrando, não importa o que estejamos passando! Deus é fiel e nos ama!
Romanos 8:37
