Good morning ladies! Let's look at Exodus 2:23-25.
During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to GOD. GOD heard their groaning and HE remembered HIS covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. SO GOD LOOKED ON THE ISRAELITES AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THEM.
I have to tell you that I LOVE THAT! GOD looks down at our lives from HIS THRONE in glory and HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT US. That is a source of tremendous encouragement to my heart this morning. Ma'am, are you feeling more than a little bit overwhelmed today? Does it seem as if things have been so hard for so long that surely GOD must have forgotten your name? Have you come to the place where you feel like to cannot possibly rise to the occasion one more time? If so, that is great! Why? Because when we are weak and unable to go on GOD IS STRONG AND WILLING TO CARRY US. HE told Paul in 1 Corinthians 12...MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT, MY STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.
Will you take HIM at HIS WORD today? Will you CHOOSE to trust that what you are facing right now IS NOT BIGGER THAN THE GOD WHO CREATED YOU? Will you make a choice today to accept the pain on the path HE has allowed you to travel, and ask HIM to use it to make YOU what HE longs for you to be?
I believe with all of my heart that GOD NEVER WASTES AN EXPERIENCE. HE doesn't enjoy watching us struggle, just like we as parents don't enjoy watching our children struggle, but HE will allow it so that we can learn the greater good of KNOWING HIM INTIMATELY. In my life time I have had some struggles. I have walked some difficult paths, but I believe it is because of those paths that GOD has allowed me to KNOW HIM and to LOVE HIM. I am not sure that had I not walked down some dark lonely roads that I would KNOW & LOVE HIM today. There is NOTHING like the joy of KNOWING JESUS; and so for that reason, I would not trade the times of sorrow because that would mean trading in my relationship with HIM. THERE IS NO COMPARISON.
Sometimes though, when we are in the midst of the struggle, when it seems that the darkness has lasted for such a long time that we may be tempted to say, "Forget it! I don't want this anymore!" Ma'am, if you find yourself in that place today can I direct your heart back to verse 25 of Exodus chapter 2: SO GOD LOOKED DOWN ON THE ISRAELITES AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THEM. And today, HE is concerned about YOU! I know many of you personally, and because of that, I know many of your struggles and my heart breaks for you, BUT that only causes me to lift you to HIS THRONE because with all of my heart I know that when GOD allows us to be placed into the fire HE IS REFINING OUR LIVES AND MAKING US MORE LIKE HIS DEAR SON!!!

FATHER, may we realize that our difficulties and our struggles truly are light and temporary, EVEN WHEN THEY FEEL HEAVY AND ETERNALLY WEARING ON OUR HEARTS. Thank you so much for YOUR WORD. Thank you for the promises in YOUR WORD. Thank you for the way YOU have always dealt with YOUR PEOPLE and for giving us a record of that. Thank you that we can come to YOUR WORD and you will speak it into our hearts and YOU WILL encourage us and fill us with the wonder of WHO YOU ARE. It is overwhelming to consider the love that YOU have for us. It is just as overwhelming to consider that you will allow us to suffer in order to bring us to a deeper realization of WHO YOU ARE...Thank you for loving me with a love that would allow me to hurt in order to bring me to close fellowship with YOU. YOU ARE SUCH AN AWESOME GOD!!! I love you. I am thankful for YOUR watch care over my life. Thank you for watching over each of the ladies in this ministry. Thank you that NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR YOU. It is in the MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS that I pray! AMEN

Ladies, be encouraged today! YOUR FATHER is not missing one detail. HE catches every tear as it rolls down your cheek and drips from your chin, and HE IS SAVING THEM. HE loves YOU! HE has a plan for your life. TRUST HIM TODAY WITH YOUR HEART!

STANDING IN AWE OF HIM-
Vicky
