Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD (Psalm 31:24 KJV).
We are all on a journey. Taking that next step takes courage. It isn’t easy to leave the normal ruts to blaze an uncharted path. Have courage and take that next step toward your goals.

Have you ever questioned if the Lord’s able to supply your need? Wonder if He understands how you feel in your present circumstance? If He’s forgotten you? Capable to see you through?
If so, you’re not alone.
The writer of Thessalonians tells us the One Who called us is Faithful.
Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:24
I recently had a candid conversation with my daughter while driving. The song I’m sharing below was playing, and I said, “I never question if He’s able. I wonder if He will.”
My daughter glanced my way and replied. “And if He won’t, then tell me why, and I’ll go on about my business.”
I hope that made you laugh. It did me. She wasn’t being disrespectful, but honestly sharing her struggles. It was a rare moment. I think it even surprised her. LOL It also revealed how we differ in our thought patterns. Even as a child, she was fine as long as you told her why not.
I, on the other hand, have often asked why but never why not. Why? Because I’m too busy wondering if He will. And guess what? He did.
Ah! Remembering gives us hope.
All we have to do is look back. Like the song says, “Looking back…”
Look back, take inventory, and give thanks for the blessings.
Back to my daughter. She knows we don’t always get to know why. That’s life. And life isn’t about the why. It’s about faith. But she has to ask. That’s my Lulu.
Hope your summer is going well. If you’re like me, you are busy with chores. Enjoy the song. Take care! Blessings.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
He arose a victor from the dark domain.

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles (1 Corinthians 15: 1-7 KJV).
Hallelujah! Christ Arose!
