Divine Love: Set Apart in Faith & God's Love

Wisdom Shared:  As I reflect on today's reading in the Psalms, it bring to mind those seasons of life;s difficulties that bring tragedy ... hardship ... brokenness and sometimes dishonor to our reputation.  Truthfully there is root cause to all of life's outcomes.  We may not gain understanding immediately, however through relationship with God, the reading, study and application of God's word, it brings on illumination that leads us to restoration transformation wisdom and renewed view. Some days I wake up with a song in my heart, and a spring in my step and face the world with a positive outlook and smile on my heart.  I am thankful for those days especially when life's challenges hardships are dark and all consuming.  It brings to mind all the seasons of hardships ...  with my health, my finances, my work, my family and even emotional pain through disappointments.  I am gaining the wisdom for empowerment to keep my eyes on the one who can reveal the truths that will bring me to deliverance that leads to victory through spiritual successes.  That is the Lord, our God.  It is the power of Christ in us that brings us strength.  Beloved, regardless of current circumstance always remember the scriptures that speak life;  Do not grieve, the joy for the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10 ... Call on the Lord, and He will answer the call and reveal those truths that bring freedom and seal our faith.

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance,
