Keep The Faith!

The other day while driving home from my walk on the beach, I realized the loner car I was driving did not have current insurance papers in the glove compartment. I was taking the back roads home and low and behold a road block was set up to check for no less than, current insurance and license. What a coincidence that the same time I realized I didn't have current papers, there was a road block. Yikes!

Well the officer asked for license and insurance papers as thought. I said yes sir and reach for my purse and gave him my license all while saying a prayer of "Lord I need some help here." When I handed him my license I mentioned that it was a loner car I was driving and it was not mine. He immediately said don't worry about the other papers then, I know what it is like to drive someone else's car and said to go on. I said a huge thank you and he further encouraged me not to come back that way as they were going to be there a while. I said yes sir and thanked him once again as I drove away!

That simple experience reminded me that God is always with us! Always! Even in little things that would seemingly trip us up. It encouraged me, because there are some bigger issues I have been praying for that I have not had answers to yet, and I was beginning to doubt. After this seemingly simple, yet profound reminder however, I was encouraged to keep believing and trusting God that even when it looks impossible and there is no way out, not to give up believing! If God cares enough about me to help with the little things, I can be assured he is in working all things to our good, even when we don't see it or understand. Faith, the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.

Are you in that valley and needing some encouragement? I pray God shows himself to you today and reminds you that he does care and loves you right where you are, and that you can trust him!
Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Keep the faith!

Psalm 40:3 "He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him."
