First Iris 2024
by Laurie Pace
Looking out my bedroom window is a beautiful bed of Iris. They only peek out and bloom March, April and early May. My peonies are blooming too. These flowers are my vision when things begin to fail around me, or evil seems to arise.
In your life now and before, there are likely things you did not like that you had to deal with no matter what. Over the years you learn resilience from these times and often that came at a price of knocking your head a few times, the hard way.
Today we all have to learn to endure in faith like NEVER BEFORE. What the enemy meant for evil, God can turn it around for our own good. We must trust in the Lord.
Romans 8:28 ..."Or that all things work together for good to those who love God, who; or that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good for those who have been called to his purpose"
Pray for my family right now. We have need for your prayers and your love. The past four months following my mother's death has brought challenges I never thought I would experience in my lifetime. There are nights we sleep well, and there are nights we are up praying and pacing the floor. Terry and I are walking in our faith and in His promises to us. At times I am sobbing but praising Him, and thanking Him for His mercy and forgiveness and for His light to find our way.
"But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them." Genesis 50:19-21
Lord I pray this night for your grace and strength to fill us all with what we need to battle this. Be with all of those that read these words, know that we pray for you who are in need at this time as well. We are not afraid. The Lord walks with us and before us.
