"Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees." (1 Chronicles 14:14). When we face a trial, our first instinct is to come head on against it. However God's best will for us might not be according to our plans. Sometimes what He wants us to do is to let go, take a different route, and then arrive at a God-given solution later on. But why?

Hi Ger
ReplyDeleteHvn't read your blog in a long time but so happy to catch up with so many entries that are so God-centric, encouraging and full of love for our Father.
I thank God for a lovely SIL like you. Really.
Hi Chi!
ReplyDeleteNo worries you must be really busy. =D I am touched that you still found time to pop over to my blog. HUGS!
The entries will always be here anyway and you can take your time to read them over time. I tend to blog a lot being quite the excitable person (esp when it comes to just wanting to share all the stuff He has touched my heart with) hence my blog tends to explode. Lol.
I also thank God for SILs like Ta Chi and yourself - very grace-filled (not law-filled) & wisdom- filled women. =D In fact, I'd rather call you ladies SIGs than SILs lol.
May we all grow to see His love and His faithfulness in our lives more with each new day. =D
I see it in the new family He blessed me with , and I just rest and marvel at His goodness towards Kae and I.
