Hoping this finds my sister bloggers doing well on this windy Sunday afternoon. Yep, we've got a little wind howling around here and a tad cool but I am enjoying a lazy afternoon. My Sunday lunch crowd (my family) have left for the day so I am kicked back. Sunday menu today consisted of: Chicken and dressing Giblet gravy Italian green beans with ham Mac & Cheese Homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache. Yep, they are little spoiled at Nana's house. I am not a huge fan of cakes with icing but it must have been good as one of the grands had two slices. These gals and I have been friends for more years than I remember and since we've all retired within a few months apart in retirement and age (dating back to 4th grade in school) we try to get together once every 4-6 weeks. We always do something extra for our birthdays but was a tad late celebrating mine this year together due to other appointments that was a must. We always have a gr...
In reading Stormie Omartian's book......"Just enough light for the step I'm on" sure says a lot for us.
She says in one of her chapter's the following; Whenever we go through difficult times, we anticipate the coming moment when all the pressure is off, the worry has subsides, the healing has manifested, the sadness has lifted, and the pain is gone. We continuously look for God to take away the discomfort we are experiencing. But God wants us to know that even as we wait for those changes to happen, His light is there all the time shining into our darkness. He wants us to trust that, and open our eyes to see it.
The Bible says in Revelation 21:23; "The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is the light.
Just as we trust the light of that one candle to show us the way step by step we must trust Christ to show us the way, step by step. After all, He is our Light! And He is ENOUGH light for the step we're on regardless of how hard that next step may be.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy

ReplyDeleteGreat analogy Cindy. I don't read a whole lot but actually read that book when she first came out with it as I was going through a difficult season in my life. Your post has been a great reminder for me. Connie Royals

This is a great reminder that, although we may not be able to see God's big picture, we just need to trust him as we take one step at a time. Have a great week, my friend!

OMG! I thought power went out only, (and just sometimes) in third world countries. Anyway, we have a power motor in our building...BUT, yes God is my main light, so I don't care when it goes away and there were no power motor in the past either, but God has been there, shining to me, my family and all of us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this inspiring post.

I have been through those seasons of step by step light more than once in my life. It seems that the older I get, the more frequent they are. I love the picture you drew from the candle. You are so right, and God is so faithful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Stormie's quote today. It was perfect for a dear friend who is going through a horrific place. I've shared it with her and trust it encourages her today!
