There is a cute book called, "Five Minutes' Peace" by Jill Murphy that tells the story of a mother that just wants five minutes peace from her young demanding and often noisy children.
It's so right on with respect to the demands of motherhood, and I hope that all of you that are mothers have a great day tomorrow, and that you even get a rest and some peace from the day to day grind of motherhood. And for those of you that are not moms, I also hope you guys get some peace and some time to reflect on the goodness of God.
We are giving out a book to the ladies tomorrow at Calvary Chapel Space Coast that is called, Stones of Remembrance- A Rock-Hard Faith from Rock-Hard Places". It is the story of women of God that have chosen to walk in faith in the most difficult times.
What about you? Are you going through difficult times? Most of us would like a little less drama and a lot more down time. But the question is, are you walking out your faith in the hard times as well as the good times?
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God."
(Acts 14:22)
who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
(2 Corinthians 1:4)
We strengthen one another's souls by exhorting one another to walk out our faith in the midst of the hard times. Be of strong. Be of good courage. Wait on the Lord and He will strengthen your heart (Psalm 27:14). And while you're waiting, take some time to encourage a few of your brothers and sisters in Christ to walk out their faith. When the going gets tough, those grounded in Christ renew their determination to be faithful witnesses and servants of the one true God.
Yours in Him,
Pastor B.
