I know it may sound small, however I was thinking in life it is the SAME EXACT THING.. Think about it.  No matter what stage of life we are in there are hills and bumps and sometimes we cannot see over them.  Actually most of the time we don't see what is over that hill or mountain.  HOw often do we freak out or become scared and frightened. 

Recently in my life there have been things that are very difficult hills and obstacles i cannot see over at all.  I have to trust that the Lord is going to get me over that hill in HIs timing.  it may not be the way I want or think it should be but the Lord knows and I sit in the palm of his hand.  SO often we have these conversations about the Lord bringing us through difficulty.  Then we start living and walking and breathing again.  Something bad happens or something we presume to be a bad thing and we immediately forget what He has truly done for us. 

When things come... Remember how he lifted you up from the miry clay, how he got you over the hill last time.  Don't you think he will do it again and again and again? 

He will...

Just because we cannot see what is in front of us or way ahead.  Still trust in the Lord will all your heart , lean not upon your own understanding... in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3: 5-6

On another note... I have been thinking how it is one thing to wallow in our own stench of sin and self pity.  it can be easy to do so and become stuck there.  IT is another thing to put yourself completely under the Lords care and let Him walk you though the valley and wilderness.  If you are going thought it let him carry you and walk with you.  But don't in wallow.You are not alone  He will take care of you.  He will it is a fact. Cast all your care upon the Lord for he cares for you.  HE cares about the birds of the field and the smallest sparrow.  What more does he care for you?

I will conclude all of this with a few more thoughts.  There is always a light at the end of this tunnel.  My life verse is:

For I know that in all things God works together for Good to those that Love him and are called according to HIs purpose... Romans 8:28

Be encouraged today!  The Lord loves you , and you are truly a precious jewel in HIs sight.  Nothing is too big for God HE HAS THIS!!!
