I was reading Oswald Chambers this morning before work and he had an amazing quote in today's reading.. it said living in faith is not mounting up on wings, but of walking and not fainting.
These days I am praying and trying my hardest to walk and not faint. Things can look so dreary with the economy getting worse and worse, people losing their jobs and not being able to pay their bills. Corey and I are just now starting to experience what other people have been experiencing for a while now. Our cash stash is getting smaller and smaller and we're really having to tighten our belts where spending is concerned. I'm working less and less and I've been starting to get depressed about it. Then this morning, I felt like the Lord really spoke to me and reminded me in his love that living a life with Him was never promised to be easy and wouldn't necessarily always be full of success by the world's standards, but He has promised to sustain me and keep me walking.. and keep me from fainting. What an amazing promise that he will keep me close to Him and hold me up when I'm tired and feel discouraged. Thank you Father for your mercy in my life.
