weakness

We are living in perilous times. A pandemic. There is war. Life is not exactly the way it ‘used to be,’ but it isn’t different from what it has been. There has been famine, terrorism, hurricanes and earthquakes throughout history. It’s been a hundred years since the Spanish Influenza. So some may think all this has never happened before. It has. Now it’s just wrapped up in a whole lot of politics. The reasons I’m not worried: God.💞 You can be in the lion’s den, in the face of an earthquake or stuck in Afghanistan! God will not forsake you. As a matter of fact, he will give you a plan. He will help you. He may show you the way to escape or what steps to take to ensure your safety. We know that things don’t always work out that way. But the universe never promised to make sense. We have to keep on movin,’ have faith, and never give up! God will be there in your darkest hour. Actually, he makes us strong in our weakness.💕💘💝

It’s true. As a matter of fact, God’s presence should be more evident when life is hard. In our weakness, we are made strong. The closest I’ve ever felt to the Lord has been when times were tough, when it seemed there was no way out, no hope, and like I shouldn’t have faith, I heard God’s whispers in those days the most. As a child, I would go on bike rides nightly. I liked to experience the peace and be outside. I’d ride up and down our street until the sun went down. I vividly remember the Lord telling me, ‘This road will not be easy, Zina, but I will never leave you nor forsake you. In the end, you will be with me!’ It is in the ‘difficult’ times that I have thrived.💙🤍
