What Would Have Happened?

What would have become of me had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living. Wait and hope for and expect the Lord: be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes wait for and hope for and expect the Lord. Amp. Psalms 27x13,14

This version speaks to me. What would have become of me indeed? I cast my mind back over the many things I have endured over the years and praise God I am still here, waiting, expectantly!

Had I not believed I would be somewhere else, somewhere not so good. I continually have to pull my mind into order and praise God for the answers which are indeed on the way. Today I had a revelation of the unchanging love of God. I grew up with an emotional amd changeable father. Today I reminded myself that my God indeed has continual favour to give me.

This afternoon I took my mum to visit my dad's grave and on the way home I took a diversion and travelled through some beautiful countryside, made all the better for good rain this morning. I do live in a beautiful place and I am grateful! Thank You Lord!

Endurance has been a hallmark of my calling. Many years ago the Lord gave me a scripture out of Hebrews: so you have need of endurance, so that you might prove the will of the father and receive what has been promised. 10:36.
