Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
The verse hangs in my office, right next to a picture of Jesus. I glance at it several times a day, taking courage and strength from the fact that my sweet little boy is now with Jesus.
The morning Jacob passed away I sat outside alone in the dark and prayed. Prayed for comfort and peace...and strength and courage. A few hours later I log onto Facebook to update Jacob's Ladder page and the very first thing at the top of my Facebook wall was a verse that a local Christian Radio station had just posted.
Joshua 1:9: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Coincidence? I think not.
Beautiful... :)
ReplyDeleteOf course it was coincidence. You just need the proper definition.
ReplyDeleteCoincidence: a small miracle where God chooses to remain anonymous. If you don't want to see Him, you don't have to. But if you're looking, there He is.
I love this! Completely true!
DeleteI loved Judith's coincidence. What a beautiful reminder for us all that God always provides!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, do you know what Mary Anne Radmacher said about courage? It was "Courage does not always roar, sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow'" May God bless you as you walk this hard path of grief.
ReplyDeleteLove this, too!
