It is a wonderful, crisp fall day here on the farm. I have a fountain just outside my bedroom window, listening to the water falling is restful. When I hear it I think of the "Living waters." Jesus is my living water.
I got several responses back on yesterday's devotional, seems like grandmothers or mothers can relate to each other on wanting more for their children and grandchildren. We will just have to agree to uphold them in prayer and watch God do a wonderful work in their lives.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (Amplified Bible)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy) and the God [Who is the Source] of every comfort (consolation and encouragement),
4 Who comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction), so that we may also be able to comfort (console and encourage) those who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort (consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted (consoled and encouraged) by God.
When we go thru a trial or sickness or financial difficulties and the Lord has brought us out of that situation, we are not to keep it to ourselves, but pray and ask the Lord who is going thru what you have gone thru and then minister to that person God lays on your heart. Whether it is just praying for them, sending them a card, calling them or email them. I believe God will put someone in your mind who needs encouraged, be ready to comfort them as Jesus has comforted you.
