Ponder this...

In the face of great adversity, Caleb had complete faith that Israel would overcome the giants that dwelled in the land that God had promised them.  He believed that somehow, God would keep His promise to deliver them into the land, despite the impossible situation that stood in front of them.

Are you tempted to leave it all behind
- to throw in the towel?

Can you find a way to make God your joy,
& wait for His reward?

Do you give God the glory, honor, and praise
for any success that comes your way?

Does your appearance reflect the transformation
that Christ has done in your heart?

Do you ever feel that your gifts or your efforts 
are just too small to make a difference? 

Have you ever given them to God 
completely and asked Him to bless them?

Meghan & I were just so blessed by the great response that we received here yesterday during our iFellowship event!  We talked it over and decided that because of its success, my normal Wednesday post should move to Thursday afternoons.  We really want everyone to have plenty of time to "iFellowship" throughout the entire day!!!

So, with all of the fun new changes going on around here lately, I decided to shake things up a bit myself.  Every Thursday afternoon, I plan to post something here for you to ponder.  It may be a scripture, a picture, a song or even a random question or two.

The word PONDER is defined this way, "to consider something deeply and thoroughly; to meditate."  

If you will, ponder this with me for a moment...

Blessings to you,

The Lord God spoke truth into her life during this encounter and she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that He was able to truly see who she was, and what she was going through.

How about you?  Do you believe that God sees you and knows you today?

I must admit that I have had days in my life that I just wasn't sure that God really understood what I was going through.  I mean, how could He possibly know what I was going through being a full-time Mom?  Did He have dirty laundry up to His eyeballs and hungry people constantly asking Him, "Hey, what's for dinner?"  I don't think so!  He couldn't possible relate.  right?

This idea couldn't be farther from the truth.  We only have to look at the life of Hagar to realize that He DOES know who we are as women.  If He can see into the life of a dejected maidservant, surely He can see into mine.  If He can cut through her circumstances with just a few words, surely He can speak into mine.  Through prayer, study of His Word, and fellowship with other believers, I have experienced a God who sees me and knows me better than I know myself.

Have you?

I'd love to know how you would answer that question. 

Also, if you're ever in need of prayer, our team is here for you!  Just leave us a comment on any of our posts and let us know.  We care deeply about our readers and really want to connect with you.
