I love Facebook memories. Those reminders of things that are somewhere deep in your memory, but are brought to mind as Facebook tells you what happened on this day in a certain year of your life. Today's Facebook memory was a very special one. It was a banner day in my journey to stroke recovery. On this day in 2017, I was so blessed and thankful to be able to once again lead our Life Group Bible study. I am a blessed woman indeed!
In 2017 we were studying in the Old Testament book of Ruth. We spent a lot of our time talking about Naomi. If you haven't read it lately, take some time to read Ruth chapter 1. Naomi's story is a sad story. There was a famine. They had no food so Naomi and her family had to relocate to a foreign country. While they were living in the foreign country, her husband died. Then both her sons died. It's a really sad story.
But God made a way for Naomi. God provided exactly what Naomi needed.
Just as God has provided everything I have needed to get through the challenges I have in my post-stroke life.
Your story may not be exactly like Naomi's story. Or exactly like my story. But you have a story. Each of us has challenges and trials and difficult circumstances to deal with. We all have a story. We all have "stuff" to deal with.
God provided everything Naomi needed to deal with the challenges of her life. He has provided everything I have needed to face the challenges of my life.
And He is able to do the same for you.
Because nothing is impossible with God!
"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen"
