Part 4 – What’s The Holdup? Rivers Know This.

Rivers know this: there is no hurry.
We shall get there some day.

Psalm 40: When You’re in the Pit

The late Supreme Court Justice, Louis Brandeis, said to his frustrated, impatient daughter, “My dear, if you would only recognize that life is hard, things would be so much easier for you.” (Source unknown.)

Jesus told the disciples to expect trials. He begins John 16 by stating (16:1, 2), “These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling. They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.” He ends that chapter in a similar vein (16:33), “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

Yet in spite of these words and many other similar Scriptures (John 15:18; Acts 14:22; 1 Thess. 3:3-4; 2 Tim. 3:12), many that profess to know Christ stumble and fall away when they get hit with various trials. If you’re going to persevere with Christ, you must know in advance that you will face times when you are in the pit, and you must know what to do when you’re there. Rather than turning away from the Lord, you must learn to turn to Him to rescue you from life’s pits…              —Steven J. Cole

I am a passionate follower of Jesus Christ, with an equally passionate belief that every woman who chooses to follow Jesus, has been destined for greatness in His Kingdom. He chose YOU to change the world and you have everything you need IN HIM to do it!

Hi! I’m Molly…

And I want you to know you haven’t come to this page by chance. I have asked God to bring you here. I have asked God to give you everything you need most…

And yes, I have asked Him to give you HOPE as you search for your own unique PURPOSE.

LORD, right now, will You wrap your arms around the precious one who is reading this. Will you breathe fresh hope into their heart, and bring fresh strength to their life. Please teach them Jesus… just HOW MUCH You love them!

In Jesus Name I ask this, amen.

GOD LOVES YOU!

He does, you know….  LOVE YOU!

And, I’ll tell you something else that might surprise you… He wants you to know Him and find the purpose that He has planned for your life.

Thank you for coming to my blog. God bless you!

“I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking to me about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!”

Isaiah 65:24 TLB
