Our Lord asks when the Son of Man comes, will He find any faith on earth?
He will find plenty of work, a great deal of earnestness, and many consecrated hearts,
but will He find faith?
Faith lifts and expands the heart above and beyond all that senses fear.
It is delight in the friendship of God and confidence in His protection which makes everything acceptable
and to be received with good grace.
Faith also produces a kind of detachment which enables us to handle any situation and every kind of person.
The soul with its living faith in God,
always sees Him acting behind happenings which bewilder our senses.
Our senses cry, stricken with terror,
now you are lost and there is no hope of rescue.
Faith instantly replies
"Hold fast, go forward, fear nothing." -Abandonment to Divine Providence
Lord help us to willingly receive instruction.
Learn what we can handle and what we can't handle.
Let us know what You want us to handle today.

Remember life's difficulties and troubles are not meant to stop your progress,
but to increase your speed.
You must call new forces, new powers into action.
Whatever it is must be surmounted, overcome.
Remember this.
Do not let a difficulty conquer you.
You must conquer it.
My strength will be there awaiting you.
Bring all your thought, all your power, into action.
Nothing is too small to be faced and overcome.
To push small difficulties aside is to be preparing big troubles.
Rise to conquer.
There can be no failure with Me.
"Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling,
and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with His exceeding joy." -God Calling
MARRIAGE
Being a good servant is listening to the needs of your spouse.
Lord help us to ask how we can best serve our spouse's needs,
give us patience and discernment.
"They look well to the ways of their household and don't eat of the bread of idleness. Prov. 31:27
The wife and mother often sets the tone in the home.
But both spouses are responsible for this!
The 'tone' God wants us to set is one of joy, optimism, and a delight in the Lord and our family.
Most assuredly we can smile at the future. Prov. 31:25
If your family was called to describe you,
what would they say?
Would they report that you are a godly person who loves life and the Lord?
Or would they report that you are an unhappy, complaining, bitter person?
Thank You, Lord that You are our hope for joy!
