"BAMS" of Life

Have you had a "bam" (trial) occur in your life recently.....i.e. a devesting illness of a spouse, a child, a loved one or even yourself; a financial loss; a loss of employment and relocation of residence? When any of these happen it is like "bam".

God allows these "bams" to show us His faithfulness: "Faithful is He that
calleth you Who also will do it" I Thess. 5:24; His strength: Phil. 4:13 "I
can do all things through Christ that strengthens me;" His power and grace:
2 Cor. 12:9 "...He has said to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for my
power is perfected in weakness"; His help and comfort,: Ps. 86:15
...Because Thou O Lord has helped me and comforted me.

God desires that we draw very close to Him through the reading of His Word
and obedience to it during these difficult "bams".

Whatever the "bam" you are going through today....as I Peter 5:7 "Casting
all your cares (anxieties) on Him for He cares for you." And He reassures us
in Heb. 13:5
".....I will never leave (desert) you nor will I ever forsake you.


All Things Work Together

"We know that all things work together,"
For them that love Him--trust Him--pray

"All things, --the smallest and the greatest--
The plainest threads--
The dullest patches--
Complete the pattern He has planned--
We know, not now--but
then--hereafter--
We shall perceive and
understand.
