Friday...February 01, 2019

Hello everyone… “Happy Friday”…and a big welcome today, to “A New Day of New Hope Blog”…through the Risen Hope Ministries! I am so glad that you stopped by today…and my prayer for you; is that your day would be truly blessed and filled, with the presence of a loving and caring God!
 
Well…we made it to the end of another week…and all I can say today; is “PRAISE GOD!” Wow…what a weak! I’ll tell you; I am so glad that I have a powerful God watching over me each day; because this past week was a humdinger of a week!
 
I don’t know about you; but the more I see God at work in my life…the greater my love grows for Him. You know…these days, it’s not always easy to find someone that you can trust…someone who will love you through the hard times…and for real, like God!
 
As I was sitting here today…thinking on all that God has brought me through this week…I was also thinking on what it would be like, to not have Him with me every day. To me…it would seem as if I’m walking down a dark pathway, with no light to show me the obstacles that may be lying in the path before me. Also, just think on what it would be like, to fall over one of those obstacles and never have anyone around, to help you back up to your feet.
 
This week, I experienced a moment, when I was encouraging someone on a social network…whom I truly thought was for real; but after a few days, this person began to change into another person that I didn’t even recognize. Before sitting down to write later that day…my feelings became even more real, as though it could have been a set up by Satan. It wasn’t too much longer after that, when God began to step in and take control…and boy did He ever take control…for within minutes this person was gone, along with their account.  
 
Today…I’m thanking God with all my heart; that He is watching over me and everything that concerns me. I know 100%...that I could never make it through these trying moments without Him…and even more, I wouldn’t be able to see down that path, as He does…for sometimes, I can barely see what’s before me.
 
Let’s face it…we all need Jesus…and especially the light of His presence; to brighten a path that can hold hidden dangers and snares…set up by Satan. Life may not always be easy…and we may be struggling, just to walk through this life here on earth; but one thing I truly know; when His light is opening up the pathway before us; then even the most difficult day, will seem much easier because of Jesus.
 
You know…even though this has been a different kind of week…it has ended well…and again; that is only because of the best friend I could ever have…Jesus Christ! Always remember each day, to start your day with Him…and when you do; He will be there, to also lighten the load and help you to see the hidden things that could bring you down into darkness.
 
Well…it’s been another great week with you…and I truly hope and pray that you will have a great Friday…and a great weekend! For those of you, who are caught in the drastic cold…please take care and my prayer; is that you will come through this time, with God’s help! Take care…and I will hope to be back with you on Monday morning! God bless!
It’s Always & Only Because of Him…
Diane
