We Are Continually Praying

 

Good morning friends 🧡. 

All of us here at 4D Farms would love to tell you that we  are still praying for everyone affected by Hurrican Helene. We pray for comfort, strength in these coming days to begin to begin to heal, start over, and rebuild. We pray for resilience, perseverance, endurance and patience. This is never easy nor do we think it ever is. 

I was reading Ecclesiastes this morning and it just spoke to me. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is an occasion for everything, and a time for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot; 3 a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build; 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance; 5 a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to avoid embracing; 6 a time to search and a time to count as lost; a time to keep and a time to throw away; 7 a time to tear and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak; 8 a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace. 9 What does the worker gain from his struggles? 10 I have seen the task that God has given the children of Adam to keep them occupied. 11 He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but no one can discover the work God has done from beginning to end. 

I learned a long time ago that it was never meant to understand or "try to find out" why God does what he does. We are too just simply trust. Trust me, I know. It is the trusting part that always got me. I didn't understand why a trial would come that would just rip my heart out or the heart of a loved one. However, after the brokenness, came comfort, then acceptance,  followed by deliverance to the awesome provision. Sometimes a circumstance comes along that we have no control over. We are hurt, angry and we cry out to God wanting to know why. But we have ro remember that he sees the future and he knows what is down the road. It could be something better for our own good. Sometimes he uses circumstances to grow us. We will never understand the "why's", all we need to see is he will take us through the valley and up the mountain. He will walk right beside us and help us along the way. When we get to the top of the mountain, we will look at him and he will say, "See My Child?" 

I have experienced this many times in my life. So I don't just tell you all this for naught. I can truly tell you this out of love because I can tell you," I've been there". 

I hope you find some comfort in these words because the Lord laid it upon my heart and I wanted to share it with you today. 

Stay Tennessee and North Carolina strong my friends.
