I thought I would share with you something that happened today that truly reminded Casey & I of God’s faithfulness. Today Casey & I were down at the beach reading our Bibles when Casey said he wanted to read a scripture to me. So he read me 1 Peter 3:8-16 were it says:
“Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. For “He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness sake, you are blessed. And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you with meekness and fear....”
Just as Casey finished reading this a young guy came up to us and asked if he could sit and listen to the word of God with us. So Casey read again this scripture and continued. We got talking with him and his name is Fred and he is a Christian. He said he felt God wanted him to encourage us and he gave us the scripture Philippians 1:6 which says:
“being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
He then encouraged us that he felt God wants to give us encouragement and confirmation in what He is called us to do and that He will accomplish it. God knows the perfect time to encourage when we may feel discouraged & reminds us again that He will never leave us or forsake us.
