Manna for the day

Psalm 62:8 (NLT)
O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.

This was the verse of the day when I reached office and flipped to the daily psalm calendar on my table.

I cannot tell you how much it means to me when the Lord provide the right manna for me when I need it most, more so when it is provided to build up the immune system. When my accountability group last gathered to pray for each other and I received what was prayed over me, I never imagined that the change of my life's season prophesied would effect me that much. Yet, for every thing that transpires this season, God graciously gives me enough encouragement to pull through life's moments. 

I must say that in every winter season of life, there is much discomfort when I trudge through the issues and still go on with life as normal. Some days are normal, however, the horrid days are truly crippling. Without the  grace that comes to protect and intimate ways that He encourages to compensate for the discouragement and emotional lows, I cannot imagine the state I'll be on the busy weekends that I've ministry.

My God my refuge.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound. That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see. (Amazing grace by John Newton, 1779)
