Let’s Journey Together and spend a Moment with Father.

I’m Linda Goldfarb, and I want to encourage and inspire your walk with the Lord. For more encouragement, please visit LindaGoldfarb.com. I’m so glad you’re here.

Do not lose hope, my brothers and sisters.

Look to the horizon and witness the light—it is the mercy and grace of God All Mighty!

We all feel struck down at some point in life. Perhaps it’s the pay raise we were depending on that never arrived. A new relationship that promised to be the “right” one that turned out wrong. A medical report we dreaded is confirmed. No one is immune.

And yet… in the midst of all the pressing, we are not destroyed.

We are not forgotten.
We are not alone.
We are survivors.

“We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 WMB).

How can this be?

Are these words—not crushed, not to despair, not forsaken, and not destroyed simply words? Or are they the truth you can walk in?

Oh, my friend, as children of God, we can trust His word to be true. And in our trusting, only in our trusting, are we able to embrace the “And yet…”

Are you there yet?

Is your heart of assurance beating louder than the words of doubt in your mind?

Do your feet move forward when the world cries out for you to stop and give up?

Do others remark on your tenacity?

Do others walk in Your wake refreshed by your spirit of joy?

Do you see hope while others desperately seek it?

Then yes, oh yes. You are there, and isn’t “And yet…” a lovely place to be?

I pray you are experiencing the, and yet… life with Christ. If not, please know I’m praying for you. I’m praying for you to know God in a way you’ve never considered before. I’m praying for the Truth of Jesus to set you free (John 8:31-32). You are loved beyond measure and valued beyond perfection. And yet…

Let’s journey together.

I cry out to You, Abba Daddy.

Stir my soul with the Truth.

Remind me of Who You are.

Let me be anchored to You, my Harbor.

Guide me to the shore of redemption this day.

I praise You for my provisions, for my strength, and for all wisdom.

With a new dawn, O God, I claim Your mercy and grace. Hallelujah.

Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves; do what it says. James 1:22

May YHWH bless you, keep you, and guide you in all you do. Until next time, this is Linda Goldfarb, and I’m so glad we are on this journey together with Father.
