Lessons from a Young Mother

This week we learn that God is in control.  He sees us, hears us, and leads us as we seek to follow Him.  Whether we are talking about a mother facing life as a single parent like Hagar, the twelve facing a life storm or the demoniac facing the turmoil of emotional spiritual bondage, we clearly see that God is in control. Those who are facing serious economic loss or a devastating illness; or perhaps the death of a loved one need not fear.  God is loving and caring. He sees you and your needs and is fully able to meet those needs and see you through the doubts and fears.  I have learned over the course of my life that God is with me; that He will see me through.  I have but to look to Him and trust Him; that I need to acknowledge Him in all my ways and He will direct my paths.  Many are those around us who are hurting; devastated by situations and storms.  May we support them through our prayers, but may they also see our faith and bear witness to our testimony that God is the God of the valley just as much as the God of the mountain.

Verse of the Week:

And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

_{Genesis 16:13}
