\nThere’s More Than One Way Of Saying I Love You featuring Lucy Stimpson Maynard from the album “Uplifted” recorded and produced by Bob Ross<\/p>\nRegular readers of this blog will know that I read \u201cWord For Today\u201d every day. Here is another extract from March 23rd \u2013 this time focused on the wonderful poem \u201cFootprints in the Sand\u201d I share the whole devotion below:
\nConsider these timeless words by Margaret Fishback Powers: \u2018One night I dreamed\u2026I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord. When the last scene of my life shot before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set\u2026I realised that this was at the lowest\u2026times of my life. This always bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma. \u201cLord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk\u2026with me all the way. But I\u2019m aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don\u2019t understand why, when I need You most, You leave me.\u201d He whispered, \u201cMy precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you!\u201d\u2019
\nAnd if you need more reassurance, read these two Scriptures: \u2018The Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not\u2019 (Deuteronomy 31:8 KJV). \u2018For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me\u2019 (Hebrews\u200913:5-6 KJV). The word for today is \u2013 God is with you.
\nQuote of the week
\nAnxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows but today of its strengths.
