I am being hit with some random/not random Bible verses today.

When that happens, I tend to believe that God is confirming something to me…normally it is a way to tell me to “hang on”; “trust Me”, “I’ve got this”; “I’ve always had this”; “I see you”…

And I have only made it through one devotional book and 2 Bible verses….hang on to your hats folks!

#1 from Jesus Calling:

“Anxiety stems from asking the wrong question: “If such and such happens, can I handle it?” The true question is not whether you can cope with whatever happens, but whether you and I together can handle anything that occurs.”

If you follow me at all either here or on social media, you should see how applicable that is for me lately!

But, that is not all of it!

The devotion takes me to Psalm 5:3 which is what becomes #2:

In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

Great verse, yes…but it is what I wrote in the margin that got me…a year ago, 3/19/2017, I wrote that I feared I had a Crohn’s stricture…considering recent events, I think I sensed what was beginning to happen to my body that culminated in the current condition I am now living with.

Instead of making me angry, I truly can say that I feel like I am being told that the Lord knew and knows what is going on…I have not been left alone in this and I won’t be abandoned to it.

Moving on to my Twitter post of last night…We are camping as a family and had a really good day. I highly anticipate having another really good day again today and tomorrow- there is no reason to suggest otherwise!

That being said, with a full and thankful heart, I tweeted that in my time of drought it feels like I have been given a glass of water…that the Lord is faithful to provide what we need when we continue to seek Him.

You know how refreshing a whole glass of water is when you are absolutely parched???

That is how good yesterday felt!

So the “drought” and the “drink” was the analogy I chose to Tweet.

#3, therefore, is Psalm 63:1 (ready today)~

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Seriously, I can’t make this up! The timing, the thought process- all the Lord.

Talk about feeling refreshed.
