Yesterday I wrote about the devotional I’d read, The Path Out. As I was midstream with the small group of men yesterday morning, it was fitting to bring into the conversation the devotional message. I’d taken a picture of it and then printed it so I could have a copy at the counseling room. After sharing the message of it and briefly discussing the message with the guys, one said, “I just love the closing statement, ‘Follow Jesus out of the valley'”. He went on to say that it was powerful to be reminded that Jesus is in the valley with you–you are not alone as Satan wants to feed our minds. That lie is so easy to believe when one is hurting, struggling, confused….

This morning I rejoice once again in the goodness of God our Father. He is so loving and thoroughly rich in Grace as He patiently works with us to find more and more fullness of Him in our lives no matter the difficulties we have faced, do face or will face. The assurance of His Son Jesus and The wonderful Holy Spirit accompanying us in all things just makes me want to rejoice!
