Here We Go Again

 Yesterday I wrote about seasons of bountiful blessings. I commented that I knew from experiences that such seasons do not last. Trials test our faith. I enjoyed the season of bountiful blessings. I had no idea how quickly it would end. I mean end abruptly. 

I received some mail yesterday that brought ominous news. Just like that we are put in another situation to trust God and put our faith forward. I felt blindsided. Good thing I had already prepared for such a challenge. At first, I despaired. Then, I took up the shield of faith and prayed for God's intervention. 

The stage is set. Everything is in place for God to step in and do some God sized stuff for which He alone will get the glory. This is the nature of faith walking. If you want a greater faith, then you have to be willing to embrace greater faith challenges. 

In the past, I would have looked at the current trial in a negative light. Now I see it as an opportunity for God to do something amazing. I see it as one more opportunity to brag on Him. I see it as another chance for God to demonstrate His power and to encourage hundreds and possibly thousands to keep praying because He answers!

Our bountiful blessing season, which I in no way believe is completely over, lasted less than a week. Five days to be exact. I am at peace. It is truly well with my soul. I anticipate the next great move of God on behalf of the Edwards family. It will come any day now. I approach my each new day in faith and everyday anticipate what He will do. Here we go again. May God get all the glory for what He is about to do.
