Kind words can be short & easy to speak,
but their echoes are truly endless.

Be Kind today!
The Cave…
“You are my only place of refuge.” (Psalm 142:5)
When David told God, "You are my only place of refuge", he'd no way of knowing that there was a goldern crown in his future, or that he wasn't going to die in hiding.
For all he knew, the cave he was in right then might be as good as it would get.
When you're in a situation you can't fix, can't heal and can't escape, you have to learn to trust God.
That's not easy, because it means becoming so immersed in God's Word, so convinced of His goodness, so submitted to His lordship, that wherever you are is fine - as long as He's there!
Jesus knows all about caves; He suffered too.
His life was in constant danger. He lost His position as a leader, His status as a teacher, and even His friends.
Then things seemed to get worse; He went to a cross and died. With Him, the dreams He'd inspired in others seemed to die too. What started as a shining success appeared to end up a shameful failure.
Jesus understands your feelings of isolation and loneliness today better than anybody, because nobody else ever descended into death the way He did.
But His enemies made the mistake of putting Him in a cave. They didn't know that that's where God resurrects dead things - like dead hopes, dreams, marriages, ministries and relationships. They didn't realise that He does some of His best work in caves!
If you're in one today, be encouraged, Jesus came out victorious - and His plan is to bring you out, too!
Have a VICTORIOUS day!
PRAISE GOD
BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD

The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried, He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
