Dragging Monday

How was your Monday?  I was dragging all day as this weekend wore me out.  I did just do a little jog/walking a while ago.  I started out using my Couch to 5K app, but I got a better offer to walk with my friend, Joy. What a God hug to catch up with her!

During my quiet time this morning, I felt God reminded me to be quiet and be still just like Abraham.  Abraham was tested for a very long time, but he was richly rewarded. The Lord tested him by delaying the fulfillment of His promise. Satan tested him through temptation, and people tested him through their jealousy, distrust and opposition
 to him.  Sarah tested him through her worrisome temperament.  YET (there is that wonderful three letter word) he patiently endured, not questioning God's truthfullness and power or doubting God's faithfulness and love.  Instead, Abraham submitted to God's divine sovereignty and infinite  wisdom.  And he was silent through many delays, willing to wait for the Lord's timing. Having patiently endured, he then obtained the fulfillment of the promise. (Streams in the Desert). 

Gosh, it sounds like it was easy for Abraham. Lord, I am trying!

Hugs!
