Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed ...

Joshua 1:9

We experience sickness, loss of loved ones, loneliness, and depression. Some call this “The Golden Years.” Doctors and those who attend us have “golden years.” Of course, what would we do without doctors and those who help us “Seasoned folks?”

Unexpected blessings are life’s blessings. They are a way for God to remind you that he will NEVER call you to do something that he does NOT provide the way for you to accomplish it.

I look to God in my time of uncertainty or times of trouble and ask him to deliver me knowing that he will hear me. “Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me” (Psalm 50:15).

Dear Father, lead me, guide me, never let go of me as I rely on you. Amen.

Reflect: Read the Bible to see how Jesus loves you and cares for you.

Read: 1 Peter 5:7 and Psalm 56:3-4
