Ephesians 3:17b-19: And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Hat and Gloves

Mighty Hand
 
Thank you for visiting Love Come to Life. Maybe you found the gloves or the hat
that was left for you... Winter has definitely made it's arrival and it's nice
to have protection from the harsh cold weather. 

That reminds me of another story of some harsh conditions... remember the
Israelites?  They were slaves in Egypt and the Lord guided them out of that land
and into Canaan.  The Lord told them to have a seven day ceremony and on the
seventh day to hold a festival, but for those seven days they had to throw away
all their yeast!!  That means instead of PB&J on whitewheat, they were partying
with peanut butter crackers. And in place of those buttery yeast rolls, they
were eating saltines...  But why??  The Lord said on this day tell your son 'I
do this because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.'  For the
Lord brought us out of Egypt with his Mighty Hand!!   (Exodus 13) The Lord
wanted them to stop for a moment ( or 7 days) and celebrate His faithfulness! 
It wasn't easy to trust God to leave Egypt but they had backstage passes to some
pretty amazing miracles. 

2012 is almost over and we all have something to celebrate!  What has the Lord
brought you and your family out of with his Mighty Hand?? What can you do to
remember the faithfulness of God so that when someone asks you why , you can
tell them, ' I do this because of what the Lord did for me...' 

We would love to celebrate with you, if you have a testimony of God's
faithfulness in your life please post a comment below.
