“Cloudy Days”
Psalm 138:7, 8
Many times, while on our journey, we get afraid. Clouds and darkness seem to prevail, misty valleys with damp clammy fingers reach out through the night and make your dream seem like an ebbing of a nightmare; The vision you had seems to be nothing more than a figment of imagination. But you know that God is there in it all, because you’ve seen Him in action; When it seems the darkest, light breaks through, and reveals the hand of the Master, because He was there all of the time, my troubled child.
Believe in what you have studied in His word, and what you have seen Him do, over and over. Even if doubt assails you, while climbing to Heavenly places, and finding the perfect will of God.
We must remember the promise, go forward, never stray left or right; Obedience is the lot for blessings, not lingering in fleshly lusts. I am not going to turn left or right. I’m going straight ahead, until God turns me. If I know to go on doing good, then God will turn me when it is right, when I have learned enough to go in a different direction. I must keep my heart and mind on what I know is right, and God will guide me in those places I fear and doubt.
“Dimmed View”
Clouds roll in, I am afraid.
Darkness dims my view.
The rising mist fills the air,
Where, Oh God, are you?
“I’m here,” He says,
with the calmest voice,
"I’ve been here all the while."
“Turn back,” you can’t, the way is too dark,
Ahead is hope for you: Grace and mercy
Led you through, the place of doubt and trial.

Weekly Memory Verses: 2 Peter 3:9-12
9 ¶The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 ¶Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
