Pictured: A distant electrical storm in the red desert country.
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
We watched it forming in the distance... a massive storm system. After months with no rain we had great expectations today was the day... it would be so good for the crops and the dry earth... But it passed by to the north. All we got at Desert Springs Farm was a violent dust storm. Horizontal winds filled with dirt and debris. Just another day in the desert country. You can choose to either be discouraged or keep going and be encouraged. Both words have the word ‘courage’ in them.
When you choose to be an encourager you are filling people with new hope, new expectations, courage and confidence. The opposite is to fill people with fear, doubt and a sense of powerlessness. No matter what your circumstances are today... Rejoice and pray!! And be filled with courage to keep going! Christ is in you and you are in Christ! That’s good news. Thanks for your prayers and encouragement.
Godspeed,
Steve
