"Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Psalm 37:4

"But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

Why do we worry and fret over our circumstances? As children of the one true God we should rest in the knowledge that "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) For 20 years I was a barren woman and yet now I am the mother of three children. "He maketh the barren woman keep house and to be a joyful mother of children." (Psalm 113:9)

No matter what our circumstances are we have reason to rejoice. God will make a way when there seems no way at all. I've seen Him do this over and over again in my own life. Impossible situations turn into wonderful possibilities and blessings. It is not right that we should walk around with our heads hung low, feeling defeated. We should walk with our heads held high and waiting on the Lord to move in our situation. I know many times His timing is slower than what we would want but our patience will be rewarded in the end. Remember "we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)
