This weather reminds me – when I was young, we didn’t sleep with any heat on in the house. We went to bed, didn’t move till morning and then ran to the living room where the space heater was roaring. I admit I don’t like much heat at night to this day. But on cold winter temp days and nights like these, the heat comes and goes all through the night.  The heat pump can’t keep up with the cold, so the auxiliary heat source comes on. It will be fine. You could say this morning that we’re spending our children’s inheritance! LOL

Oh beloved, tough weather doesn’t last. But being a fair-weather advocate won’t work in places like Arkansas. It gets cold. In a few days it will be tipping near 60 degrees. But right now it’s downright miserable. Yet even in the misery there is thankfulness.
And God says it’s time to cultivate thankfulness. Right now while it’s winter. Don’t wait till spring. The weeds of complaining, griping and disappointment will grow into a crop you don’t want. When spring returns you will be thankful for the bounty that giving thanks brings you. Learn to sing in the dark and make your music a melody of thanksgiving to the Lord.
God loves you and He is working this all out. He is always in control. No weather trouble can overshadow His power. Run to Him this morning and practice giving thanks. And see how it warms your heart in Christ!
Philippians 4:6 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. AMP  

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

About the Author:

Rebekah Beene

 

In a Christian Women’s meeting in 1983, Rebekah was given a prophetic message that she would write books. Several years ago she began writing stories about special holiday memories and travels, sharing God’s love and care through each story. God has gifted Rebekah with the ability to look at the natural and see the supernatural. Both Rebekah and her husband Danny have a heart to share the Gospel and the riches of life in Christ to everyone they meet. They have served in the local church and in ministry to motorcyclists. Danny is an ordained minister and they both have been Bible study teachers for many years. Rebekah also speaks at women’s retreats and conferences. Her tag line says it all “God loves you and He’s for you”.
