I am grateful for those who have lived before us and their stories and experiences have been shared so that we might be able to learn from their examples of faith and trust in God.
I have a few friends from the scriptures that have taught me valuable lessons.
While I was studying Job I had this thought,
Sometimes the Lord
shows forth his great power through us by his great miracles of
deliverance, fulfilling our desires, healings... and other times his
power is shown through us by his great miracles of strength to endure,
patience, and faith. Either way a miracle is provided and his mighty arm
is shown. I love what the scriptures taught me
about Job. He endured many hard things, lost much, and had people think
that because of his hardships or lack, he must have done wrong or not
been doing enough. Job, humbly praised the Lord, he humbly asked
forgiveness of his sins, he is brought closer to the lord through his
hardships, and eventually he was given twice as much as he had before.Gives me hope for the future and ability to let go of the past.And know that all things as we follow the Lord's impressions are for our good, even if they are a sacrifice for our hearts.The pains of today can be swallowed up in the joys of tomorrow. We have reason to rejoice.Because we are in God's hands.
Abraham is another great example to me and I have sought to learn from his example.
This being a great example of his hope and faith:
