Death Sentence2 Cor. 1:9
Indeed, [to be sure, definitely, without a doubt]
we felt within ourselves that we had received the very SENTENCE OF DEATH, [the ordeal was so unbearable, stressful, overwhelming and lengthy that there seemed to be no hope of escaping death]
but that was to keep us from trusting in and depending on ourselves instead of on God Who raises the dead. [who will raise the dead at the last day, and so is able to deliver us when we are in the most distressed condition, and in our own opinion as ‘dead men’]

Pray the Word:
Lord, help us to stop our griping and complaining and believe that when we’re in dire straits - You have allowed these situations deliberately to show us a better way out and a peaceful way to handle it . . so that our hearts are at rest because we are counting on a living God to do something that we cannot do.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
