Devotional Thursday.....

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in GOD, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my GOD.

                                      Psalm 42:5-6 NIV

Corrie ten Boom and her family were part of an underground movement to protect the Jews in Holland during the Nazi occupation. For this, the ten Boom family was arrested in 1943. As they were taken from their home, Corrie managed to place a small Bible in a cloth bag and tie it around her neck. “As we stumbled up a hill I felt the little Bible bumping on my back,” she said. “As long as I had that, we could face hell itself.” Corrie and Betsie , her sister, were soon to face hell in Ravensbruck concentration camp.

As guards searched the women, Corrie asked GOD to shield the Bible.  “The woman ahead of me was searched,” she said. “Behind me Betsie was searched. They did not even look at me.

In barracks 28, the words of that Bible were shared with other women until their building became known as “the crazy place, where they have hope.”

Is your hope running low? Pick up a Bible. Read it. GOD wrote the scriptures with you in mind. As you meditate on His Word, you will soon find what you are looking for—unshakable hope in God for the future.

Todays devotion was taken from the book below. My hope is all will turn to GOD, in good not just in bad. Praise the LORD for all that I have a wonderful husband who takes care of me as the LORD takes care of me.  Have a wonderful Thursday……

Praise the LORD for today…
