Yet the Lord your God refused to heed Balaam; the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loved you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Peter 3:15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it is not great when one\u2019s enemies join together to give voice to and worse to effect a curse against one continuing to live in peace and even to continue to breathe at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God does not work magic to save us. Sometimes it may indeed seem that God barely works at all. Yet God does work and work grace and blessings for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because God walks with us, we trust that any curse spoken or attempted against us will be turned into a blessing, just as God turned Balaam\u2019s curse into a blessing. Thus living and breathing will continue to be wondrous for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today also, each challenge is not our undoing, but cause for us to give thanks, for as many challenges as we face, God gives us the ability to overcome them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we live, content, giving God thanks for everything that provides life for us, most of all, God\u2019s presence each day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
