Thursday Devotional - Anonymous Note

Have you ever gotten an anonymous note? In the past, I’ve usually been able to figure out who it is from, but a note I got this week has still stumped me! She wrote to encourage me with all the illness that went through our household last week, during the first week the twins lived with us.

She included many encouraging verses and several from Psalm 46.

Psalm 46:1-3, 5, 7, 10         God is our refuge and strength,
    an ever-present help in trouble.
² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
³ though its waters roar and foam
    and the mountains quake with their surging.

 
⁵ God is within her, she will not fall;
    God will help her at break of day.

 

⁷ The Lord Almighty is with us;

    the God of Jacob is our fortress.
¹⁰ He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

 

The note was signed “Someone who loves and cares for you!”

She wanted me to know she was praying for me and for healing for my family. I pray she feels God’s blessing for her anonymous encouragement! We are all finally feeling better and James’ asthma is much improved.

 

What encouragement can you and I give to someone who needs it this week?
