Y Sabemos ~ And We Know

 

 

I think that everyone who knows me knows that my favorite scripture is Romans 8:28. For so many years my focus and has been on "it works together" and "it works for good". I mean it does work. A couple of weeks ago I was reading a Spanish Bible and I immediately went to this scripture and when I read the first two words I stopped and began to dig and do some research.

 

In Spanish there are two words, that I know of,  that are used for "to know". Saber is used to talk about facts or learned skills. Conocer is used to express familiarity  or acquaintance. I looked this up because to be honest I'm more familiar with the word conocer.

 

Tonight I begin to think about how I shout out to the rooftops that even if I got hurt or something didn't work, it still works together for my good. Seldom do I say, "And I know." I just tell people it works, I don't tell them how I know it works. Often people will tell you that you shouldn't post certain things on social media or tell people about your life. Though it says in the Bible that we overcome by the word of our testimony. Our testimony comes from what we know, that's actual and factual. It comes from some learned experiences that can honestly bless another person get through a similar situation. We are blessed to be a blessing.

 

When I teach to and speak with women I come from a stand point of "I know". Your husband left you? "I know." You going through a divorce. "I know." You raising kids alone? "I know." Your money funny? "I know." You need to seek counseling? "I know." Some of your friends stop rocking with you? "I know." Sometimes your faith waives. "I know."

 

What I also know is, that if God brought me out, He's going to bring you out too. Whatever He's done for me, He will do the same for you. What I know is based on my experiences, it's based on my relationship with God. Some days to be honest, I didn't know. But now......  Y sabemos.
