There are many things each of us pray about on a daily basis. Many of us have experienced God answering our prayers. Some of those answers may had come in form that we did not expect but be praise God He answered our prayers.
When things do not go right it is tempting to try to point the blame at something or someone else. It is easy to see everyone else’s flaws and mistakes, and while we are pointing out their mistakes and flaws, we are overlooking our own mistakes and flaws. No one is perfect and we are all going to make mistakes, and in making those mistakes we have to own up to the things that we have done, before we can point the finger at someone else and the things that they have done.
There are some choices that we make based on not only the looks, but also the benefits. We choose the stores we shop at because we want to ensure we are getting quality and value. If we take the time to look at many of the things we do, we would find that there are not many things we do without first considering the benefit to us. Many times, if there is not benefit for us, we will not participate in whatever it is.
This is a good day to give thanks to The Lord. The Lord has stretched forth His finger of love and allowed each of us to see another day. We may not know what this day holds for us, but we do know who holds the day. This is the day to get excited about who God is in your life. Give thanks to The Lord for He is good. As we take a look at our lives and all that we have been through we realize that The Lord is more than good to us, and He is more than kind to us.
When we really put our heart into something we give it our all. The heart is the seat of our passion on how we do things, and why we do them. There are some things that we do and our heart is not in it, and it shows because we do not do our very best, we just go through the motions. Whatever we do or are doing for The Lord, it should be our very best without question. We should always have a heart for God and for the things of God, and we should always want to give God our all and our very best.
It is increasingly difficult to operate and do things when we do not think or feel we have all we need to get the job done. When we have to bring a piece from here and a piece from there just to make things work it can be frustrating. It is much easier to be able to do something when we know we have all that we need and more to get the job done. It is when we are feeling a sense of lack that we struggle to the end of a project because all the things we needed were not in one place.
There are some things that we can get done simply by using our strength, and there are some other things we will not be able to move by using our strength. There are some other things that we may be able to get done by using the power we have to make things happen. Yet, there are times when all of the influence we may have, and all of the strength that we have is not good enough to get some things accomplished.
A young girl received the leading role in the school play and was excited about the opportunity she had. She practiced all of her lines in front of her family and was ready to go out and perform. On the day of the performance she looked from behind the curtain and saw the entire auditorium filled with people. She saw her family, but she also saw those who did not like her, and those who were against her, and fear gripped her, and she would not go out and perform.
There is no doubt that The Lord has done great things in all of our lives. There have been times when we have not been in the greatest of situations, but even then, we could point to how great The Lord is to us. Any greatness that we may have has to be ascribed to The Lord’s greatness working in our lives, and we cannot take credit for any greatness we may have. The Scripture reminds us that, the Lord shall increase our greatness, and comfort us on every side. I encourage today to, remember that The Lord has great things in store for your life, and in all of the great things that He has already done for you, He has yet even more in store for you.
