Take delight in the Lord’s presence this day. Linger in His presence till your heart overflows with praise and glory for His name. Though you may face difficult choices and circumstances know that The LORD is there to hear your every need. Seek him with all that you are for He desires to spend time with you. The Lord does hear you and when He answers You it may not be in the way that you expect. Sometimes, I cannot see His answers even when the answers are right in front of my face. Why? It is because I expect it one way and God does something else that is not expected. Take a look back over this past week and see how The Lord has answered your prayers. Last week the Lord gave me a verse to read and it was the following:
Deuteronomy 2:7 ESV
For the Lord your God has blessed you all the work of your hands. He knows your going through this great wilderness. These forty years The Lord Your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.
One of the things that I pray for on a daily basis is that God would bless the work of my husband’s hands. Guess what The Lord used this verse to get my attention to the fact that He continues to provide me. He took me back in my mind through each year I have been married and that has been 12.5 years now showing me that HE has provided for me and I have lacked nothing. He has truly provided all that I need and yet I am not satisfied with the things I do have. Oh, Lord forgive me for not being content with what I have and not what I do not have. Help me to be thankful for what I do have. I think that we all have been there a time or two. When we continually ask God to provide for us in different circumstances and each time we seek a pay raise, a new and better job instead of being satisfied with what HE has given in the here and now.
For me, it was reminder for me to be grateful to the LORD for the things I do have and not to crave the things I do not have that I want. I had to ask the Lord to forgive me for being ungrateful for things that I do have. He has forgiven me.
EVERYTHING WE HAVE IN THIS LIFE IS BECAUSE THE LORD GAVE IT TO US IN THE FIRST PLACE! EVERYTHING WE EXPERIENCE IN THIS LIFE COMES THROUGH THE LORD’S HANDS FIRST.
Dear Father,
If this post speaks to anyone right now I ask that you would use it to glorify YOUR NAME and provision in other lives. Bless those that read this post and speak to them through it that their lives might be changed as a result of reading this. In Jesus Name Amen.
So, if this has been something that has touched your heart today. I ask that you comment on how it has spoken to you and what God is saying to you through it. I will trust the Lord to use this post for HIS glory.
