God Does Things Completely

Verse 11 really stood out to me today. It doesn’t say that God’s word will do some things that He sent them to do but that His words will do everything. When God does something, He does it completely. There is no unfinished business. There will be no strings left untied. I thank God for doing work in our lives that we would not be able to accomplish on our own.

Isaiah 55:6-11
Turn to the LORD! He can still be found. Call out to God! He is near. 7Give up your crooked ways and your evil thoughts. Return to the LORD our God. He will be merciful and forgive your sins. 8The LORD says: “My thoughts and my ways are not like yours. 9Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, my thoughts and my ways are higher than yours. 10Rain and snow fall from the sky. But they don’t return without watering the earth that produces seeds to plant and grain to eat. 11That’s how it is with my words. They don’t return to me without doing everything I send them to do” (Isaiah 55:6-11). Read more

Be Thankful

We are to be thankful for all things, good and bad, no matter what our current circumstance. God is in control. He will help us through it and we can get something good from the experience. There is a purpose for all that we experience in life.

1 Thessalonians 5

16 Be joyful always, 17 pray at all times, 18 be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus.

Thank You For Knowing All About Us

Psalm 139

Our Heavenly Father, We thank you for creating us. We thank you for protecting us when we aren’t even aware of your presence. We thank you for being there when we call on you even though there are times we don’t seek your face when we should. We pray you would guide us in a way that we would walk in obedience to you. We pray we would seek you for our daily bread. We thank you for the opportunity to feast with family and friends and for all the things you give to us on a daily basis that we take for granted. May your grace and peace be with each of us. In Jesus Name, Amen

God is Sooo Big

I thank God for being a God that succeeds when we fail, a God that continues to work when there is nothing else we can do except pray, a God that knows what he is doing when we seem to have no clue, a God that is bigger than anything we go through.
