“I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works and that my soul knows very well.”  Psalm 139:14                                                      I waste too much time wishing i was thinner, my hair was straighter and maybe my nose was different. Then i am reminded of the One who created me and how He created me in His image. Now i tell myself i will no longer look in the mirror to see who i am but i will look to see myself through His eyes and there i will see me as i really am. I won’t look at “In Style” or “Vogue” to find who i should be or what i should look like. Instead i will look to His Word to seek the answer to those questions. I will praise You, God!

“Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!”  Psalm 27:14                                                                                                             As i am going through a time of difficult lessons learned the hard way i keep asking, “What do i do, Lord?” . This morning i open my Bible right to the Book of Psalms and this is the passage my eyes are automatically drawn to. Guess that is my answer. Given in God’s sweet way in His perfect timing. So now i wait…i am weak but He is strong and His grace is sufficient for me. Somehow He will get me through this and i will be better because of it but first i must learn to wait. Wait on the Lord…

Thank You, God, for the little things that often come our way-The things we take for granted but don’t mention when we pray-The unexpected courtesy, the thoughtful, kindly deed-A hand reached out to help us in the time of sudden need-Oh, make us more aware, dear God, of little daily graces That come to us with “sweet surprise” from never-dreamed-of places.          Helen Steiner Rice

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.”  Psalm 139:23                   God, You know me and You know my heart. You know my wickedness and my anxieties. You know how i easily overlook or excuse my sinful behavior. Please help me to see what You see when You look at me and to walk in the way that You lead. Amen.

Living Fountains

“They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”  Revelation 7:16&17                                                                 While i can only imagine what these living fountains must be like, it is nice to look to what i do know, and though it is only a hint of what i can expect, i am comforted and encouraged by God’s Word and the ways He uses to speak His truth to me.
