daily prayer

    Good morning!  How are we faithing?  Wow man...what a week thus far! How about you? I know there are many wrestling with thoughts and even questioning many things. I do expect to hear comments from one extreme to the other but the thing we must maintain is our dignity and our stand with God.  God is in control and even if we do not see the purpose right now we must trust in the sovereign God of the universe that his time line is just. There are lost jobs, deaths, divorces, abuses, lost finances, daily troubles and inconveniences that happen but we ought not lose faith. What has really changed?  Only temporal things in the flesh.  Our faith in Messiah stays true. Grace is grace.  Love of and from God has not moved. All the while we suffer things we must remember that by grace we are saved and not of works even though we ought to be doing good works.  Hold your tongue even when we are displeased with the outcomes of events because guess what? The control of all isn't yours or mine but the Lords.  Now while I may pray for something and it doesn't happen, that does not mean it went unanswered. For what ever God's reasons for things and events we need to continue to pray and seek HIS will in all we do.




2Ti 2:25-26
  In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;  And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.



2Pe 2:18-19
  For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.



Heavenly Father,
  Help us keep our focus on you and your ways.  Remind us of what we are to do on this ol orb.  We do thank you for things even when we don't understand them and ask for peace in that understanding. Lord, forgive us all our sins and open our eyes to truth in light of all that surrounds us.  In Jesus name, amen
