As
you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's
womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, The Maker of all things.
Ecclesiastes
11:5
New International
Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
I
don't know. I don't know! That has to be one of the hardest phrases for us to
use. But when thinking about God and his ways, that's really all we can say. We
know about God only what he in his grace has chosen to reveal to us. He is the
Mystery of mysteries. He is the supreme knowable Unknown. Yet what we do know
of him, what he has revealed to us in Jesus, is not only mighty and awesome,
but loving and merciful.
MY PRAYER...
To
you, O Lord God, I can only offer my wonder and awe. When I consider the
universe in which our tiny blue planet spins its existence, I am humbled at
your vastness. But at the same time, I treasure your nearness. You are a good
far above all I know, but a God who is also near. Thank you for being
accessible but not penetrable. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
IT’S NO SURPRISE TO
HIM
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“But
thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph...”
(2
Corinthians 2:14, AMP)
TODAY’S WORD from
Joel and Victoria
In
life, we all have to deal with the unexpected. Just because we’re believers,
just because we’re good people or doing the right thing doesn’t make us exempt
from trouble. The scripture says, “The rain falls on the just and the unjust.”
When something unexpected happens or you find yourself facing a crisis, don’t
automatically go into “panic mode” or just fall apart emotionally. Realize that
the crisis is no surprise to God. It may be unexpected to you, but God knows
the end from the beginning. He has solutions to problems that you haven’t even
had yet. He has equipped you for every battle, and He goes before you to make
your crooked places straight!
Today,
instead of focusing on your problem, focus on your God. Focus on the fact that
He is with you. Remember that He is walking with you, leading and guiding you
to a place of peace and victory. No matter what has happened, He will take what
the enemy meant for evil and turn it around for your good. He always leads us
in victory. So keep moving forward knowing that He has a good plan for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly
Father, I come to You with an open and humble heart. I thank You for the
victory that You have in store for me even when I can’t see it. I choose to
trust You and Your goodness, knowing that You are faithful in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
