He Comes Through

He Comes Through

“Praise the Lord, I tell myself,

With my whole heart,

I will praise his holy name.

Praise the Lord, I tell myself,

And never forget the good things

He does for me”

(Psalm 103 v 1 & 2)

            Every day the Lord gives us blessings. In our “busyness” it is easy to forget the role He plays in our lives. Early in the week when with a very good friend, we were talking about the things that we prayed for. They were guidance, support, internal peace and several others. It was obvious that neither of us prayed for favors or help. We realized that through prayer, good things would happen. 

Below is a story that reinforces my thoughts.

           

            On Friday, in our men’s breakfast and bible study, we opened with a discussion about what to do with our mission money. We tend to distribute it when we get to a certain amount and it was time. There were several proposals, one being a charity that builds and services housing for the poor in Minneapolis. It was a winner this week.

            So what is the big deal? A dear friend and breakfast partner is a supporter of this organization. Earlier in the week he realized that our group had not contributed lately. So, he asked their new secretary to draft a letter reminding us of their need. The secretary did not get it done so there was no reminder or request!  

Do you believe in coincidence? …or faith?

Yes, there is a presence in our daily lives.

Thought for Today: Today will be just like many others. Our calendars are full, we will have unreasonable demands on our time and we will need to focus to make it all happen. With that in mind, let us take a few minutes and think about the Lord’s role and in our lives. Let’s let Him in to our day also!

Prayer for Today: Dear Lord and Father, today we pray to see the results of your participation in our lives and the ability to accept what we do not understand. We trust that good things will happen.

Amen
