God, you are so wonderful and so caring in all things that pertain to our being! You give us life and strength and soundness of mind. You shower us with your undying faithfulness and new mercies every morning, Lamentations 3:22-23(ESV) "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
We watch in amazement as rain and warm sunshine cause flowers and trees and our planted gardens to burst forth from the ground, and then shutter as the cold and snow move in to settle the earth for a long winter snap; but just as all things gain their nourishment on earth from God's divine timing, even so we need His Spirit working within us to nourish and help us grow in every phase of life.
God has great plans for each of us, Jeremiah 29:11(NIV) tells us "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." He created us in His image, so as we laugh or cry and go through all sorts of emotions from life, we hold the assurance in knowing we were created to be His children and that His plan for our life is to give us good things, if only we follow His directions and trust Him in all things.
Isaiah 55:8,9 tells us "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD."As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts". So as we learn to trust in the Lord He will guide us in the right direction and down the right paths as declared in Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
So today as you continue down your pathway of life, I pray you will acknowledge Him in all you encounter and trust God's ways as you purpose to hear Him and follow Him in all things.
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~
