Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. ~Psalm 136:1
God is good. He is loving and kind. He is steadfast. He looks beyond our faults and sees our needs. He infuses us with strength to carry out the day( Isaiah 41:10). He transforms us into His image, to look and act more and more like His Son Jesus everyday ( 2 Corinthians 3:18). He is a great, great God.
Circumstances may arise that are difficult, but is especially during these times that we must remind ourselves of just who God is. He is a big God, the God of gods(Psalms 136:2), Lord of lords(Psalm 136:3), and King of kings. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end(Revelations 22:13) There is nothing beyond His reach or control. He can and will turn it around. He is working it all out for the good (Romans 8:28).
He loves us. Remember He sent His Son to die on a cross for us so that we could be reconciled to Him (2 Corinthians 5:18). He wants relationship. He wants to be and is our loving Father. He is deserving of our praise. Let us give thanks.
Transparency, today I woke up a little tired and stiff. My bones ache. I asked God for energy and He supplied it. I have asked God to help me mediate on His word and truth. The Lord has blessed me abundantly. He allowed me to see Him at work. He showed me restoration and peace. He showed me the fruits of my labor with my students. Its just week one! Oh the expectation of what He is going to do this year. God is a good God. My God. Faithful and true. He gives me just what I need to press on. Thank you Jesus.
Father, I thank You for being such a loving Father. Your love endures forever and that gives me hope. You are constant and sure. Thank You Jesus. I give you praise. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Love this sweetheart. Good blessed morning!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the words of encouragement. Have a blessed day.
DeleteSuch a great blessing when you begin the year off with God blessing you and giving you the strength you need. He will provide as you have need of Him and His strength. Blessings on this a new school year. I really kind of miss doing that, but I know that my body can’t do that anymore unless God really BIG TIME turns it around. I worked as a paraprofessional for 10 years and a substitute for 2 years. I had to stop working due to MAJOR FATIGUE in 2010. I’ve not even been able to go back and help out at school it’s still so bad. Teaching was something I enjoyed doing even at church and now I’m not doing that anymore.
ReplyDeleteFatigue is definitely a factor with teaching. It takes a lot of mental , physical and emotional stamina. Thank you for the time that you did serve. I pray that God has given you others ways to shine for Him in the Kingdom.
