Psalm 85
The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. v12
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:17
If God is before all things and He controls all circumstances and if He also only good then we can trust and have faith in Him - the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Even when times are difficult, we must not be shaken because God is using all circumstances for our good and His purpose. We must give thanks.
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
My Prayer: Lord, You are ONLY good. And I know You are for me...You know everything about me, yet You chose me then suffered and died for me. You are able to redeem my sin for my good and Your purpose - only You can do this! How great a God are You! Thank You for adopting me as Your child - I am deeply grateful. Yet I am not worthy of such an act - I am broken and in need of forgiveness and mercy. Please forgive me for me worry and help me overcome such sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects of chemo. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin...and serve You. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message today and every day.
