• GOD IS WORKING

  Welcome!  Blessings!

   

  I will be off to visit my family until November 27th.  My goal is to still post a daily devotion each weekday.  But I must also be realistic and I will be working to get my Christmas Cards completed.  I have the idea in my head but I have to get the layout & design in the computer & then on paper.  So, if you don’t see me posting, just know that I’m still working!!! & As always, I thank you for your prayers & I thank God for you!

   

  I recall my first time receiving notice that I would be laid-off (the first of several times) and I asked the Lord, “What am I going to do?”  The Lord replied, “You’re the one getting laid off; I’m still working!”  I could only thank God that it wasn’t the other way around.  But how many times through panic, worry and/or doubting do we lay God off and go to working things out (or so we think).  I must say that each time I’ve been laid off, God has worked differently but always miraculously!  If you’re going through a job crisis (or any other crisis for that matter), take heart:  God has held a job before the beginning of time, He has an excellent work ethic (His faithfulness); impeccable work record (His Word), and many references are available upon request (concordance)!

   

  A little three year old boy asked his dad, ”Who made the sky?”  His dad replied, ”God.”  The little boy responded, ”Well, He did a good job!”

   

  When I consider the sky (Psalm 8:3), I must ask, ”What can’t God do?”  When I consider the Son (Romans 8:32), I must ask, ”What won’t God do?”  God is doing an awesome work, a completed work, a perfect work…allow Him!

   

  He delivereth and rescueth, and HE WORKETH signs and wonders in heaven and in earth…  Daniel 6:27

   

  He works, although I cannot see,

  I know that it is true;

  He works and He is doing things

  That no one else can do.

   

  He works and does a perfect work,

  Though I don’t see His hand;

  The Lord yet works, for at all times

  He still is in command.

   

  He works and that’s enough for me;

  He only does what’s best;

  To know He works enables me

  To know that I can rest.

   

  …The LORD will work for us…  1 Samuel 14:6

   

  Psalm

  77:11 – I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember Thy wonders of old.

  77:12 – I will meditate also of all Thy work, and talk of Thy doings.

  26:7 – That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

  105:2 – Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him: talk ye of all His wondrous works.

  33:4 – For the word of the LORD is right; and all His works are done in truth.

  111:2 – The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

  111:3 – His work is honourable and glorious: and His righteousness endureth for ever.

  111:4 – He hath made His wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

  111:6 – He hath shewed His people the power of His works, that He may give them the heritage of the heathen.

  111:7 – The works of His hands are verity and judgment; all His commandments are sure.

  145:10 – All Thy works shall praise Thee, O LORD; and Thy saints shall bless Thee.

   

  Be Bountifully Encouraged!
