America And Beyond…
Good morning beautiful people, good morning. This morning I was praying and reading from my own devotional Good Morning Beautiful People pages 237-239. I read two devotions this morning. God, How Big Are You? Show Us Once Again and also How Far Can Grace Reach?
Today is the last day of the month and summer is in full bloom here in Aroostook County. Yesterday to work and for hours after, I drove my car with the top down across this beautiful land. It was such a beautiful day, and I am thankful for every blessing and opportunity God has given me. May I never forget how far his grace has brought me.
We have promise of another beautiful day today and possibly a shower of fresh rain. As we end this month, I ponder what July will bring. Somehow, I sense it will be an amazing time for America and beyond.
Today is another day to celebrate. Enjoy all that is in your day! Whether the sun shines or there’s a splash of rain-this is the day the Lord has made. Amen? (Psalm 118:24) We embrace the day knowing our days are in his hands.
Let’s pray:
Father, thank you for another day to journey life with you. You are a good God, and we are a blessed people. Today, we just want to say thank you. Thank you for being our God and we your people.
Father, give us creative ideas, assignments much bigger than ourselves and the faith to see them through, for your glory alone.
Father, thank you that whatever page of life we are on, our days are in your hands. Amen.
Have a blessed day God’s most beautiful people. Celebrate life every day. You do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. (James 4:14)
But I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me. Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love. Let me not be put to shame, Lord, for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and be silent in the realm of the dead. Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous. How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you. In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues. Praise be to the Lord, for he showed me the wonders of his love when I was in a city under siege. In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from your sight!” Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help. Love the Lord, all his faithful people! The Lord preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full. Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord. (Psalm 31:14-24)
