The Lord in Our Lives

Have you ever wondered if the Lord is actually watching over you, actually in you lives? I certainly have.


Due to nearly missing being in car accidents twice this summer, I have come to realize that, yes, God is watching over me as I go through my day.


Just yesterday, I had an appointment to get our car fixed. I had to drive across town to the car dealership that took over when the previous owner chose to retire. It is located across town from where we live. I was driven home via their Shuttle Van. I waited for a phone call from the young woman who waited on me in the service department. While I waited, I began to look for my cellphone, It was not where I placed it in an outer pocket of my purse. I kept having the same thought about the location of my phone-”it's in your car.”


I received the phone call that the Shuttle Van was on its way to pick me up. I opened the front door; I sat down on the couch and waited. When the shuttle pulled up and honked for me, I went out to get in. But first, I looked on the floorboard and the space between the door and the place where the door would be if it were closed.


I told the driver what had happened. He offered to call my phone with his phone, It was not in the van. As we go closer to the dealership, he told me to ask at the service desk. I did just that. The young lady who had waited on my earlier came into the room and said, “It's on your front seat of your car.”


I went in and paid my bill. I tried to hurry to my car. As I got into my car, I looked over into the passenger seat and found my cellphone.


I will try to never doubt what I hear from the Lord, again.

Be Thankful

  My husband and a friend of ours surprised me this week with an unusual gift. It is a good-sized rock with a bumble bee on the left and the word “thankful” across the top of the rock. It sits on my desk next to my computer. On the underneath side, It has my name and the year's date (2025), All this has made me think on my being thankful. Am I being thankful enough? Am I thankful when God doesn't answer my prayers as I want Him to? Do I act thankful when we have several days of gloomy, rainy days? Am I thankful when my plans for the day get changed by someone else? For me, I have to keep in mind that He is in control, not puny little me. Some days, I find it difficult to remember this. I also have to remember that God is sovereign, He can do anything He wants. Prayer: Father God, thank You for reminding me I am to be thankful for all You do for us and all You allow us to do. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

How Should We Pray?

Image
  In my reading of A.W. Tozer, I ran across a statement that has caused me to stop and think. He states that there are certain areas of seeking God's guidance and His answers to our requests in which we we do not know how to pray. Tozer explains that we sometimes ask God to bless us and then give us what we want. Sometimes we pray this way, and it is not what He wants for us. He tells his readers that we should seek God's will and ask Him for His desires for the circumstances we see around us and wish Him to change in our lives and the lives of the church. This is a huge challenge for me. I have to study the situation and then think of how God sees it. Then I have to ask Him “if it is in Your will,” before I present my petitions. Tozer also reminds us that God answers petitions that we ask in Jesus' Name. I find these things fascinating. I definitely have tried to add these approaches to my praying to Hi...
