A New Day Is Dawning

It is 4:48 am and still dark outside but I know a new day is dawning. Soon, the sun will be up and the birds will be singing. Change is imminant and it soon. Every situation will change or stay the same. Now you are probably thinking that was great revelation. It is true. Either something will change the situation or it won't. Hope can move mountains of despair. Depression can level mountains of hope. A level playing field can result in a victory. The words of our mouths make all the difference in the game. By His stripes I am healed. He supplies all my needs in Christ Jesus. He works all things for His good. Because He first loved me. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind imagined what He has planned for me-the one who loves Him.
I have been away too long. It is time to revisit the tent of joy.

No Coincidences Just Great Harvests

The Hebrew language is lacking two words that we have in English. One is retirement as we know it (God always has something for us to do) and one is coincidences (no coincidences-only divine providencef God).
So when I met a new friend today through a stinging situation, I knew once again He was looking out for me-turning a bad situation into one for His good.

I tend to "sew in silver linings" to most of the situations of my life. Looking for the good in people and what I am facing rather than the gloomy facts that may be staring me straight in the face. I look beyond the circumstances to the possibilities of greatness that may be harvested from it in time. That s the joy of the Lord in my life. He gives me a fresh look at life everyday.
