God Will Get The Glory!

I looked around my room and realized the time had come! There were piles everywhere! Clothes, books, papers, shoes…how had I let it get so junked up? I like for things to be organized. I like to have things in place. When my surroundings are in order…I feel more in order. When things around me are in chaos…I feel a sense of being out of control.

There is so much going on in our world right now. It is easy to get caught up in the things that are piling up around us. It is easy to let ourselves get caught up in the chaos that is swirling around us.

So! I was determined to get those things under control that were indeed in my control. As I began to pick up one thing after another and put it in its correct place, I found myself picking up an upside down post-it note holder.

As my eyes fell on the note that I had scribbled down sometime in the past, I stopped and received the message that God was speaking to me right now!

Brothers and Sisters, no matter what is happening in your life; no matter what chaos or disorder you are dealing with; hear God speaking!

Do not be afraid! He is with you! He will cause ALL things to work together for your good! And when all is said and done —HE will get the glory!! HALLELUJAH!!

Use Me, LORD!

Good morning, Lord!

Thank You for this day full of opportunities to love You and to show others Your love for them.

I rejoice in having another day on this earth to be used for Your Glory! I look for divine appointments…times that You set into place for a specific purpose.

Open my eyes, Lord, that I may see! Anoint my ears, Lord, that I may hear You more clearly! Anoint my mouth, Lord, that I may speak Your will!

Use me, Lord, for Your kingdom purposes this day! I am Your vessel! I surrender all I am and all I will be to You!  I love You!!

THANKFUL!

The “official” Thanksgiving Day is over…but we have many more days to celebrate our thankfulness! It all depends on where our focus lies. We will have many opportunities to see and experience things and circumstances we are NOT thankful for. But, we can choose to be thankful in the middle of them because we have Someone who will walk with us through them and Who will give us the strength to overcome!!

As we begin the journey towards CHRISTmas….may we continue to be thankful as we focus on WHO this season is all about!! I am thankful for my Lord & Savior, Jesus, and I celebrate His physical birth upon this earth and His spiritual birth within each of us!!

May we spread His love and the Good News during the coming days. If not us…then who?
