Forget Him Not

Remembering He is our watchful shepherd

Do you have those special days or mornings when you get up and for some strange reason you feel exceptionally…great? It’s kind of like your energy level is higher or something. You have a better than average attitude about your coming day and you feel excited about what it’s going bring. Of course, there are many days when we don’t have this wonderful kind of optimism. In fact, some mornings it’s hard to even get out of bed much less feel like a fully-charged, Eveready battery! How often do you count these days both good and bad as God’s blessings? Truly, I say our days are all His gifts. They are our opportunities to accomplish the plans He has for our future, His plans to prosper us  and not to harm us. Does what I am saying sound familiar? It should for in (Jeremiah 29:11) this is what God tells us. He is always our watchful, responsible shepherd who is looking out for us. Our God wants only the best for us!

Each morning God waits for us to get up so He can show us new things, take us to greener pastures, and provide the exceptional for us. After all, we are His beloved sheep and He cares for us. Sadly, I think we become so familiar with our routines and our habits we don’t recognize the blessings we do have from God. The blessings of having those good days mixed with the difficult ones -- the times when we don’t have that; all too familiar pain or some hurtful memory. It is hard sometimes to see the forest for the trees, as the old saying goes. God planned our days and our future long ago. It’s really shameful that we tend to look at our days as just another day, a forest full of trees!

In (Isaiah 25:1) the prophet exclaims; “O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You and praise Your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.” Today, let us not forget that God is our watchful shepherd and that He has destined us for good and not bad. Have a blessed day and help someone else share your joy in Him!

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.
