When we love God, we will serve people.
READ: Luke 4:16-21
[The Lord] heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. —Psalm 147:3
Leslie and her two daughters were about to be evicted from their home. Although Leslie believed that God could help, so far He hadn’t given a clue as to how. She wondered, Where is God? As she drove to the courthouse, she prayed for God’s intervention. Then she heard a song on the radio proclaiming, “God is here! Let the brokenhearted rejoice.” Could this be the assurance from God that she was longing to hear?
Inside the courtroom, Leslie stood before the judge, heard his decision, and signed the legal documents, but still God had not given her an answer.
As Leslie was walking to her car, a truck pulled up beside her. “Ma’am,” said the driver, “I heard your testimony inside the courtroom, and I believe God wants me to help you.” And he did. Gary helped Leslie get in contact with a woman from a local church who was able to work with the parties involved to reverse the process so that she and her girls could stay in their home.
When people ask, “Where is God?” the answer is, “Right here.” One way God is at work is through Christians like Gary who are continuing the work Jesus started—healing the brokenhearted and binding up their wounds (Ps. 147:3). — Julie Ackerman Link
My parents always say that the moment you begin to understand the ways of God, then God ceases to be God. But our God is God!! He is God and His reign is eternal!
God works in ways that we do not understand. His ways are not our ways. Neither are His thoughts our thoughts.
GOD WANTS ALL THE GLORY!!
If there were no Egyptians chasing after the children of Israel, and no Red Sea before them, and no mountains to their right and left, they wouldn’t have seen the mighty hand of God (parting the Red Sea).
God sometimes allows us to go through diffilcult situations so that He can show us His love and might.
GOD IS RIGHT HERE!!! But you may not see Him when YOu want to see HIm. But HE IS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!!!
Learn to trust God!!! He loves you too much!!!
Isaiah 55:8-9
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the LORD.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
