“give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.†1 Thessalonians 5:18
Stephanie’s dream was to be an author, but family obligations took priority.
When she was forty, however, the urge to write hit again.
She wondered if it was from God.
Friend, you might be wondering about your dream. Is it God’s best for your life?
Well, at first Stephanie’s prayers were filled with doubt.
Then she heard Charles Stanley speak about prayer and fasting.
So she abstained from eating while the family was away. It left her with more time for God.
As she prayed and released her dream to God, His Word spoke to her heart.
Her dream was confirmed. Writing was God’s will for her!
Jesus then took Stephanie Reed with her God-given ability to write and used her for His glory.
And, dear one, God can do the same for you. Give Him your dream today! http://stephaniereed.turboflanges.com/aboutMe.html
“I will meditate on the glorious splendor of your majesty and on Your wondrous worksâ€. Psalm 145:5
Nature in all its beauty is so spectacular this spring. We live in southern British Columbia and I don’t remember when the new growth on the trees and grass has been so lush. The flowers are blooming in magnificent splendor. The birds are singing with all their might as they make their nests and tend to their babies. It is breathtaking!
One of the birds that make their home on our property is the Kill Deer. We find their nests beside the driveway, in the shavings in the riding arena and on piles of rocks. God has given them such a perfect camouflage that unless you stop and take time to look real hard, you will not see them, their nests or their eggs. They blend in perfectly with their surroundings. It is absolutely amazing.
God is so good at camouflage. I am not so good at it. At my age, my body has a mind of its own so I try to disguise the effects of aging. I always wear jackets or shirts as a result of an expanding waist. I wear straight cut blouses and capri pants in warmer weather – can’t wear shorts in public anymore. But as you know, we can learn to give the illusion of being younger than we are, but when we take our clothes off we are faced with the truth.
Aging is part of the cycle of life, part of the mystery of God. I recall so clearly sitting in the hospital lobby with my sisters right after my father passed away. While we sat there waiting for my brother, several mothers walked out of the hospital with their new babies. One generation leaves and the next generation is born. Life passes so quickly. Psalm 90:12 tells us: “So teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdomâ€.
You see, the aging process is part of God’s wondrous creation – a constant reminder that this world is not our home. We are just passing through. We need to be ready to meet our Creator at any time. Are you ready? If you would die tonight, do you know for sure you would go to heaven? If not, visit this webpage: http://www.thoughts-about-god.com/biblestudies/besurechristian1.htm
Father, You are an awesome God. You alone deserve to be praised and worshiped. Help us to face the fact that soon we will be meeting You face to face. This world is not our home. Lord Jesus, we want to know You more. Amen.
