Thoughts of Grace

Don’t you just love Sunflowers? I do!

Good Morning

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. Psalm 34:17-19

‘Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,” Paul penned. “The Scriptures give us patience and encouragement so that we can have hope.” (Romans 15:4)
These are not just Sunday school stories.
Not romantic fables. . . .
They are historical moments in which a real God met real pain
so we could answer the questions,
“Where is God when I hurt?”
How does God react to dashed hopes?
Read the story of Jairus. (Luke 8:41-)
How does the Father feel about those who are ill?
Stand with him at the pool of Bethesda. (John 5:2-)
Do you long for God to speak to your lonely heart?
Then listen as he speaks to the Emmaus-bound disciples. . . (Luke 24:13-)
He’s not doing it just for them.
He’s doing it for me.
He’s doing it for you. . . .
The God who still speaks. . . .
The God who came still comes.
He comes into our world.
He comes into your world.
He comes to do what you can’t.
He Still Moves Stones, Max Lucado

Trust God for your day . . .Today
With my prayers, desiring yours. Leslie
