Father God, as I welcome this new day, I surrender this day to you. I pray Father that I will function in your will, that my thoughts and actions will be directed by you, for your glory! Thank you for this new day!
Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
It took me well over 50 years to surrender my will to the will of God. What took me so long, did I have brain damage? Was I too hard-headed, stubborn, prideful or just ignorant of God`s plans and desires for me. Yes, all of the above; I was held captive by the ways of the world and it`s strangle-hold on my soul, lacking knowledge and Godly wisdom.
But, I was a good person.... never the less, stumbling through life`s up and downs with no true direction! Ecclesiastes 10:15 A fool`s work wearies him; he does not know the way to town. Hum, did I spend years merely lost in the wilderness? Did God send just the right people at just the right time to touch my withering soul, He sure did! Thank you, God!
This weekend, as I once again serve on the Emmaus team, I will humbly share parts of my life`s testimony, in the Fourth Day talk. A talk to encourage and empower these women to walk in the light and the truth of Jesus Christ for the rest of their lives. I pray that by willingly opening my heart and soul, my story will bring witness and glory to our awesome GOD.
Psalm 107:1-6 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say this---those he redeemed from the hand of the foe, those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
Signed, sealed and delivered, thank you, LORD. Amen!
