It’s Friday! When I was working full time now going on 8 years ago, that was a joyous feeling. A two day break was on the horizon! Friday also gives each of us an opportunity to think back over the many blessings we have been given.
One thing all of us have in common to be joyful over is that we were born in this country. Despite all the issues we see and many are disconcerning for sure, this country has been blessed and we by extension have also been blessed. A working toilet in a home is a great thing. Air conditioning in the summer in Texas is greater than what words here can describe. Oh that my ancestors could have enjoyed that. There is so much.
You may be facing a really tough situation in your life right now. Most of us totally understand. Keep in mind that there is nothing too big for the one true living God. In reading Numbers this morning, I came across this verse “And the Lord said to Moses, “Has the Lord’s arm been shortened?” Think about that. Of course it has not! There is absolutely nothing He can’t do and you have absolutely nothing to lose to petition before His throne. Remember that this life is full of challenges and difficulties as well as joy and happiness. You have a source of strength. Seek Him. Trust Him. Allow Him to be your source of courage and don’t forget those words of gratitude and praise!
