God Our Father

When you just think you can't take one more step on your own strength and you feel so weak and vulnerable, the grace of God comes to strengthen you. I have long learned we are not without help or guidance. All we need is to call upon the Lord. He is truly a prayer away.

I am amazed at how God works in our life. When you just think you can't make it or it is too hard, there comes his grace to carry you through your hard times. He provides EVERYTHING WE NEED according to his riches. He wakes us up every morning and appropriates sufficient grace for the new day so we can face whatever the day may bring. One comforting thought for me is knowing that God has seen all my unseen tomorrows and there is nothing that he does not know. So when the future looks uncertain, I am certain in the knowledge that my father holds all my tomorrows and he is on my side.

In these uncertain times that we live in where there is rumors of unprecedented natural disasters and economic instability, it is a comforting thought to know that God's mercy and grace is new every morning and that his constant love will never leave us or forsake us. It is also comforting to know that God is in control and is all powerful when we feel that life is out of control. He will sustain us and he will provide for us. Jesus said if he provides for the birds and dresses the lilies of the field so magnificently how much more will he provide for us.

Today I encourage you to stop worrying about the unknown tomorrows or your finances or your challenges in life and bring it all to God in prayer knowing that the most powerful being is your father. God as our father is the source of all life. He gives us life and sustains our life. He provides everything that we need for life. Life by the way was not our invention but his creation and he sustains it well. All we have to do is just trust in our father and know that he watches over us.

So go forth in confidence in knowing that you will never lack anything because God is your provider! Go forth with joy and peace in your heart for you are loved and will never be forsaken!
