Day 3
I reject the opinion that religion is an opiate, a crutch, a fantasy, or worse, irrelevant. Again, I respect others’ belief systems, or the choice to believe nothing.
However, and eternally, I maintain that God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform, because I have seen it fulfilled. I call His way Godincidences, because they have proven true in my experience, and with astounding clarity, frequency, and intentionality.
Today’s Scripture: “I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things! The Lord’s right hand is lifted high; The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!” (Psalm 118:13-16)
Prayer: Precious Father, I thank You that You have brought me to an understanding of Your power, Your control of all aspects of the universe, and even the day to day pieces of my life. You have promised that all circumstances will work together for Your glory. I thank You for times You have sustained me, You have protected me, and You have blessed my life with safety, peace, joy, and thanksgiving because I relied on Your strength. Help me to be faithful in trusting You, and to be filled with gratitude for Your faithfulness in return. In Jesus’ powerful Name. Amen.
