Enjoyed my tutoring today–a 6th grade article about women inventors: windshield wipers! who knew?, and completing a fractured folk tale: The Three Little Pigs done by a 4th grader with cats and dogs. Fun. I really like the statement on my Daily Reflections page from Guidepost today: “We don’t always need to know where we are going as long as we know whom we are following. God is in control. Even when we wind up in strange places or unusual circumstances, the Father is not caught by surprise.” –Mike Clay
Isn’t it awesome that unlike the Greeks and Romans who tried to please the capricious and unpredictable gods we read about in their mythology, we have a God who has revealed himself to us through his word, and we have access to that word each day. I am so thankful for the privilege of, however finitely, understanding that He is sovereign, that He loves us so much He is willing to share Himself with us, and that we mere mortals, tainted with our worldliness, can depend on His guidance when we remember to seek it? No matter what our circumstances, He is closer to us than even our thoughts. As Deirdre says in my book, “Christ is as real to me as you and I sitting here. He’s closer tome than hand and foot. He owns my life and my every thought day and night is to serve Him with all I am and all I have and all I hope to achieve. Yet, as He gives me guidance, there is more love where love already is. It increases to include everyone I meet, every task I undertake, and every brief encounter each day. It’s like my Christ antenna is always seeking ways to glorify Him and bring his Kingdom’s finality.” My hope for you, reader, is that He sustains you with that strength today, and that whatever you are facing, whatever challenges you see on the horizon, our God is not at all surprised by them, and knows just how to guide us through or around them to His honor and glory.
