How Wonderous He Is!

Today, I have been doing some thinking about our wonderful God! He is amazing and has done so much for me! He has always brought me through. He has brought jobs my way and made them easy to acquire. I have watched my loved ones win two custody battles, which seemed impossible at the onset. He has meet my needs over and over again. He has saved my life on more than one occasion (I almost completely fell through the ice as a five year old where I wouldn't have been found till spring and I walked away from my car being totaled by a semi). These are just a few things that God has done for me.

I have been thinking about a few amazing saints that God has put in this world to benefit us. A few of the saints I mention my not have benefited you personally but I am sure you can think of a few in your life, as well. One is John Wycliffe (My husband and I just watched this movie). He is responsible for the English translation of the Bible. He did it back in the 1300's and was labeled a heretic for it. I get to read the Bible for myself because of the courage of this man. Another is the Apostle Paul. This Jewish man wrote a large majority of the New Testament and preached Jesus to the Gentiles. The precious words he wrote are still ministering to us today after thousands of years. He was not very popular with many of the people he grew up with, survived shipwrecks, and was imprisoned amongst other things; so that the gospel would go forth. A few others are my amazing pastors. They have striven to be the best they can be and consistently encouraged me. My irreplaceable parents have been a constant blessing in my life. They worked very hard to be sure that I had all my needs met and I was blessed beyond. They have done so much for me and have continued into my adult life. Who are you thankful for today?

I have also been thinking about my future today. There are a few things that I am uncertain of. One example is where I will work. But I am certain that we have been called without repentance. God will not take back our calling no matter what our current circumstances are. It is not determined by how the market looks and the number of jobs available currently in a certain field. It is determined by Him who is the author of our dreams. I have been enjoying Jeremy Pearsons on the Believer's Voice of Victory this week. He is talking about "How to Live Bold Beyond Uncertainty." It has been full of great and timely reminders for me. Perhaps you are facing some difficult circumstances in your life. Remember God is always with you and He loves you! He is the King of all Kings and can help us overcome any circumstance in our lives. It doesn't matter what we have done or not done. We are what matters to Him. All we have to do is look to Him and put our future in His hands. It is a step by step walk of faith. This walk is not always easy and our steps our not always clear but He who walks beside us knows the way!
