Today, I will reflect on the past weeks' sermons, devotions, prayers, and all that comes to my heart as the Lord had moved in my life... this past week. I want to thank the Lord for caring enough to increase me, to improve me. I am grateful for the abundance, the sufficiency He as provided for me... never too much and never lacking. I am grateful that I am not so low that I would steal for food. I am grateful that I am not so high that I ask, "who is God that I should serve Him"?
The Lord had sent the raven to feed me. He sent the sheep to cloth me. God is greatly to be praised! I learned that I must be faithful with the small things, as the Lord teaches me, that I may become ruler over many. I see more clearly Your will for my life, Lord. Though I know You will have me to receive in the harvest, I would be content to see it from afar. Your grace is sufficient for me.
Less than two weeks ago the work had come to a grinding halt. I had no agenda or direction by which I could receive work. You sent a brother that you had delivered from some of the same sin I had been delivered from. When you sent him, you equipped him with the sufficiency of BOTH our needs, and even in multiple ways. You knew we needed each other, and that we can relate with one another in many of our past experiences. When this man offered me some work, I did immediately recognize your hand in it.
The days progressed and You provided even more. You filled a few of the most important voids in my immediate life, and steered all of this toward provision in the future that I am yet unaware. You are my strength because I have joy in You, Jesus. I appreciate your sacrifice on my behalf. Though I don't constantly feel the depth of contentment relevant to such a graphic death, I daily gleam from that harvest. I am saved. I am delivered. I am healed. Nothing missing, nothing broken.
You led me to a church that has a true passion for furthering Your kingdom. You have given me much needed revival. I renew my commitment to you now Lord, in the name of Jesus. I aim to circulate my entire thought pattern after YOUR business. To model my life after the life of Christ. No matter what tomorrow brings or what it has in store, I will server you, Lord. I will serve you, Lord. I will bring light to darkness. I will bring life to the dead. I will make disciples of the wayward people. I will do this through Christ, because You strengthen me in the Joy of the Lord.
I don't always have to know how its going to work out, but I know that my life is in You, Lord. I know that even the evil intentions will be made for Your perfect will. I know that You will even make my mistakes to prosper. I will be faithful to use the prosperity to bring life to the world and feed the hungry.
I begin this day in Jesus' name, amen.
