Always Faithful

It is rare that we can legitimately use terms like always and never. We sometimes use those terms when we are frustrated with things that don’t seem to be going well. One time we can use the term always is in regards to God’s faithfulness. I am so thankful that despite my lack of faithfulness, God is still faithful. This gives me daily hope.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your faithfulness. I am grateful that You remain faithful despite my lack. The hope You provide is so needed for the challenges we face. Please help us to cling to Your faithfulness and remember that hope.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Serving the Lord

We are told in Romans that we need to think of others first. Giving love, preference, being diligent. This passage definitely tells us to put others first, but in the middle of this passage we see the reason. Serving the Lord. While we should definitely put others first. It is ultimately for the sake of Christ.

I have found no better purpose in life than to serve God. I have fulfillment, hope in dark times, and a purpose greater than my desires. Praise the Lord!

Dear Heavenly Father, please help us to put others first for the sake of Christ. Thank You for giving direction about how we serve Christ and love others.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Taste Goodness

Verse 8 gives us an invitation to find out about God’s goodness. It is like tasting a decadent food. There is great enjoyment. Getting to know God’s goodness brings great joy. I am thankful for the blessings that come through knowing and serving God.

I pray my readers have learned of the goodness of God. If you don’t know what that means, please let me know. I would be happy to share Who God truly is with you.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the goodness You have poured on us. Please help me to share this goodness with both those who know You and those who don’t. I need Your help.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Hold Fast

When life is unstable, it is good to have someone or something to hold tight to. I am thankful that God has given us a certain hope for the future. I am thankful for God’s faithfulness that is unwavering.

While God does a lot of things for me, I believe He has given me some commands to follow. This verse is encouraging me to hold fast. I will work on that knowing the beauty of God’s faithfulness.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness. Thank You that I have a certain hope to hold on to. Please help me to hold fast and encourage others too also.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Giving Good

I was the recipient of good this week. A friend from church sold me a nice vehicle that was an upgrade from my previous vehicle. I appreciate that I can trust the seller – knowing this family’s faith in God. We can’t always trust people in society today. I am extra thankful when I know someone who is honest.

God gives us a command to do good to everyone. However, God gives an emphasis on those who are a part of God’s family. I am grateful when God’s family does good for me. I want to watch for opportunities to do good to others. It frequently starts with prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for providing a new to me vehicle through my fellow believer. Please help me to share good with others as opportunities arise. Thank You for blessings through other believers.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
