I will admit that I would like to be in total control of my own life and sometimes in the lives of family and friends! Today's devotional is a good reminder that "You will never be in control of your life circumstances, but you can relax and trust in my control." What I need to do is be more closely connected to my Lord and "Be on the lookout for all that I (God) have prepared for you." I am regularly reminded by my spiritual director that we need to watch out for those "nudges;" many times they are God's way of leading us to His Will and Way.
I have heard today's scripture from Romans 8:38-39 read
in sermons, at the hospital bed side, and in times of joy. What
blessed assurance to know and believe that NOTHING will separate us from the love of God!
I am also reminded by today's readings of the words in the beautiful hymn, "Take My Life and Let It Be." I pray that you will join me in making this our prayer during our worship time today.
Do you have other scriptures to share that give you reassurance about God's Presence and Love? Please share with me and others as that is something we ALL need!
