DEAR GOD: Blessings From Above~

 

Jesus my lighthouse

 

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

1 Peter 3:12 KJV

Our amazing and powerful God is everywhere.  He sees all.   Most important, He knows each and everyone of us, His children…and what is in our hearts.

He is our refuge. He is our Rock. He is our Lighthouse.  He is our sanctuary.

He listens to prayers and watches over us with love.

He is faithful to us and His promises live on through our faith and obedience to Him. I had received an email that was a strong “witness” to God’s love and power posted by Dannie a Medical Missionary.   She was asking for prayers and her letter updating those of us praying that God performed so many miracles...yes, they still happen to this very to this day.

Bear in mind, God is the same as He was from the beginning of time.  He is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and always.

He is the great I AM I AM.

He is the ALPHA and OMEGA.

He is without beginning and no end.

Psalm 5:12 (NKJV)

For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

When we pray, not only for ourselves but for others, we are pleasing God, and grace showers down upon us.  God was pleased with Solomon when He prayed not for himself, but for wisdom in how to rule as a king. (1 Kings 3:5-14)

 God was so pleased and granted his desire and prayer…he made him the wisest king of all time recorded in the Bible and the richest.

Let us learn to pray, not for ourselves only, but for others. And His grace be with all that love Christ in sincerity.

The Divine blessings will pour down upon us through Jesus Christ, the righteous and just One. Just as it did upon Israel through David, whom God protected, and placed upon the throne.

When we speak from our heart and go forward in confidence that God will protect us, and never leave or forsake us, we are showing our love and trust that He will supply all of our provisions.  He will give us what we need, when we need it.  In His time.

So…if something doesn’t seem to work out the way we feel it should.  Remember this:

God’s timing is perfect. Ours is not.

God’s plans are perfect. Ours are not.

God knows what is coming down the road.  We don’t.

So…remember that next time you think a prayer isn’t being granted.  Remember God has something much better in mind.

His ways are not our ways. Nor are His thoughts our thoughts. Then sit back and watch God work.

And in all things…give thanks and praise to the LORD always.  

Amen~

 

 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV)
