What Has God Done








Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.    Psalms 107:21











Have you ever stopped and thought about everything the Lord had done?  

Wow!  

I think If I were going to list them all, 

It would take more time than I have, 

more ink than I could acquire 

and more space than I could imagine.  

If we started with the creation of the world, 

God was there speaking things into existence.  

As we read through the Bible, 

we see God at work in the Old Testament and the New Testament.  

He saved Noah from a devastating flood; 

He gave children to the childless.  

He provided salvation for us.  

But there are so many other wondrous deeds. 

In fact, God has done wondrous deeds in each of our lives.   

He leads us.  

He keeps us safe.    

He gives us breath.  

He gives us food, 

clothes and a place to stay.  

I thank God for the time he kept me from getting hit 

when I ran out in the road in front of a car.  

I thank God for getting me through school.  

Thank you, God, for the man and helper that you brought into my life.  

I was an outcast and labeled a loser by my others my own age, 

and yet miraculously, 

you brought the two of us together and wonder of wonders, 

you gave me four children.   

These are just a few of the wondrous deeds you have done in my life.  

There are many more, 

and I am thankful to my God, who performs such excellent works.  

The fantastic thing is 

that each of us has our own set of 

wonderous deeds that God has done.  

What has he done for you?  

Thank him.

Live Fearlessly

                                   As I was driving home today, I passed a person walking on the side of the    road.  Since it was cold, and snowy, I thought I should stop and offer the person a ride.  As I drove on by, I was irritated with myself for not stopping.  I could have and should have but I didn't. Why?  I was scared! Maybe that wouldn't bother you, but I'm willing to bet there are things that make you afraid.  It may be snakes or spiders that send the ticker into  overdrive.  Or maybe it's your job and finances that keep you up at night when you should be resting.  Then again perhaps it's relationships that consume your thoughts and energy.  As followers of God, we know that we are told not to be afraid.  Yet we often are afraid despite everything we know.   As I was driving away from a missed opportunity, I began thinking about what it is that makes us afraid.  I honestly am not sure what it is that causes us to be afraid when we should be bold, but I

Tragedy: A Christian Response

I want to start by telling you a story.  We were new parents.  When Our oldest, a son, was about eighteen to twenty months we had another baby, a girl with brown hair and huge eyes.   One day as I went to feed her, my son who may have been two at the time wandered off to another part of the house.  The next thing I heard was a thud.  I grabbed my baby girl and ran to see what happened.  There was my son with a table on top of him.  He had pulled it over on himself and more blood than I had ever seen was running all over.   We put him in the car and dashed for the ER.  It was not a fun trip. He had a skull fracture and many stitches.  Fast forward about fourteen or fifteen years, I’m at a stop light and watch my youngest daughter about ten start across a street on a bike start across a street just as a truck comes around a corner into the path of the bike.  She hit the side of the truck and bounced onto the road.   I grabbed her up and checked her over there were no injuries, but

The God of Order

  Yesterday, my children and I went walking on a bike trail.    The weather was perfect.   Sunny, warm but not hot.   As we were walking, we started to talk about creation.   Creation itself always amazes me.     Can you imagine watching creation unfold at the word of the Almighty?   It would be   the most glorious and lovely thing to see.      As we were talking, I asked,  “What do you think would have happed if  God had created people first?”     They stopped  gave me a questioning look then my daughter said, “I suppose that we would have starved because there was no food.”     And we all had a laugh creating  other scenarios for what might  have happened if creation had happened in any other way.      Yet, the   fact is that creation itself demonstrates that God is a God of order.   Each day of creation built on   what had been done the day before.    It also reminds me that God wants our lives to be as orderly as possible. God planned creation before one word was spoken
