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 misse...

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....

Thank you God for Leading us

Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends,  coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time. Still other times it was a gentle tug,   a whisper to our heart to move  in one direction or another;  intuition or a sixth sense that one   way or another was right or wrong    Yet, when I listened and obeyed   I found the way was clear, distinct and easy to follow. You never leave us to guess which way to go.                                                                                                      ...
