Inspirations

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.

God does not say “whoops" nor does he say, “I didn’t see that coming.”  You and I are often surprised by the twists and turns in life,  but the all-knowing God never is.  When Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit in the garden,  God was not surprised.    Nor was he astounded when a shepherd boy became a king.    And when the King of Assyria invaded, he was not blindsided in the least.  In fact, he was working His plan even in the things that no one could have expected  or seen happening.  James puts it like this, “Now listen, you who say,  “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city,  spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”  Why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.  What is yo...
