Now
may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought
back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you
with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing
to Him, through Jesus Christ to whom be glory forever and ever. Hebrews
13:20-21
As we take apart
the verses above, there are precious words for us, words to consider as we walk
out the door day by day. Our God is a God of peace. He will calm our nerves,
take away our anxious thoughts, as we learn to trust Him.
God raised Jesus
from the dead and that very power of the Holy spirit now lives within us as
believers. He equips us with everything we
need. I love the reminder stated in the last part of the verse. HE works it out
in us. Relax into those words and let Him take over. Continue to receive His
love, His word, His guidance and He will
work out what is pleasing to Him. Let the glory belong to Him for everything
good.
And God equips each
of us in a variety of ways. Talking with a good friend yesterday reminded us
that we each have our abilities and gifts used to please Him and others. Take
heart. God is with you and will use you in special ways.
When I began
writing daily blogs, the plan ws to try to write for one year. Here we are
eight years later!. Not sure where the time has gone, but God is full of
surprises. I am taking a few weeks of,
both for a get-away vacation with my husband and for some time to relax and
rejuvenate. Keep praying. Stay in God’s
word. And I will see you back here very soon. Thank you for spending time with
me. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Jesus,
Teach us Your ways. Work in us what is pleasing to You. Guide
us away from the patterns of this world. Help us to rise above it all as we
focus our sights on You.
Amen
