Thank You for Your Design

 Thank You, Heavenly Father, for You have designed such beautiful weather and sunshine and scenery these past few days.  You set me up with a wonderful Christian brother yesterday and gave me the courage and wisdom to speak to him.  i will remain still and avoid the distractions that detract from any service You are about to assign me.  i will wait on Your time.  At times i want to move but i know i must wait on You.  i may not have visions because You'd prefer me to have dreams instead.  



You help me to look beyond my own confidence and that of others who follow You as well; "Yet surely my just reward is with the Lord, And my work with my God." [Isaiah 49:4] What other goal besides being in heaven with eternal salvation do i need?  Here on earth, just to have this connection and awareness of You is enough.  The blessings bestowed upon me through the blood of Jesus Christ allow me to finish whatever i start when i get to be with You in heaven.  "You shall be my salvation to the ends of the earth. - [v. 6]

Man hated You first and they hate You even more and more now.  i am willing to take the brunt of that hatred now.  Hell, i might even be put in jail, betrayed.  If that's in Your plan, then so be it.  Help me to be simpler, so that i won't be puzzled.  Give me the wisdom to be loyal to the truth of Your word.  The strength and perseverance  to stick with it, to not lose interest and fall back to the old ways.

i am serving You, thanks to You.  May i continue to grow where You've planted me.  i dare not slap Your face with cares and worries because when You died on the cross, that's the gift i treasure now.  Thank You for the greatest gift i could ever receive!
