On day four in the workbook, you created a list of 20 ways God revealed Himself through scripture and deeds. If you are not already doing so, you may want to consider journaling His deeds, His blessings , or scripture that He has placed on your heart. As we saw in scripture this would allow you to maintain a history of His deeds Recalling to share God’s deeds from generation to generation. In my case, this list provides encouragement when needed.
Enjoy this next week and be astonished by God and see Him in the details of your day.

Last week I was at Garden Ridge and encountered a horrible display of racism from a very angry man toward a young black employee. When I left the store and was driving home I was so upset by what I saw and heard and was asking God how in the world He could love that man. How in the world He could stand to look doe on evil like that and show love. Immediately the Holy Spirit spoke into my heart, "Your sin is just as ugly as his and he doesn't even know me but you do." Wow. Talk about humbling. I see the wonder of God in that moment when in His great love He chooses to gently teach me and help me grow even more into the likeness of Christ. I am awestruck by his amazing love for a sinful person like me and all people on this earth.
ReplyDeleteMany, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.
