Have you thanked Him?
Have you praised Him?
Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?
Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?
1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)
The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.
I'm just like you in so many ways.
I've had my share of tears, had my share of rainy days.
But through it all the greatest lesson that I have learned,
Is to just let God be God on those little days.
And He'll be God there on the bigger days.
Why do we wait until things go wrong,
When we could have him by our side all along?
Let God be God in the best of times, and He'll be God
When you're going through the worst of times.
When you need God to be there on the bigger days, pray on the little days.
It's more than a book sitting on a table.
God can change your life, He's willing and He's able.
Oh, but we keep Him small and then we stay the same.
But we could change the world by calling on His name.
Let God be God on the little days.
And He'll be God on the bigger days.
Why do we wait until things go wrong,
When we could have him by our side all along?
Let God be God in the best of times, and He'll be God
Through the worst of times.
When you need God to move in mighty ways.
When you need God to be there on the bigger days, pray on the little days. – Mark Bishop
Had an amazing breakfast yesterday with a “new” friend, now sister and colleague. The Lord has connected us in preparation for a large event coming to the Miami Valley in April but it is clear that the LORD has intersected us for more than just that.
Each of us have had our share of challenges. Each of us have had our moments of despair and calls for courage and now have been given some very unexpected platforms to do our best to take those experiences and learnings GOD has afforded us to help other folks.
…we can come alongside those who are in any painful trial. We can bring them this same comfort that God has poured out upon us
2 Corinthians 1:4 (TPT)
And yet it was as we were wrapping up that last cup of coffee and closing things out that my friends shared the impact of the little lyric that opened today’s OFH.
Go back up and read it again.
Embrace its truth and promise.
Especially this little refrain.
Yeah there are ups and downs, and the seasons turn.
But through it all the greatest lesson that I have learned,
Is to just let God be God on those little days.
And He'll be God there on the bigger days.
Each of us have had our tough seasons and yet each of us have learned that GOD is ALWAYS GOD, He ALWAYS comes alongside. He is ALONGSIDE you today.
Trust that TODAY!
Lean on Him.
Don’t wait for TROUBLE to let Him be GOD.
Don’t wait for the BIG stuff to open His WORD and your HEART to what He has for you today.
No, rather RECOGNIZE that GOD is ALONGSIDE today even if it is a “little day” and be GRATEFUL HE has provided EXACTLY what you NEED for it!
Take it from a couple who have seen Him come alongside FAITHFULLY in the BIG and small. Wherever I go, (GOD) your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me. – Psalms 139:10 (TPT)
Love ya much!
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
