I am at a place in my life where I can see what is meaningful and what is not. I can see what is important and what can wait. I can see God comes first in my life and all else falls into place. People think that you have to show them what you are doing in life, so they can see that you are worshipping God. I worship God for what he means to me, even if I am sitting on a park bench knitting. I am still in His presence. I can careless what the world thinks of me, I care what God thinks of me.
God sustains me, he's my rock, my comforter and my all in all in the middle of the night when all else fails me I know he's there no matter what. God is not just to worship on sunday morning service, he is the true God that we love and worship 24/7 all day every day. Each week day I see people in such a hurry to exit the train when it arrives at the station. They are running to catch the next trasit car or bus to get to their destination without regard for those trying to get to their destination also. We are so busy with our routine that we don't stop and smell the roses of life and look at what God has created in this universe. Or to just say good morning or offer to help someone along the way. I find myself talking to total strangers at times when I am least expected. When I am on the train, at a concert or just in the grocery store God will use me to add them to my prayer list. God puts people in your life to do His will, what do I mean, someone maybe having a bad morning and needs an encouraging word. Someone may need to laugh at something to take their mind off of a pressing issue.
I remember those hard knock days of distress and wondering which way was up. Thank God for a praying mother and grandmother who knew the Lord. We have all been there and continue to be at times as long as we are on this earth.
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come.
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Roman 8: 38,39.
