Bummer Buster Friday - God's Hand

nGood morning!

If you have a relationship with Jesus Christ already, you may have seen God's hand move directly and indirectly in your life.

For those who do not know Jesus here is a small sampling of God's Word showing how God is intimately tied to each one of us (yes all of us) as image bearers - His creation.

These excerpts of scripture show some of the mysteries of how God works.. 

  1. Psalm 139:14 - “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” - How God made us – unique and wonderful, equipped as He needs us (whether we know this or not). This is true whether you know Jesus or not because all people are image bearers (Genesis 1:26).
  2. Proverbs 3:5-6 - “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” - If we trust God, he will somehow show us the path forward, give us the understanding we need, His understanding, not ours. In following Jesus, we may question at times the path that we are on and where God's hand has us but we can trust that God has us where He needs us.
  3. 1 Corinthians 12:24 - “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.” - Uniquely gifted through the Holy Spirit. This really applies to those who are followers of Jesus as we are told that we will be marked with Holy Spirit when we profess and proclaim Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. However, we know that all people as image bears of God, have been made on purpose with talents, abilities and purpose by God. In Genesis 1:26-28 God commands man and woman to use those gifts to have dominion and fill the earth - using the gifts He gave them.

Each of us gifted by God (whether we know it or not), if a believer, attempting to trust and follow the path of Jesus Christ and trusting God - and if not a believer, those of us who know Him now, know that God is seeking to get your attention, asking you to trust His path. In all of this, God's hand has provided us gifts - both for the unbeliever in how He created you and additionally for the believer, a helper in the Holy Spirit.
 
You have to love that right?!

Lord Jesus, my prayer for each of us as we go into this weekend is that we remember to look for Your hand in our life. Let our hearts be filled by the love this represents that you are pouring out into us (yes for those who do not believe as well). All glory, honor and praise belong to You! Amen!

Have a weekend filled with the Peace that comes from knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
 
Patrick
