When was the last time you sat in quiet contemplation of everything the Lord has done for you?…Gently reflecting on, and thanking Him, for the many blessings He’s bestowed in your life. Too often, we take for granted just how far He’s brought us… until we stop and take the time to remember, and then thank Him.

Matthew 8:16 ” When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Him, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.”
If you profess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and have the Holy Spirit dwelling within…you have that same authority Jesus used. You can pray for others with all boldness and courage, believing they will be healed. Miracles happen when we pray in the name of Jesus
Romans 8:28 ” And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
In other manuscripts this well-known verse is translated…”And we know that all things work together for good, (or bring about what is good) to those who love God.” The Lord can bring about something useful, profitable, and beneficial from the most dire and serious situation…when our simple human minds can only see the bad, He is still working for the good. Joseph’s brothers sold him off to a passing caravan, and though their intentions were evil, the Lord was still in control of the final outcome. In Genesis 50:20, by then in charge of the whole land of Egypt, Joseph told his brothers…” You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” No matter what it looks like right now…the final result is solely the Lord’s.
Luke 1:34 ” How can this be, Mary asked the angel, since I am a virgin?”
Elizabeth was the wife of Zechariah. She was old and barren. But the angel of the Lord came to Zechariah and announced that Elizabeth would have a son. Six months later that very angel visited Mary and told her the same mind-boggling news. When Mary asked the angel how this could happen he told her of Elizabeth and stated,”For nothing is impossible with God.” Luke then states that Mary got ready and hurried to the hill country of Judea to Elizabeth’s home. Why? This shell-shocked young pregnant teenager needed answers to questions, and Elizabeth was the very best person to answer them. Only Elizabeth could relate to what was happening to Mary, and God knew that only Elizabeth and her wisdom could prepare Mary for the path ahead. The Lord will bring Marys into your life also…searching young people who need you to share your grace, mercy, love, but most importantly your Godly wisdom with them. You will be the very best person to answer their questions. Be that Elizabeth to them.
