Miracles

 


I cannot count the miracles that meet me everyday

From waking in the morning til at last I slip away

Into the peaceful rest of sleep I find in Christ my Lord

That knowing Him without reserve His comfort does afford
 

But sadly sometimes doubtful of His working in all things

I lose the deeper blessing that His grace is offering

And let my mind slip into that which takes my peace away

And lose sight of those miracles that light my path each day

 

Forgetful of the promise that all things that come from Him

Are worthy of my focus on just how He works through them

In miracles I cannot see but will see one day soon

When Christ returns in glory if I keep my heart in tune

 

With His through daily study as I grasp His thoughts through prayer

And grasp the many principles for life He wants to share

That help me see there's so much more to living life each day

Than just the things that folks pursue that help them find a way

 

From one day to another adding age but not much more

Not really sure just why they're here or what they're living for

With sadly no connection outside of the ones they know

Who likewise are as lost as they with no place left to go

 

Beyond this place we're living in that soon will meet its end

And with it all the lonely folks that had not met my Friend

Who called them daily to accept His Gift nailed to the tree

The tree that held the Lamb of God Who died for you and me

 

To grant to us the miracle of grace that does not rest

But works for us in unseen ways through every trial and test

To make and mold and fashion us to be the more like Him

Embodying the character that is the more like them

 

Who fill the realms of heaven seeing everything we've done

That brought the greatest agony on Christ the Father's Son

But by grace is forgiven through His mercy crowned with love

That is the motivation of the ones who live above

 

The clamor doubt and worry of this world that's here today

That soon will be but just a wisp when sin is burned away

And all the mighty miracles not seen are then revealed

And shown for what they truly were for those the Spirit sealed

2 Corinthians 12:9-10; Romans 8:24-28

Let's pray-


     Father, we don't know all the miracles that You bless us with everyday from morning until night, but help us know that You're working in all things for our good. May we not lose sight of the miracles that we can see to increase our peace and comfort.

   We sometimes forget You promised that You work through them and that one day we will understand when Christ returns in glory. Please keep our hearts in tune with You through daily study, and help us grasp Your thoughts through prayer.

   May we see there's so much more to living life with You each day, than pursuing things that other folks find to be of interest, which fail to show the way to You. They are adding age, but not much more, and are lost, with no place left to go.

   All lives will meet their end, and all the lonely folks will soon meet my Friend, Who daily called them to accept His Gift that was nailed to the tree, the tree that held the Lamb of God who died for them and us.

   We ask for the miracle of grace to work in unseen ways through our every trial and test, that we may become more like Jesus in character. He sees everything we've done, and has given us grace to live more like Him each day.

   We will see all the miracles You've performed for us, beginning with the greatest agony of Christ, Your Son. For through Your grace and mercy, You've crowned born-again believers with love and the promise of life eternal.

   For our Salvation, being the biggest miracle, we give You thanks! We pray today in Christ's name, for Him to receive glory through our living. Amen

Quote for today-

A successful marriage doesn't happen by chance. It takes commitment, sacrifice and a great amount of determination.
Save this and refer to it often.


Today's guest post-

Overcome Panic with God

 Victoria Peace Green

I heard the hummingbird’s frantic wings beating and witnessed its panic.

My routine morning quiet time happens just outside my bedroom door. In springtime, I leave the French doors slightly open. The little circular table to the right of the doors is where Jesus and I come together before the day gets going.

One day, chaos broke loose just inside the door. Looking up to the loud vibrating in the corner of the room, I could barely tell what was happening. A hummingbird had found its way through the slightly ajar doors and was terrified.






For CFC Sunday services 10 or 10:15, and the recorded daily devotions.
