Way Maker

Father God,

Thank You.

(5:36 a.m.)

The word [and songs] this morning seems to be “Miracles”

(6:04 a.m.)

Taking it even further, I am now singing ♪Way Maker, miracle worker, promise keeper Light in the darkness My God, that is who You are…♪ Yes! That IS who You are!

Father, thank You that You are ♪here, moving in our midst… working in this place… touching/healing/mending every heart… turning lives around… working♪ Yes! ♪Even when I don’t see it… feel it… You never stop working♪

And Your ♪name is above depression… loneliness… disease… cancer… every other name♪ How blessed are we to know ♪That is who You are♪

Father, how I ask (Matthew 7:7) You to continue Your work in each of us. I confess to needing/taking a lot of practice.

(6:46 a.m.)

Lord, I want very much to live and love as You would have me. I want to be merciful and know You (Hosea 6:6).

And now? Right back to the very first song of the morning.

♪How do MIRACLES just happen like that? Happen like that… Right before I hit the ground some How You came along and found me…Some will say it’s magic But I know that You did all that You’re the reason… There’s no doubt when I feel Your love Call me crazy and out of touch But I know that it’s from above..♪

Yes. Absolutely. From above! Your love. From above.

Thank You Father. It is Your love working in, with, by, through and for each of us to have the hope it takes to get up and face another day. 

There are so very many things that draw our attention away from You. Your glory. Your grace. Your goodness. And greatness (Psalm145:5-8). Continue Your miracles in pulling us back to wanting to know and serve You most.

Looking to You and Your Word, here again I am drawn to wanting to experience “Fulljoy, Man!” Smiling as I explore Psalm 16:11. “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.”

Yes Dearest Lord. It is time spent with You through all these many years that enables me to come to You again and again. Standing in and staying my mind on Your Word of Truth and promises.

Psalm 77:11-15 states it for me well. “I recall all You have done, O LORD; I remember Your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about them. O God, Your ways are holy. Is there any god as mighty as You? You are the God of miracles and wonders! You demonstrate Your awesome power among the nations. You have redeemed Your people by Your strength, the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph by Your might.”

It is absolutely You Dearest God! “You will not abandon me to experience death and the grave or leave me to rot alone. Instead, You direct me on the path that leads to a beautiful life. As I walk with You, the pleasures are never-ending, and I know true joy and contentment” (Psalm 16:10-11 The Voice).

Use me Dearest God. I want to serve You well. Especially during this time of such division, disillusion and discontent. 

I love, need, trust and want You. Thank You for Your teachings. Praise You Dear Way Maker. Amen.
