Good Morning,
Monday showed up and I wish the weekend had been three days long. I really feel the need for a "Three Dayer! We have one coming up soon and it will be wonderful. My mug is filled with Door County Chocolate Cherry Coffee and it is time to write.
First picnic of the year.
Two weeks ago my friend informed me that his quest to find a job had come to an end. A little short story on this. My friend went through two bad bouts of covid. Two surgeries were mixed in and numerous other procedures. The covid attacked an already damaged neck from years of arthritis and hard work. He also suffers from an immune disorder and crippling migraines. So to say the least his last three years have been more down than up. At times it seemed that he lived in bed. Many people have been praying for the day to come that the pain, headaches, and nausea will be controlled and my friend is now working at a job within ten minutes from home . He will be able to use his people skills once more.
So here is the thought for today. As friends my wife and I have been praying hard and non stop for three years. What are the next steps?
1. We need to be thankful for God's timing and His answers to our prayers.
Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always and for everything to God the father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2. We need to continue to pray against spiritual attacks of future pain discouragement, and discomfort.
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over the present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
3. We need to rejoice with our friend and celebrate his good fortune. To not celebrate what God has brought he and his wife through, would be utter folly on our part.
Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
Food for thought!
Marty
