Aware, Part 2

I don't always get God's message. Or sometimes I get it and forget it. Or sometimes He demonstrates the same message in another way or area in my life. Today is a day like the latter. In my last post, I shared Aware by Salvador. It was truly my hearts cry to see God at work around me. Life had gotten so blurry and I NEEDED to SEE Him at work in my life. Of course, God showed up. He always does.

Today's message was about God's daily bread. "Yesterdays blessings are not sufficient for today. We cannot live on stale grace of our yesterdays. All they do is serve to remind us that God met our needs then for His glory and our growth in a way that was best for our life." Today, God wanted me to be AWARE of his provisions... my health, my family, my career, my church... the big things even down to the small things... my creative mind, my love of books, my heart to reach others. He has provided all of those things. Without those things, I would not be ME.

"Through The Bread of Life, Jesus Christ, all things become evidence of unmerited favor from a Lord who knows our needs." God's Best for my Life. I don't deserve any of these things. Through Jesus, God chooses to bless me.

"When you set out to find me in a day, you discover that the world is vibrantly alive with my Presence" Jesus Calling Why don't I do this naturally?

John 10:27- My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me.

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. ->This doesn't mean that Paul only causes pleasurable things to a Christian. Rather that in the tough situations, God can use the overall plan for good. NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD. Romans 8:38-39.

Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Today I want to find God in the day to day routine... the rain as I sit on my front porch, the treasured time I have alone with Him, the laundry, dishes and cleaning that needs to be done, the family time set aside for today. God MAKE ME AWARE.
