Doggo (Lamentations 3:25)

Good morning ladies,

The word of the day is “doggo.”  We live in a pretty hurried up world.  With everything that's going on sometimes it is difficult to slow down.  The lesson I learned from one of my mentors early on was never to neglect God, especially during the busy times.  In fact, many times when we may think that God has forgotten or neglected us, either because he is not happy with us, or that he just has more important things to do, it is really that God is just waiting for us, often doggo and out of sight,  to make a move in his direction, to respond.

“The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.” ~Lam 3:25

My question is: what are the obstacles in your life that cause you to keep from responding to God.  Seeking his will should be top priority, no matter what the circumstances of our lives might be.  I pray that God gives you a yearning in your soul to seek him.  Ask God to stir in your heart a willingness to wait for him.  Ask him to calm your heart and accept his blessings.

Praying for you,

MO

Mercies (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Good morning ladies,

The word of the day is “mercies.” God has always given his people the chance to make good decisions and calls them to obedience in everything that they do.  The peeps in the OT did not always make decisions that could be deemed worthy of God’s approval.  But where God’s people failed… ultimately his love prevailed and continues to do so.

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

~Lam 3:22-23

My question is: Have you taken time lately to thank God concerning his compassion for you and the way that he cares in your life? I know that sometimes we fail to give him the credit for the mercies that he bestows upon us.  I pray that God gives you understanding of his faithfulness… and that you respond to his giving you new mercies every morning.  We serve a great God that is patient and wants only the best for each of his children.

Praying for you,
