11-2-20 THOUGHTS

I’m considering 73 years of my life.  It hasn’t all been good, but it has all worked together for good!  God has always been near!  Ps 119:151  You are near, O LORD, And all Your commandments are truth.
2Thes 3:5  May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.
Jas 5:11   We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and [is] merciful.
WE, of all people, must SEE THE OUTCOME OF GOD’S DEALINGS...  
HOW BLESSED TO BE HIS CHILDREN!    Proclaim His GOODNESS!
Rom 8:24-28    For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25  But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. 26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27  and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28  And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Rom 8:34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
Heb 7:25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Eph 1:18-20    I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19  and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 20  which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

My Prayer:
Oh God, how you have blessed us.  You bless us continually.  Be near to us Oh God, be our rock and sustain us with your eternal being.  We desire your presence now and eternally.  Hear our cries, for we are needy.  Thank you for great and precious promises.  You are faithful and care for us always.  Thank you for Jesus.    We pray in his name.            Amen.
