I just now finished reading and praying over that very passage of Scripture in my personal devotions this morning! I am in awe of how our gracious God through His Word and Spirit "works all things together for good to those who love Him and are Called according to His purpose (Romans 8:38)." What never ceases to amaze me is that He does it down to the minutest detail! Even here, even for me, even with this one word of Wisdom from His Book, even through FR and through you to me, Mayor! O! Awesome, glorious Father! Thank You for Who You Are and How You Move on our behalf as Your Children in Jesus Christ Your Beloved!
My prayers are focused on my brother's family and specifically his wife and how my sister and I and our dad can help them in their functional family dynamics. It is such a delicate matter and previous attempts to "bind up" and to "restore" and to "heal" have not been successful. Oh, what wisdom and gentleness is needed!
I can't thank our Lord enough for the happy moving of His Power and Love this morning through that specific devotion and through you, Mayor!
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that! you may be able to discern what is best! and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.
Philippians 1:9-11 NIV
Now, if that's not manifest evidence of the God of my Salvation Who is Intimately Acquainted with me and all my ways, then I don't know what is! (:
Oh, thank You, YOU! My Father, Lord, and Husband! My Brother and Best Friend! My Counselor and Teacher and High Priest and Intercessor! Hallelujah to the King of Kings! You are Faithful and You are True! You are so incredibly Gracious and so Compassionate! Thank You, thank You, thank You!
Kitty Mittens, my dear Sister, your prayers for me have contributed to this Grace. Thank you, my darling.
