Are You Being Prepared?
August 15, 2017
The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and . . . the bear will rescue me.
1 Samuel 17:37
I worked at a fast-food restaurant for over two years in high school. Some aspects of the job were difficult. Customers verbalized their anger while I apologized for the unwanted slice of cheese on the sandwich I didnt make. Soon after I left, I applied for a computer job at my university. The employers were more interested in my fast-food experience than my computer skills. They wanted to know that I knew how to deal with people. My experience in unpleasant circumstances prepared me for a better job!
Young David persevered through an experience we might well call unpleasant. When Israel was challenged to send someone to fight Goliath, no one was brave enough to step up to the task. No one but David. King Saul was reluctant to send him to fight, but David explained that as a shepherd he had fought and killed a lion and a bear for the sake of the sheep (1 Sam. 17:3436). Confidently he stated, The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and . . . the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine (v. 37).
Being a shepherd didnt earn David much respect, but it prepared him to fight Goliath and eventually become Israels greatest king. We may be in difficult circumstances, but through them God might be preparing us for something greater!
Lord, help me to hold on during the unpleasant times in my life knowing that You may be preparing me for something greater.
God uses present circumstances to prepare us for the future.
When you reflect on experiences in your life, can you identify any that God used to minister to others or to further His kingdom? Are you in a difficult situation right now? Ask God to help you learn from it and to trust Him for your future. J.R. Hudberg

I bought Penny a new fluffy pink plush bed as her old bed was falling apart. At first, she wasn’t sure if it was OK to sleep on because it didn’t smell like her old bed, but once she tried it, she LOVES it, and it has become the new default position in place of the couch.
Such Joy and Peace for $22.95!

Well, “Turn” wrapped up on Saturday night, and I enjoyed the narrative on what happened to the key characters after the Revolution. Watching Robert Rodgers drink himself to death in London was a hoot. John Graves Simcoe becoming an enlightened ruler in Canada was a delightful surprise. It was a good four years.
