SCRIPTURE - For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation. (niv)
OBSERVATION - God is always with us, talking to us, and gently guiding us. He doesn't go away when we mess up, no matter how big the mess is.
APPLICATION - This verse reminds me of the Footprints in the Sand poem. If you haven't read it, take the time in quiet meditation to read it and reflect of your own footprints along life's journey. I remember those times myself that I thought for sure that I am truly on my own here in this big world. If I wanted to be successful, I would need to do it myself with positive thinking and mental imaging. (Does that sound like a lot of self help books?) It didn't take me long to realize that it is the Lord that provides everything including that small one dollar tip. The Lord has always found favor in all of his children, it's just a matter of if we walk with him.
PRAYER - Lord thank you for being there for me every day. Thank you for all the blessings you have provided me, from my wife, to my pastor, to my friends and to all the blessings that you know I need. Thank you Lord.
YES - I do not walk this journey alone. Grab someone along the way and show them how satisfying it is to walk with the Lord.
