Psalm 116:1-2
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
What of Today’s Verse…
Understanding the Lord’s love and nearness should lead us to serve him and continue our relationship with him. While we love God for many reasons, we want to express our love to him today especially for his personal concern for us.
Let us Pray:
Father who knows each hair on my head and thought of my heart, thank you for hearing my prayers. Thank you for answering so many with the answer I sought from you. Give me patience when I cannot see your hand in other situations. I believe and trust you are there and working for my good even when I can’t see it. Please strengthen my faith so that I will never outlive my trust and faith in you. Through Jesus I ask this. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Beyond the obvious…
There is more than one side to every situation. You don’t want to overlook the obvious, of course. But don’t let your comprehension of the obvious blind you to those things which lie hidden.
There is much opportunity in looking beyond the obvious. In every piece of bad news, you’ll find positive possibilities hidden somewhere, if you’ll just make the effort to uncover them.
Get in the habit of asking yourself what else there is . You can turn any negative situation into a positive opportunity by knowing how to look past the obvious. When something is troubling you, force yourself to consider what is positive about it. You’ll find it if you look.
Anyone can see the obvious. That’s why we call it obvious. Make the effort to see beyond the obvious, and you’ll find a wealth of hidden treasure.
