In What Ways Is God Taking Care of You?

Every individual and family will experience a crisis at some level in due time. A crisis may appear totally unexpected, creating surprise, confusion, and sadness. It is possible to diminish the impact of a crisis by realizing there are ways of managing a response when it does come.

God is in the business of helping us when we seek his guidance in every aspect of life. Psalm 32:7 provides these assuring words: “You are my hiding place. You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” When a crisis occurs, help is available.

Counter weaknesses with your strengths instead of delaying to take action. Permit challenges to be a blessing by realizing change is needed. Take care of your body, for it is the temple of the Holy Spirit. In this season of Thanksgiving, praise God with gratitude for his love, guidance, and provision.

God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you…Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you!…Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.

~Psalm 63:1,3,7 New Living Translation

New Year Hopes: How Do You Anticipate Your Near and Distant Future?

What situations do you anticipate you will encounter this new year that will be welcomed? Anticipation also foresees the probability of events that might be unfavorable. This coming year assures us it will be one comprised of political and social issues that will either agree or disagree with our beliefs.

We regularly evaluate our lives to assess what needs to change or be modified. As we evaluate and appraise situations and people, we must then decide what impact they will have on us. So as you approach this new year, what help do you need from God?

As you anticipate your near and extended future, are there particular promises you need God to fulfill for you? 

Matthew 6:32 provides assurance of God’s care. “Your Father in heaven knows what you need, so set your heart first on God’s kingdom and his goodness and whatever you need will be provided.” Happy New Year!
