When I was an elementary school teacher, I spent my summers working for a temp agency.  Mostly I did office work for different local businesses, and even spent one summer helping out in the temp agency office.

I left teaching at the end of a school year to have our first child (who was stillborn in December).  That left me looking for a job in the middle of the school year.  The temp agency placed me in the offices of a hospital downtown, which eventually led to a permanent job with the hospital.  I ended up working there for almost three years.  Not only did I enjoy the job, but I met some wonderful people who blessed my life.  The job also turned into work I was able to do from home for a couple of years once I became a full-time mom.

I could never have imagined how all that would play out, but God knew.  He put everything into place at just the right time.  Hopefully you can look back over the years and see how God has orchestrated events in order to accomplish His will in your life.

Genesis 24 is one of my favorite Bible stories.  Abraham is sending Eliezer far away to find a bride for his son, Isaac.  Eliezer isn’t sure that he’s going to find a woman willing to leave her home and travel back with him to wed an unknown husband.  As the servant prepares for his journey, Abraham says in verse seven, “The LORD God of heaven….shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.”

We see Abraham’s faith evidenced here.  He’s trusting God to work out a situation over which he himself has little control.  He’ll be sitting at home, waiting to hear how it all works out.

Arriving at his destination, Eliezer prays that God will send along the right woman.  I love the boldness of his prayer and how specific he is in his request!  He asks for a woman who will bring him a drink, and also offer to water his camels.  Then, before he’s even finished praying, Rebekah approaches.

Not only does Eliezer get a specific answer to his request – he gets even more.  The woman who arrives to fulfill these requirements is a member of Abraham’s extended family.  The servant says, “…I being in the way, the Lord led me…” (verse 27).

God always prepares the circumstances for His will to be accomplished.  If there’s something God wants to take place in my life, He will prepare the way.  His timing will be perfect.  He’ll put the people in place around me that are needed to make His plan work.

Of course, I typically want to work it all out, to see ahead of time how each step will unfold.  But my part should resemble Abraham’s.  I pray, I trust, I rest.  As I study God’s Word and seek His face in prayer, I’ll realize anew that He can arrange things far better than I ever could!

Just as Abraham was seeking the best for his son, so I want the same for our daughters.  I pray about college selection and career choices and future husbands, if it’s God’s will that they marry.  Can I trust like Abraham did?  Yes, God can give me the faith I need to allow Him to guide and direct in their lives.

Are you facing a situation that has some uncertainty in it right now?  God will prepare the way.

And when you look back in the months to come and see what God has done?  Be like Eliezer in verse 26.  “And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord.”  Remember to give thanks for the way God has brought you through and shown Himself mighty once again.

May this truth give us peace as we entrust our future – and that of our families – to His plan.

Trusting His Grace When I Can’t See His Face

We know that life is full of peaks and valleys.  Sometimes a single day has its fair share of ups and downs!

If you want to see the whole range of human emotions laid out in the Bible, run to the Psalms.  David can go from the depths of despair to praising the Lord profusely in a matter of a few verses.  He’s not afraid to share his fears, his joy, his anger, his doubt, his hope, and his failings.

One of the things I love about David’s Psalms is how he shares his view of God.  He sees God as a rock, a refuge, a shield, and a fortress.  He praises God by highlighting different facets of God’s personality.  Today I want to look at one of those verses from Psalms where David describes our Lord.

“The  LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.”  ~ Psalm 118:14

The three “s” words in this verse caught my attention.

1.  He is my strength.  In time of need, God is my anchor and my rock.  He gives me courage to face whatever today may bring.  I often think that I’m strong all on my own, but in a moment, a trial can knock me off my feet.  No problem I face will ever be greater than God’s ability to handle it.

He gives me the power to resist Satan’s attacks and to overcome the weaknesses of my own flesh.  God’s resources of power are unlimited.  If I don’t access them, it’s because I’m failing to ask for His help, not because He is weak.

2.  He is my song.  Almost every morning, my husband is whistling or humming a song as he gets ready for work.  I’m sure he doesn’t automatically feel that happy when he gets out of bed every day.  I sense that he’s making a choice to positively focus his thoughts in order to start the day with joy.

God can give us that song in our hearts.  There may be days when it’s hard to move that song up out of our hearts and onto our lips.  Yet I can have gladness in my soul as I find my joy in Him.  He provides the underlying melody for my life.  He offers joy unspeakable, peace that passes understanding, and love that never fails.

3.  He is my salvation.  Because I have trusted Jesus as my Savior, I have eternal salvation.  However, the Lord is also my salvation from the sin with which I struggle today.  Through His Spirit’s power, I can overcome my troublesome tongue, my grumpy attitude, my pride, or whatever sin that tempts me.

God also offers me salvation from going my own way as a Christian.  He can keep me from taking wrong steps if I’ll just look to His Word for direction and ask for His wisdom in prayer.  I’m thankful that His salvation is not only for my past sins and the future of my soul, but for my present life.  I know that He watches over and protects me as His child.

The longer I live this Christian life, the more I see my need for Him.  How thankful I am for God’s faithfulness and the reassurance I find in His Word!

What Does It Mean to Delight in the Lord?

We all have those times in our lives when we feel utterly undone.  Every day just seems to bring a new burden.  Or perhaps negative emotions threaten to bury us.  It could be grief, sickness, a jam-packed schedule, disappointment, or fear.

When that happens, I know where I need to go.  It may not be what I feel like doing in the moment.  But I’m writing this down here in hopes that I’ll look back and find encouragement in these words when I’m struggling through one of those seasons.

I’ve based this prayer on what I read from David in Psalm 61.

O, God, hear this prayer of mine.  

I’m in a place I’ve never been before, and I’m overwhelmed.  I can’t see my way out.  Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.  Set me in Christ, my Savior.  

You’ve been my shelter in the past; shield me once again.  I know I can find refuge in you.  Help me trust You, lean on you when my strength is all gone.  Let me have full confidence in your protection.  

Measure out your mercy to me; I need it so much.  Allow the truth of your Word to flood my mind and keep me safe from all the fears that want to take me down.  

At the end of it all, dear Lord, let me praise your name.  Have this situation bring you honor and glory.  May I live every day, no matter how difficult, with a song of praise on my lips.

On the day that I was studying this chapter, I also read this hymn.  I thought they fit well together!

Is there a heart o’erbound by sorrow?
Is there a life weighed down by care?
Come to the cross, each burden bearing;
All your anxiety—leave it there.

Refrain:
All your anxiety, all your care,
Bring to the mercy seat, leave it there,
Never a burden He cannot bear,
Never a friend like Jesus!

No other friend so swift to help you,
No other friend so quick to hear,
No other place to leave your burden,
No other one to hear your prayer.

Come then at once; delay no longer!
Heed His entreaty kind and sweet,
You need not fear a disappointment;
You shall find peace at the mercy seat.

~Edward H. Joy, 1920

5 Bible Verses to Encourage You in Your Prayer Life
What Hannah Teaches Me About Prayer

How often do you take time to just praise the Lord?  I find when I ask myself that question that the answer is “Not enough.”

Yes, I add to my written “gratitude list” regularly.  I try to remember to thank God when I see a prayer answered in my life.  But sometimes I find that I’m still in the spotlight at those times – whereas if I’m praising God, then all the focus is on Him.

Praising God can take the form of music, which is uplifting and ministers to my soul.  Meditating on words from the Bible that give praise to God also encourages my heart.

Here I’ve gathered ten passages that are centered on praise.  I didn’t type out the entire passage, but included a verse(s) that I particularly like.  Many of the selections below contain praise to God for the works He has done as well as praise for His attributes, Who He is.  I hope to keep that same twofold focus as I offer my own praise to God.

1. Exodus 15:1-19  Here Moses recounts God’s victory over the Egyptians at the Red Sea.

The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. [verse 2]

2. I Samuel 2:1-10  Hannah praises God after the birth of her son Samuel.

There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. [verse 2]

3. II Samuel 22  David is the author of so many praise passages!  Could his emphasis on praise be one of the reasons David was called a man after God’s own heart? (I Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22)  Here he is praising God for delivering him from his enemies, including King Saul.

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.  For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?  God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.  He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.  [verses 31-34]

4. I Chronicles 16:7-36  Celebrate with David as the ark of the covenant returns to Jerusalem.

Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.  Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.  For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. [verses 23-25]

5. I Chronicles 29:10-20  David speaks to the people about his son Solomon becoming king, and the temple he will build for God.

Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.  Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.  Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. [verses 11-13]

6. Psalm 103  I love that the Hebrew word for “Psalms” is “Praises.”  Here’s a psalm of David.

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: [verses 1-2]

7. Psalm 145  At one point, I wrote a post about this being my favorite praise passage.

I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.  Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.  Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. [verses 1-3]

8. Isaiah 25:1-9  And when it comes to favorites, Isaiah’s the prophet I most like to read.

O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. [verse 1]

9. Luke 1:46-55  Mary’s Magnificat, or hymn of praise

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [verses 46-47]

10. Revelation 5:8-14  This scene is set in heaven.  Yet another reason to spend time praising God here, to get ready for doing it in eternity!

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. [verse 12]

Are there are other Bible passages that you use to praise God?  I’d also like to gather a list of hymns that praise God, so let me know if you have a favorite one of those as well!

What Mary Teaches Me About Praising God
Praying and Praising with Scripture
Praise Ye the Lord

You know the old expression about getting the cart before the horse?

Well, I think that’s what happened when I recently wrote my post about how reluctant Lot was to leave Sodom.  In spite of all the evil that surrounded him there and the coming destruction of the city, he lingered.

However, if we back up a few chapters in our Bible, we get a better feel for how Lot made decisions.  I think that makes his hesitation a lot clearer.

You likely remember that Abram’s and Lot’s herdmen were arguing about the lack of land for their animals to graze on.  Here was Abram’s solution.

“And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.  Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”  (Genesis 13:8-9)

It’s decision time for Lot.  Does he pray about which way to go?  It’s not recorded that he did.  Here’s what we do know.

“And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.  Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.”  (Genesis 13:10-11)

Wow – like the Garden of Eden!  Having just been to the Grand Canyon, I know what it feels like to be moved by the beauty of a great view.  And seeing all that fertile land must have looked like hitting the jackpot if you want your flocks of animals to prosper.

In the world’s eyes, Lot just made a brilliant decision.  From a human standpoint, we’d say, “Lot, you’re sure to be successful!  You’ve got these beautiful fields for your animals to graze on.  You’re close to a city where you can purchase anything you could need or want.  You and your family can enjoy the finer side of life.”

Then we read this in Genesis 13:12-13.

“Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.  But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.”

When we first read about Lot’s decision, we see what looks good in the here and now.  What we don’t see right away is the end of the story.  We couldn’t necessarily predict how Lot’s decision would affect his life, and the life of his entire family.  If we could know in Genesis 13 how the sad and sordid story would play out in Genesis 19, we certainly would have warned Lot.  We’d ask him to reconsider his decision.

What about Abram, left with what must have looked like the inferior option.  Was he discouraged when he saw what he was left with?  I don’t know.  But isn’t God faithful, in the very next verses, to remind Abram of the promise He’d made to him?  In spite of what the world might think – perhaps that he got the raw end of the deal – God knew the end of the story.  He knew that Abram would be blessed.

“And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:  For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever….Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.  Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord.”  (Genesis 13:14-18)

So how do you and I make our decisions?  Are we tempted to be like Lot and take the option that looks like it will benefit us the most right now?

The Bible says that the wisdom of the world is “foolishness with God.” (I Corinthians 3:19)  We have to think past the now, the present, to where this may potentially lead us and our families.  Our choice has to be based on more than what looks good today.  Our decisions impact our children.  We can’t see the end of the story from where we are currently, but God can.

I think we know where to start.  Prayer.  It’s back to James 1:5, and asking for the wisdom God promises to give.

Then get wise counsel.  Those who’ve been doing life for a longer time and in a Godly manner may be able to see ahead in ways that we can’t.  When we’re wrapped up in a difficult situation, we can lose perspective.  I have to wonder if Lot’s story would have had a different ending had he asked Abram’s advice on what to do.

Finally, let’s make decisions using our “future” eyes instead of our “now” eyes.  What seems to be the easiest or most obvious choice to make today may not be the best decision in the long run.  Think through how your decision could play out, both positively and negatively.

As we seek God’s will, may our story end like Abram’s did in this chapter – resting in God’s promises, and with a heart ready to worship Him.

7 Promises of God to Carry Me Through the Week

Some nights I have a few minutes to read in bed before we turn out the lights.  I recently decided to try reading a chapter in the Bible during that time.  It’s not an “I have to do this before I go to sleep” thing, but I do like the idea of having God’s Word be the last thing going into my mind before I fall asleep.

I started at Genesis 1.  I’m using the Bible app on my phone, so it automatically opens to the chapter I need to read next (and I don’t have to try to remember where I left off last time!)  Genesis appeals to me because its stories are about people who sometimes struggled in their faith.  I think we can all relate to that in some way!  Since there’s no rush to get through the Bible in a particular time frame, I’m trying to really think about the story that’s unfolding as I read.

So I ran into Lot earlier this week.  What an interesting character.  I probably see way too much of myself in his story.  He focuses on what looks good on the surface, makes selfish choices, and tries to fit into a world he’s not made for.

You know the story.  Lot’s living in the midst of a wicked society in Sodom and Gomorrah.  God has decided to destroy those cities because of their great sin.  Abraham, Lot’s uncle, hears about God’s plan, and pleads for the city to be spared if there are a certain number of righteous people living there.

Two angels visit Lot the night before God’s punishment is to be unleashed.  They tell Lot to warn his family about the impending doom.  Morning comes, and the angels tell Lot to hurry.  He needs to leave so he won’t be consumed along with the city.  And here’s where I paused in my reading.  Genesis 19:16.

“And while he lingered….”

Why Lot???  Why are you lingering?  Don’t you remember what happened just last night?  Those men who wanted access to your angel visitors were right outside your door.  Then, when you didn’t turn the visitors over to them, they said, “This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them.” [verse 9]  Is this a place where you still want to live?

Why do you want to stay?  Is it because your wife is so enamored with the city?  Or perhaps it’s because you’ll be leaving behind family and friends, maybe great possessions?

Yet before I’m too hard on Lot, let me take a look at my own life.

What is God is asking me to do that I’m holding back from since it would mean giving up time I want to spend on something else?  Could there be a place He wants me to go, but I hesitate to leave the comforts that I have now?  Is He asking me to give something up – a pastime, a habit – that I’m still clinging to, but need to release?

For whatever reason, Lot was reluctant to leave the city behind.  So is there anything that I’m unwilling to give up?  Is there any area in which this world has too much of a hold on me?

Let’s not be slow to obey God’s command or His call in our lives.

Since Lot lingered, the angels “laid hold upon his hand.”  Why?  The rest of verse 16 tells us.  “The Lord being merciful to Him.”

In spite of those times when I allow worldly pleasures to distract me from what I should do, God is merciful.  How thankful I am that His mercies are new every morning!!

I want to round out the story by looking at Abraham.  We know that in chapter 18 Abraham was basically pleading with the Lord to spare Lot.

What if it was my child who fell prey to the allure of Sodom?  I certainly hope that I would be as sincere and persistent in my prayer for her as Abraham was in his request for Lot.

And while I’m so grateful to say that I’m not in that circumstance right now, how much like Abraham can I be in praying that our girls will walk with God daily and not be drawn away from Him?

What did the angel tell Lot in Genesis 19:22?  “ Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither.”  The power of Abraham’s prayer and the faithfulness of God to Abraham meant that God wouldn’t act until Lot was safely out of the way.  My prayer can have that same impact as I pour my heart out to God on my daughters’ behalf.

Finally, Genesis 19:29 says, “And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.”  It wasn’t for Lot’s sake that God saved him, but for Abraham’s.

I’m challenged today to pray for my children in such a way that God will remember my prayers when He seeks to work in the lives of my children.

A Prayer for Wisdom in Parenting My Children

Yes, I’ve admitted it here before, and now I’ll do it again.

I have to fight against pride.

Once in a while, we may run across people who openly brag or boast about themselves or their accomplishments.  In those cases, pride is pretty obvious.

But I don’t think that’s usually how it works for me.  (Or at least no one’s ever told me so!)  Mine is typically an inward thing.  It’s the thoughts that run through my mind, the silent judging of others as I compare myself favorably to them.  Having a much higher opinion of myself than I should gets me in trouble way too often.

Pride also comes through when I decide to rely on myself to get through whatever I’m facing.  I don’t see my need for God, either because I don’t take the time to think about asking for His help, or because I think, “I’ve got this.”

So what do I need to be portraying instead of pride?  One simple word.  Humility.

The definition of humility from dictionary.com is “a modest opinion or estimate of one’s own importance.”  Well, that’s a lot to chew on.  It’s also a perfect segue to Romans 12:3.  “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think…”

If I’m going to be like Christ, humility is an important character trait to have.  Let’s look at Philippians 2:5-8.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”

In Lysa Terkeurst’s book, Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely, she shares a story about an event she attended.  The short version is, everyone there seemed to already know each other.  So she ended up sitting at a table alone.  As she reviewed the situation later, she wrote the following:

“Anything that infuses us with humility is good.  Even if it feels a bit like humiliation in the moment, the workings of humility within are a gift.”

We’ve probably all been in a similar situation.  But I’ve certainly never thought of being alone in a crowd as a chance to be “infused with humility.”  I haven’t seen it as a gift.  Yet God can use times like that to work humility into me.

I like how she follows that up with this thought.

“The only difference between humility and humiliation is that one chose to bow low while the other tripped and fell there.”

We’ve probably all experienced humiliation as well, but most likely we didn’t choose it!  I want to choose humility over pride, as hard as it may be.  Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”  If ever there was motivation to rid my life of pride, that’s it.  I want to avoid destruction for sure!

Finally, when we’re willing to live in humility, to let go of our self-importance and our pride, we can learn this lesson.

“…on the other side of the stripping of pride are some of the best gifts God gives us.”

The Bible reminds us that on the other side of humility we find wisdom.  Proverbs 11:2 tells us this.  “When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.”  If I think I know it all, I’m not searching for true wisdom.  When I realize how much I need wisdom – for marriage, parenting, service – then I am brought low and am actually able to receive wisdom.

As counter cultural as it may sound, I want to live in humility.  This is definitely not a battle I can win on my own.  But, to quote 2 Corinthians 2:14, “…thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ…”  As I yield to the Holy Spirit and allow him to work in my life, humility can get the victory over pride, and I can take another step toward becoming more like my Savior.

At some time or another, I believe most of us get to a place where making a difference in others’ lives becomes a priority.  For some of us, that might come earlier in our journey than for others.  For me, it’s more acute now than it ever has been.  Maybe that’s because I’m finally admitting to myself that I’m middle-aged.  (Yikes!)

No matter how old we are, where we live, or what our day-to-day job is, we can have a ministry.  I like this definition of ministry I found on Bible.org – “The faithful service of God’s people rendered unto God and others on His behalf to bring Him glory, build up His church, and reach out to His world.”

So what is my ministry?  And who am I supposed to serve?

In her book, Loving my Actual Life: An Experiment in Relishing What’s Right in Front of Me,  Alexandra Kuykendall shared this “Philosophy of Ministry.”

“Ministry is whoever is at the door or on the phone.”

Really?  Is that it?  I thought ministry needed to be big and important, like going on a missions trip or heading up the children’s program at church or volunteering at a homeless shelter.  Those are all great things to do and wonderful ways to serve.  But ministry is often “smaller” (in our minds), less grand, and just a part of our every-day activities.

So there’s actually a somewhat simple answer to my question, “What is my ministry?”

I can choose to minister to whoever God puts in my life today.  It’s one person at a time.  It’s my husband, my children, the receptionist at the doctor’s office, the school secretary.  Who’s right in front of me that needs a word of encouragement?  Who needs to hear the words “I’m praying for you?”  Who am I talking to on the phone that just appreciates a listening ear or would accept my offer to bring over a meal?

Galatians 6:10 says, “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”  I want God to be able to trust me to be faithful in my ministry.  As He places people in my path, I want to be responsible to see the need, and to help and uplift where I can.

And let’s not forget why we’re ministering.  I might want it to be so that I feel good about myself or can get a pat on the back.  Yet that would be the wrong motive.  Ministry and service are to point others to God, to bring glory to Him.

When we open our door and answer our phone, let’s look for our ministry opportunities today!
