Guidance

Good morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the clear day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it!

When I stepped outside this morning, I noticed shadows under the trees and the whole street was brightly lit up from the brilliant moon. No eclipse this morning!

As I walked through the water in the Park yesterday; yes, there were puddles on the boardwalk, I didn't hear any frogs, for some reason. But the trees were still dripping from the rain the previous night, so it was a humid, but enjoyable walk.

Mama gator was not visible, but I think she is hiding behind the big mound of a nest, ready to climb on top when she hears the first grunt. They should be hatching any day now.

Have you noticed all the ibises in huge flocks that seem to be all over different neighborhoods? They are always so busy pecking and looking down. I saw one perched on top of a light pole the other day...he looked so funny up high! God is good!

From the Promise Bible NLT

How can I experience God's guidance?

Psalm 32:8 "The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you."

Psalm 37:23,24 "The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand."

Luke 12:6,7 "What is the price of five sparrows? A couple of pennies? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid: you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows."

Jesus gives this promise to all his followers. If God values the littlest things of his creation, how much more must he value us for whom he gave his own precious Son, When we are anxious or concerned, we need to remind ourselves that God does indeed care about us and is watching over us.

Jeremiah 29:11 " I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

God is always seeking the best future for us. There are times that we delay it through our disobedience, but when we come back to God, he is always ready to give us his best.

I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
