Guidance

Good Morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the hazy day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! I could not see the stars or moon or even the sky clearly, when I stepped out a while ago. Perhaps God will bring us rain today!

I walked along the butterfly garden at the Park yesterday and saw a butterfly fluttering its wings as it flew by - ..black and yellow ones, yellow, orange and black ..all are so colorful!

Then we stood and watched the baby hawks moving about in the nest and heard and saw Mama fly by calling loudly! God is good!

From the Promise Bible:

How can I be sure God will guide me?

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 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
