Lord of the Moment
November 29, 2018
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.
Proverbs 16:9
Not long ago I was working on a construction project at my sons home three hours away. The job took days longer than expected, and each morning I prayed we would finish by sunset. But every evening there was more to be done.
I wondered why. Could there be a reason for the delay? An answer came the next morning. I was picking up a tool when my phone rang and a strangers voice spoke urgently: Your daughter was injured in an accident. You need to come immediately.
She lived near my son, so it took just fourteen minutes to reach her. If I had been home, I would have been three hours away. I followed the ambulance to the hospital and comforted her before surgery. As I sat holding her hand I realized if my project hadnt been delayed, I wouldnt have been there.
Our moments belong to God. This was the experience of a woman whose son God had resurrected through the prophet Elisha (2 Kings 4:1837). She left the country because of famine and returned years later to beg the king for her land. At precisely that moment the king was conversing with the prophets servant Gehazi. Just as Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had restored her son, the woman walked in (8:5). Her request was granted.
We dont know what even the next second brings, but God is graciously able to use any situation for good. May God give us grace to walk with Him expectantly into His appointments for us today.
Thank You, Lord, for the gift of my life. Help me to be Your faithful servant.
Our lives are better off in Gods hands than in our own.
Todays text demonstrates Gods sovereignty in directing human affairs. Another example of Gods divine direction is seen in the account of Joseph (Genesis 3741). At the end of his story, Joseph comforted his brothers who had grievously harmed him (45:5) and said, You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good (50:20 nlt).
The apostle Paul says, In all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).
How do these examples help you trust God as the Lord of your moments?

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Well...we made it through hump day.
And it’s going to get cold for just a few days, we had snow today, and then more rain this weekend. Hope your weather is better.

Good evening, radu...hope you are warming up some, and less wind.
Rain on my way to work, several hours of snow during the day, and a mess when I try to go home.

Howdy, Kathy.
Just as cold today as it was yesterday but there was no wind. It SUUPOSED to be pretty warm tomorrow but then they said it was SUPPOSED to be warmer than it was today. We’ll see if the weatherman gets tomorrow right.
It sounds like you’re going to have a sloppy, slippery mess to drive home in. BE CAREFUL!!

Apparently Otto the Great Dane has gone missing, and the owner is beside herself with worry.
Have you checked the horses or cows? The dang old shambling galoot could be out on a wild weekend...
Goofy critters.
