Ephesians 5:20 – Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. (Matthew 6:32) God knows what you will need even before you do. He knows what is going to happen and will be there to protect you, and guide you.
This past week my husband had to go to a business meeting quite a distance away. It was approximately 90 minutes away without traffic. He called when he arrived and called when he was about to make his way home. As always, I said my prayers for his safe return, and waited. The next call I received was when he was at our mailbox, “Well the good news is I’m home. The not so good news is the car burst with water and there is rattling and really loud noise.”
Well, the first thing I said was “Praise You Father for getting my husband home safely, and picking the mailbox, right in front of our place to break down!” Isn’t HE AMAZING!!!
His Hands are always upon His children, and His love comes shining through all the time. My heart beats with love for this FATHER of ours! For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:24)
I just wanted to put this post together to give thanks to our King of kings, and Lord of lords. He is the biggest treasure we can ever have in our lives. He knew what was going to happen and through His grace He granted my husband unmerited favor by allowing it to happen SAFELY.
Turns out it was two busted water hoses(the flood he spoke about) and axil & boots (the noise my husband heard) which could have caused some major trouble on the highway. So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU FATHER. To you all glory and praise, now and forever.
Have you thanked him today for something you were annoyed about? Perhaps not realizing He helped you out?
Have you thanked Him today for some minor inconvenience that stopped you from getting to a place on time? Perhaps it was to protect you from harms way.
Have you thanked Him today for all of your blessings, both big and small? Have you really thought about your blessings? I mean really thought about them and not take anything for granted?
Well, if you have…I’m sure you’ve made our Father smile.
If you haven’t He’s listening ALL the time…go!
