Just One Good Thing

Woke up this morning with nothing specific to do
I feel well, clothed and in right mind
Don’t want to waste the day with idle time
So Lord, give me something to do (Ephesians 2:10)
Something that will reflect on You
Even if it’s just one good thing

Even one thing would positively impact a life
And help make someone’s day bright
It could be a kind word or smile
It could a small deed for someone in need
Or spreading your word, about You I could teach

Just one good thing
That will make me feel used by you
Will make my purpose for the day fruitful
I can help spread the good news
Of all the wonderful things You do
So, Let me be used by you.

Insight

I woke up one morning with absolutely nothing to do; to the point that I had to ask God what was my purpose for waking up. He reminded me He has plenty of work to be done even If it means just positively touching the life of one person for the day. So my prayer for that day became Lord, use me today to glorify You.
Matthew 25:35-36 says For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

God Has Your Rainbow

Feel so down and so low
As disappointments only grow
Wondering where can I go
Want to hide, I’m embarrassed so

But in a small voice I’m told
Look up! don’t hold your head low
God has your rainbow
That will shine so beautiful

The time to see you don’t know
The wait may seem too long
But God has your rainbow
So, to faith hold on

You’ll marvel at its beauty of colors
When the rainbow does come
Then you’ll want to tell others
That He’s such a wonderful One.

 

Insight

A rainbow represents a bright spot in an otherwise dreary day.  When life gives you dreariness, don’t look down, look up, God will bring brightness.  He’ll bring you a rainbow to brighten your day.  Or give you beauty for ashes Isaiah 61:3

Missing You

We had our battles especially when we first met
I didn’t believe your love
But as the conversations became longer
My trust in you got stronger
And I found that you were sincere
Even though your actions could be weird

And then we became close
You told me everything I should know
And I shared about me what was going on
And we talked all night long

Then suddenly, you’re gone
But I don’t question God’s actions
Of life, I know He is in control (Genesis 2:7)
I’m just missing you so

Miss talking about what’s on TV
Miss what was discussed to eat
Miss your laughter
And our gatherings
May you be blessed in Heaven.

Insight
Life and death are in the hands of God. Here are some examples.
God created all life. He created human life by breathing into the nostrils of man as stated in Genesis 2:7.
God sustains and extends life. In Isaiah 38: 1-5, Hezekiah prayed that he wouldn’t die. The Lord heard his prayers and extended his life by 15 years
God revives life. Many times Jesus raised the dead. In John 11:1-46 Jesus brought Lazarus back to life from death.
God ends life. Many of us know a point in someone’s life when all the prayers, medicine and everything else couldn’t keep the person alive. For God gives and God takes away (Job 1:21). And Jesus said in Luke 12:7 that the very hairs of our head are numbered meaning that we don’t have the ultimate decision over our lives.
