Better late than…

A sleepless night and a day booked all the way through and, here we are. But it is a good reminder to me that not everything must happen like clockwork and that life happens.

And, thankfully, God accepts our offerings — our prayers and our devotion at any point in life.

Sometimes we are waylaid and bound up. Maybe we are distracted or lost. Maybe we are otherwise occupied — we might even be doing very important things.

There are times we have made some plans for God — we expect Him to show up in a certain way. Surely He is absolutely there, wherever it is, but we have an expectation on the “how” He is supposed to be present. He isn’t ever late. He isn’t never waylaid or bound up. He’s not distracted or lost or otherwise occupied —

But, sometimes He does not show up in the way we wan’t Him to.

Lord, let me trust in the how, when, and where that you choose for my situations. It may never looked how I imagined but it can be even more beautiful if I let You work things out in Your time and Your way. Let me completely trust You with my days. Amen.

Today’s PrayerPoint ~ Psalm 19

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.”   Psalm 19:1-3

I have always been amazed at the night sky with all of the stars and their constellations. It seems to be the most amazing out in the country on a clear night with just the sliver of the moon. Although a night sky with harvest moon is stunning. Nebraska has some incredible sunrises and sunsets. I have visited quite a few places and they each offer some unique element of beauty and, yet, they all share the heavens. God’s creation is amazing: the expanse of it, the beauty of it, the coordination of it, the intricacies of it! It is amazing how no words can be spoken but how full of information the heavens are.

Hopefully, in the next couple of days, you will get a glimpse of something amazing in the heavens. Keep your eyes open! The are times I am busy or distracted and I simply do not notice what is there, right before my eyes. But when I do take the time to see, appreciate, and acknowledge the beauty that God has created, it brings comfort to me–to know that He, who can do magnificent works, cares about me. It helps me keep things in perspective.
