Grace for the Moment

I realize now, more than ever how important it is to spend time with the Lord everyday. It is so easy to get side tracked in my thinking, in my purpose, in my worries. I need the direction to look toward Christ and to trust Him. When you are in a difficult situation in life, there are so many people that have, what they think, great advise. Some of it is good and some of it is so off the wall, at times I can't believe my ears. I do have to admit there are times when I think I don't have time in my day for a devotion, but I know I need to make it. At times when I feel like I don't have time, (which is really no excuse for me, since I work for the school district and have my entire summer off.) I always read from my Grace for the Moment devotional. It is a devotional written by Max Lucado. This was my devotion from the other day and I wanted to share it with you. I hope this is just a snip-it of your time with the Lord today:)

The Cure for Disappointment

I am the Lord, the God of every person on earth. Nothing is impossible for me.
Jeremiah 32:27

We need to hear that God is still in control. We need to hear that it's not over until he says so. We need to hear that life's mishaps and tragedies are not a reason to bail out. They are simply a reason to sit tight.
Corrie ten Boom used to say, "When the train goes through a tunnel and the world gets dark, do you jump out? Of course not. You sit still and trust the engineer to get you through."...
The way to deal with discouragement? The cure for disappointment? Go back and read the story of God. Read it again and again. Be reminded that you aren't the first person to weep. And you aren't the first person to be helped.
Read the story and remember, {the} story is yours!

He Still Moves Stones

I hope this devotion encourages you how it has encouraged me:)

I'm still trying to figure out how to get a playlist on this blog. I guess you could say I am not a very computer savy person, but I'm trying. Anyway, my favorite cd right now is While I'm Waiting by John Waller. While I'm waiting is one very good song, but the entire cd is awesome and relates so much to my life right now to my life right now.
