Good evening my friends, what a great day for my blog it has been, it has had more hits today than any other day since I began. When I started this blog I asked God to allow me to touch the heart of 1 person in need, just one I asked and then I would know that I was doing my part in spreading his beautiful love! Since beginning my blog people in countries all over the world have come and read the words I write, many have thoroughly surprised me, and I have had so much positive feedback here in the United States that I have no doubt that this is what our Father in heaven is prompting me to do and I know also that he is using me to be a vehicle for spreading the words he so needs to put into writing!
Today there are so many prayer requests, mostly for the heavens to open up and pour healing rains upon the burning and drought stricken lands of Texas, many for strength and safety for all those involved in trying to contain the fires, so many prayers for the ones who have lost possessions, who have lost animals and those who are struggling with the losses of loved ones due to this travesty! I have prayed all day for renewed faith, for those who may be looking up and blaming God for all that is going on! A good loving father would never put his child's hand over an open flame to teach him that fire burns! Likewise, God is our father, and as any good father, he only wants to teach us using good instructional methods to protect us from harm....not cause it. Matthew 7:11. It is not God we should be blaming, it is our adversary the devil or satan who causes these things. 1 Peter 5:8 says, "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." and in John 10:10 it says, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy." "I have come that they may have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." Never doubt his love for you, never think he wants anything but good for you, always remember it was his son that he sacrificed so that you might have everlasting life! I also have had many requests today for prayer outside of the fire arena, there are several who have lost loved ones today, one who was hit and killed on a bicycle, several who have been taken to the hospitals with threatening conditions. We must never neglect to lift all prayer requests to the Lord, I feel if a person is humble enough to come and ask for prayer, it is our duty to honor them by doing so. God bless you all each and every one! In the name of Jesus our savior, amen.
