God Keeps His Promises – yes that is a truth that I can appreciate – and one that is a section title in the new book I ordered from Amazon about JOSHUA – by Stephen Lennox – the sermonist who delivered the very meaningful sermon to my ears and life fears at the time – “FEAR NOT” Dr Lennox said – which God said – which Joshua heard – which the author of the book of Genesis heard – which we are all to hear – which I hear.

God is FOR us – and God keeps His Promises – I mean we realize that He kept and keeps our biggest one of Grace and Mercy with Jesus saving our souls – so why wouldn’t He keep all the other little and big promises too – like Jeremiah’s there is a plan for you – and all those promises of taking care of us that Jesus used even the birds to demonstrate and the flowers who are splendidly dressed so why should we worry what we wear let alone eat – and eat we do of His Bread of Life…

So, if God is for us – well, why would we worry – but we can WORK and put our negative energies into something creative or at least not destructive…

Last Thursday I went late to drop off some boxes that my work folks had created and decorated from a project to celebrate kids in the Foster system. I stepped late into the unknown BIG building and prayed that I would be OK dropping them off and clearing out just that much more of a section in my packed car. Especially to get these kids these treats…  We want to connect the blessings we have with the well wishes for them and thank the people who do the amazing tasks of taking care of these children. God is FOR us and for sure God is FOR these children and there are many agencies who look after children.

The security guard hit the wrong button on the elevator and I found myself on the 4th floor not 5th – and in a school open welcoming space with not one soul – and I wondered if this was the right place and if I should just leave the boxes – I decided to start to write a note – and luckily blessedly three people came by just then and redirected me (and used their badges) to the next floor up. Whew – and there was a person still there – and the boxes were delivered – whew.

I found that TRUST and that security was beneficial and comforting – then again seemed TOO trustworthy for my actions even though I know there were cameras everywhere….

But isn’t that true of God too – He trusts us – He certainly sees us like better than those cameras – and He can reach out to us too – and send help. I wonder if we all could just remember that He watches us all the time and try our best…

I wonder…

I hope…

I pray…

God keeps His Promises – one of them is to WATCH us!

and LOVE us.

AMEN
