GOD Provides

I was blessed and honored to be able to give the offering devotion last weekend at the three services. (I sure don't envy the pastors having three presentations over a short period).

During our formative years (which goes on today and into the future for me) we go through "stuff" that we don't always like, but as we are refined, God provides. Do we always see it that way? The half empty or half full glass story. For Sharron and I it has been half full to overflowing because of God and His provision and we pray the same for all of you. But, as that "stuff" is going on, is our vision clear enough to even see the glass??

I hope and pray that we all take time to reflect on the gifts God has given each and everyone of us, because He has. Of course the next step is to turn around and share that gifting with others because we are told to in our current series of study from Ephesians.

I know this sounds like preaching (and it is) but it is what is on my heart especially at this time of year with the Joash Chest offering coming up Nov. 17/18 and the following week Thanksgiving.

May you continue to see and appreciate what He has provided for you.
