Our vacation is almost over...it seems like we just got here a few days ago. We can't complain though because we've had a fabulous time here with Amy's family and we got most of our teeth fixed as well. That was Amy's and my birthday presents to each other. We were told of this awesome little town not far from Yuma across the boarder that caters to the snow birds as they are called, where you can just about get anything done for a 1/4 of the cost. It was God's blessing to us to have wonderful family who helped us through the process, thanks Linda!
Who cares enough about you more than you're God. My thought for Today is about how God understands. You may think my little thought about getting teeth fixed is trivial because you have something bigger going on in your life. But God's got your back wherever you maybe today. The Lord understands what you are going through because He has been where you are. The Bible says: 'This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do...So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.' (Hebrews 4:15-16 NLT) That means: (1) Jesus understands your family problems He had a family of His own. And on one occasion they said, '...He's out of His mind...' (Mark 3:21 NLT) (2) Jesus understands when you feel overwhelmed 'Then Jesus said, "Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile." He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and His apostles didn't even have time to eat.' (Mark 6:31 NLT) Jesus not only dealt with on the job pressures, He had to organize, train and correct His own followers, including a group of uneducated fishermen, a bigot, and a despised tax collector. (3) Jesus understands when you feel rejected The town He grew up in had no use for Him: 'He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.' (John 1:11 NKJV) When Philip said, 'We have found the one whom Moses wrote about... He is Jesus...from Nazareth,' Nathaniel replied, 'Can anything good come from Nazareth?'(John 1:45 GNT) And Jesus' family tree was nothing to write home about either. Rahab was a prostitute, Jacob was a crook, David was an adulterer - to name just a few. Yes, Jesus understands. He knows where you're at today and He's able to help you. So talk to Him! Even little things like how am I going to pay for my, or my families teeth, God understands! You are loved...
