Be a Good Finder

A recent drive took me through the farmland in my area which was recently hit by a hail storm. The corn crops looked like a field that I would normally see in November after harvest. In situations like these, it is difficult to find a good outcome. We all have storms in our lives which can put us in a spot of not being able to find the good. When we are not able to find the good in situations, we can turn to the word of God to help us. Psalm 138:7-8 offers such encouragement. “7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me. 8The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever--forsake not the works of Your own hands.” Strengthen your faith during hard times while God works behind the scenes to produce a good outcome designed specifically for you. Be an encourager who helps others find the good in storms of their lives.

The month of August has gone by very quickly. The last three weeks seem like a blur. You’ve probably heard that if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. What I had planned for the month certainly did not happen. As always, God’s plan was better because he is in control. He is the master planner. I am continuing to learn to "let go and let God". As I do this, God’s will is revealed through clear thoughts and new insights. God’s divine timing and order becomes apparent. This month I witnessed God working in the lives of many children. He became real to them and now their lives are changed for eternity. I trust even more in the goodness of God.

The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made. Psalm 145:9

Learn From Your Children

This week at camp has really brought to light the scripture, Mark 10:15. There are a lot of very young campers here. It’s amazing how they “get it”. Jesus tells us - “I assure you, anyone who doesn’t have their (children) kind of faith will never get into the Kingdom of God.” I have witnessed this demonstrated all day long here at camp. We can learn great lessons from our children. Children are God’s blessings to us to learn from and to cherish. I have truly been blessed.

Camp begins its third day. Kids are tried, staff getting tired. God is faithful to re-charge us with Holy Spirit energy! Pray that all children will find the truth for their lives.

“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32

As camp begins its second day, I am reminded of this verse. I pray that all I do and all that the staff does with the children this week will be pleasing go God. Pray that all children experience Jesus in a powerful way.

“Those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.” John 3:21

As always, God is faithful. God took care of all the details and afforded me time to get ready for camp as well as get all my loose ends tied up. We are packed and laving for children's camp this morning.

Pray that all children will experience Jesus while at camp.

As you go, proclaim the good news. The kingdom of heaven has come near. Matthew 10:7

Parent Wisdom
Today is a new day. Unless I let go of yesterday, I cannot experience the full measure of God's grace. I cannot connect with my child when I am worrying about tomorrow. I encourage you to take time today and enjoy God peace and joy. Your child will appreciate you for doing this. God will rejoice and you and your child will be blessed.

God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. Genesis 1:5
