Scripture – 2 Kings 3-4, Psalm 138 & 2 Peter 1-3
Observation – Psalm 138:8
8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.
Application – Out of all the reading today, this one verse really stuck with me. The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me – I find that really encouraging. Especially today. I’ve been praying so much about what to do for our next adoption and I’m finally beginning to have peace about it. Not that $25,000 has dropped from the sky, but the fact that I can rely upon God’s guidance to direct me (and our family) means that I don’t need to worry. I’m very confident about that. I’m also getting excited because I think that there is so much more for me to do in regard to other adoptive families. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I know God is moving. Adoption is so beautiful…all I have to do is look at my Little Goose to see that. It’s just funny to see what it took to get me to this point. Well, maybe funny isn’t the word…funny, sad, ridiculous, insane, but the whole time it was all for a purpose. All for a reason.
Prayer – Lord God, thank you that you will fulfill your purpose for me. I know that at times I’m more willing to cooperate with you than at other times. I don’t want to get in the way of your plans for me. As I seek you, please make things clearer. I long for more of you, more of your Holy Spirit in my life. Help me to be the wife, the mom, the daughter, the sister, the friend that you have made me to be! Thank you, Lord!
