I am so thankful that our sons know, and I mean know, the Lord. I am so very thankful that Curt and I have brought our sons up In Him. I am so thankful since Adam was born, God has been a constant presence and the foundation of our family.
I am so thankful that He is with them always. That they aren't ever without Him. It's a great big world out there. One that isn't always fair, or kind, or pretty. But, I do know that our sons look for the good in all situations - they count their blessings.
I take this verse, not only for them, but for myself as well. In all areas of life - God is here with me. With both Curt and I. I was thinking about all the work He has lined up for us, how are we going to get it done! If I allowed myself to take my focus off of Him, I would be most anxious and stressed! I haven't even gotten our April end of the month billing done! Planning to this week. Have to - or we won't get paid!!!
What I really love most about these verses is, "He won't walk off and leave you in the lurch". He's the captain of the ship and no matter what - He stays with it.
"He's at my side until every last detail is completed for the worship of God."
This doesn't just pertain to a building - it also pertains to your heart. That's what He desires - my heart. He wants it to be completely in worship of Him.
As I strive towards this goal, I look around and see the "family" of craftsmen and artisans He has supplied in my life to help this become a reality. I see how He also provided "His family" for the kids in their new homes. Although I miss them like crazy, I have such a peace knowing He has them where He needs them to be planted. Just like Curt and myself. We all follow His lead - and He is using us.
"His family" - no matter where we are or go. All we have to do is, "say the word" and they'll come running. That's how He works - He doesn't just horn in - He waits to be invited in.
All we have to do is, "say the word".
