“For from Him, and through Him and to Him are all things.”  Romans 11:36

It is sometimes easier to get a grip on the from Him and the to Him than the through Him.  The beginning and the end of it all is beyond us.  But in between those two eternal points is the life that we live right now.

LIve it for Jesus – the author, the finisher, the perfecter of our faith. 

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12

Our little dog died suddenly tonight, in a freak accident. We buried him out at the edge of the yard. We held hands and prayed around the little grave. This event, painful though it was, is a reminder how short life is. So teach us, dear Lord, to number our days…

I read this today, and it stayed with me: “When an opportunity presents itself to go on a mission trip, it does not need to be preceded with prayer.”

This is true if one is already “prayed-up”. If we take care to improve our personal relationship with God, His desires will become our desires. This is surely the meaning of Psalm 37:4: “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”
