"For thou are the glory of their strenth: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted." Psalm 89:17
Isn't it a great morning to start expecting the favor of God to show up in the details of your life? This statement at the end of today's devotion really stuck with me. I never really expect God's favor but am constantly awed by His work in my life. On Friday, I watched as my daughters were blessed with recognition for their academic and music accomplishments. Then on Friday night, through teary eyes, I watched my eldest daughter complete her education at a school that has been as much of a family as anyone could have asked for. It has been our village for the last nine years and I can't imagine her heading off to a new experience but they have prepared her well and now it is time for her to fly in high school.
This morning, I watched God's hand at work as two young men were confirmed and received their First Communion at our church. They happen to be classmates at the girls' school so it was especially nice that one daughter was serving at the altar and the other was singing (and playing percussion) in the choir. Seeing these young men make this commitment to their faith was such a happy occasion when so many their age turn away!
At every turn, I see God's hand at work and the blessing that come from Him. Even in the trials, I am reminded that His blessing and His plan are at work....and I marvel that I have been so blessed.
Have a blessed Best Life day!
