Lord, grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by you, always follow your plans, and perfectly accomplish your holy will. Grant that in all things, great and small, today and all the days of my life, I may do whatever you require of me. Help me respond to the slightest prompting of your grace, so that I may be your trustworthy instrument for your honor. May your will be done in time and eternity by me, in me, and through me. Amen!

"ALL GOD'S CREATURES DAILY DEVOTIONS for ANIMAL LOVERS" [GUIDEPOSTS: www.guideposts.org]
"Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose." - PHILIPPIANS 2: 12-13 (NIV)********"ON A recent vaction to Mississippi, my family visited a small marine mammal rescue center. We linger near the sting ray pool, giggling each time a ray passed under our fingertips. Two days later, we took a ferry to spend the day on a small nearby island in the Gulf of Mexico. As we walked the shore, we saw dozens of sting rays gliding through the water. We again lingered to watch, but with a different kind of awe and respect. Seeing the rays at the rescue center was fun, but observing them living and thriving in their natural habitat was much more impressive. ***The samwe can be true for our faith-it is meant to be lived out"in the wild." Church communities provide the equipping we need to do the hard work of living out faith in our everyday lives.***As we work out our faith-on the job with a challenging coworker, in our home with difficult children, in the doctor's office with an unwanted diagnosis, recovering from an addiction, or in whatever challenge we face-we can see God working to fulfill His purposes through us. Expressing our faith in church is one thing. Living by that faith throughout the week and in every situation shows our commitment to the Lord." --AMELIA RHODES********** "Father, help me live out what I have learned in Your Word and thought Your church. In each situation today, work Your good will through me. Amen. ********May God Bless you & yours today & always!
"A voice cries: "In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD, Make straight in the desert a highway for our God." ISAIAH 40:3 (RSV)**********"WHO LIKES BEING CRITICIZED? I sure don't. Except by my friend Jen! **Jen has this way of ppinting our my faults that takes the sting out of it. She'll laugh when she hears about something I've done and say, "you are a piece of work!" or she'll say with a genuine grin, "You should come with a warning label!" *****This is her way of letting me know that I've done something that's more brazen or confrontational than I realized at the time. The key is the love in her response. It's what comes trough first. Her eyes smilie when she's giving me this feedback. Hers is an honest response to my honest way of being. This blend of honesty, love, and lightheartedness is probably why I can take the critique. Instead of triggering defensiveness, it gives me an opportunity to ponder my actions and wonder if I might try a different approach in the future.****As Christians, we're familiar with the concept of "preparing the way of the Lord." Jen's affectionate perspective prepares me to see something about myself that I wouldn't otherwise be open to seeing. Jen's strategy has taught me that when it comes to growth and change, love prepares the way.****And I know that Jesus is preparing our way with love all the time! In every moment, Jesus's response to us is love. Nothing but love. When I allow myself to feel that love, I soften and open to the growth and change that Jesus is gently preparing me for." --ELIZABETH BERNE DEGEAR **************** "FAITH STEP: Next time you have to critique someone you love, spend some time with the "love" part first. Ask Jesus to help." [MORNINGS WITH JESUS, A GUIDEPOSTS PUBLICATION, MAY/JUNE 2020, VOL 6 NO 3, www.guideposts.org, 800-431-2344]*********Enjoy a blessed, healthy, safe, strong, prosperous, pleasant, happy & great today always!
