We often pray and ask. Each time, God gives us an answer to
our prayer. Some times that answer may be a “no”, but the prayer is answered.
Many times we ask but fail to thank God or answering the request. So, I want to
thank God for getting us to The Wilds safely this evening. I want to thank Him
for keeping the vans and trailer together mechanically, thank him for good
traveling weather, thank Him for letting Scotty drive the boys’ van…heard it
was loud : ) {that may be a run-on
sentence….sorry Jill. She cringes over improper grammar.} Now our prayer is
that our kids and all of the kids at camp this week grow Spiritually. We are asking
God to save those who are lost most of all and help those who are hurting at
home. We want those strong in the faith to draw closer to Him.
I want to share another huge answer to prayer. As most of
you know Ally lives with diabetes. I was truly impressed how smart she is with
maintaining her numbers. On the trip up, she was reading snack labels for the
numbers. This would tell her is she should or could eat it. However, there is
huge understandable apprehension from “mom” with her kid going to camp for a
week with this added responsibility. God has all things big and small under
control. Ally’s cabin counselor is a nursing student….how about that??? Better
yet, upon check-in, the camp nurse along with Ally, Christy, the cabin
counselor all made a conference call with Megan and spelled out exactly what
would happen this week. The nurse is actually going to go in every night for a
night reading and text it to Megan, as well as the daily routine. God is good!!!!
And what a lead in to tonight’s message from Steve Pettit.
Preacher Pettit is preaching this week about “Is God Good?” Scotty and I were
just discussing this message. On the surface we all say….”Yes, God is good.”
But, do we really think about and realize that everything comes from His
goodness. Because of His goodness, all things are possible.
Most times I provide the outline to the message. But,
tonight I am going to leave you with two thoughts from the message:
Never under estimate the generosity of God.
The goodness of God is to lead you to repentance.
