Lesson of the Week

As some of you know my pride and passion was hurt this past weekend, I crashed my truck. Well I learned a lot this week also. God does not stop working. When our lives are put on hold from some tragic event like crashing my beautiful truck, God is still working in us and through us and still needs our faith to keep going. In some way He wants us to find the joy in every situation. Since we can not slow down. We need to move ahead in faith. But even going forward in faith, if we want to experience the joy in the journey, we need to take the time to delight in God. Getting to know Him, building a relationship and learning to really enjoy living for God will keep us through the difficult times. Secondly, we need to come to God with total commitment. How many times do we start out with trust and delight in God, but when things go sour, or when there seems to be no relief in sight, we give up. Committing everything to God means we trust Him for the long run. Today we can start our journey with the attitude that David had when he said, “Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.” Psalms 37:3-5 This week we can bring everything to God and trust, delight and commit.
