God Always Has A Reason

I have a confession I read guidepost daily devotional.I used to thnk it was for only for old people. My friend Mike said to me one time. My parents read it, and I used to think it was only for old people. But Mike went on to say that he has come to understand that the farther away from reading it the farther he is away from God. Another friend told me this week that she doesn't read it , it's for old people. I used to agree with how my friends think . I have come to agree with Mike I need it daily.

Anyway back to why I'm writing , this morning as I read.  One of the writers wrote at the end that God spoke to her and said " You don't always understand why I ask you to do things, but know there is always a reason" I have mentionted this year that instead of New Years resolutions , I wrote a prayer list. I will admit to you that one of them was to one was to lose weight. Another was to be still more and tune my ear to hear God's voice better , and then to to have the courage to do what he tells me to do it. There have been a couple of times already that God has had me do something , that I'm not sure why and if I did it right and didn't mess it up. I pray not.

Those 18 words were a huge encouragement to me, someone else feels like I do . God encouraged them and they in turn encouraged me by writing. So I encourage you to listen for that soft sweet voice of our saviour and hear his encouragement that he has for you.
