Good Monday morning! We actually had a little bit of summer weather yesterday with highs in the mid-90's. However, it isn't supposed to last even to today. We do have a blessed summer around here right now. The winter wheat harvest is well underway. Eastern folk might wonder why its called a winter harvest, but we just tell them that winter often extends into June around here. Actually the "winter" goes with the wheat and not the season when it is harvested. Everyone knows that... we think. :-)
Praise God for the new day! I need some coffee. Did you ever stop to realize that God doesn't need anything to do His work? When starting a project or simply getting to work, we usually start by lining up our needs. In our own work we need tools, energy, electricity, other people, good health, food, fuel, and a host of other things just to get started. God doesn't need anything to do His work. Can you imagine the chaos if Heaven had to run like our corporations? Angel committees meeting all day, cherubs holding out for tenure, seraphim going on strike because of outside labor contracts, and the Holy Trinity meeting to decide Jesus' compensation package. We know that little would get done in a timely manner under a system like that. Most of us have experienced a system just like that here on earth and we know how slow and inefficient it can be.
God doesn't work that way though. He alone is sufficient for all that He wants to get done in Heaven and on earth. One thing we never need ask when surrendering our lives to the Lord is "what do you need from me Lord?" God doesn't need anything from any of us! However, "Lord, what would you have me to do?" is a good place to start in life. Each of us has work to do in the kingdom of God. Enjoy His work in you today.
