What Day Is It?

Good Friday morning! I decided to write 'Friday' at least twice this morning since I started off trying to go with 'Thursday'. That other day is past, and in the past it shall remain. However, some thanksgiving is due. My life group came over to the house last night and helped set up the yard sale, clean the house, and share in some pizza. Thank you to Burt and Brenda, Ric and Cheryl, Steve and Sandy, Tabitha, Courtney, Brandee, and Mike for all the hard work we did. Also a thank you to Ron for lunch yesterday; my fridge is getting a little bare. And of course, the biggest thank you goes to God the Father for His wonderful blessings.

Wow, just when a person thinks he cannot get much more accomplished, God provides a bit more strength, a little more energy to get up and go again, and a dose more of desire to do what He would have us to do. When one of us gets up and asks that often heard question, "What day is it?", God gives a little direction. With just the slightest godly push, we are off again doing more than we thought we could, at a time when it seemed that nothing more could be done. Sooner than we think, a momentum builds. That which we did not want to do, becomes that which must be done. The thing we tried to avoid, becomes a thing of passion. Before we know it, what came reluctantly is now an unstoppable action and an unspeakable joy. Why does God do this to us? Perhaps, to show us that He is God, and that when we pray "Thy will be done" He makes sure that it gets done. God uses the weak and sometimes the slightly, reluctantly unwilling and tired to accomplish His purpose in this life. Praise God for the opportunity to see it happen.
