Planning for God

Last week I reported that I was going to read and study one chapter every week (or so). Well, as I was reading yesterday, I received a message about a new project I am supposed to work on for God as well as needing to work on the current book a little more frequently. So, that sort of coincides with a sign I saw last week that read "If you want to make God laugh, go ahead and make plans for your life." Ü So even though I had a plan to get to know God and understand Him better, He has requested a pause to allow me to do something else for Him. So I will humbly obey His wishes.

Part of making time for God is just doing what He asks of you. He didn't request that I do both - continue studying the NT as I have been and write about the new subject. But His request was that I put aside the studying of future chapters in the NT to study this one section more in depth for a while so I can write about it. AND to work on the book a little more often. That is proof that God will not put more on you than you can handle.

Also, when I am making time for God's work, I am tithing my time to God. I thought I should put that reminder in there today.


Blessings in Christ,
Patricia

Pray for World Leaders

The U.S. Presidential election is over. Trump will be our 45th president. He will need our prayers as he begins to make his plans during these couple of months before his inauguration. The Bible tells us to pray for our leaders; this is very pleasing to God. All of the leaders around the world have important decisions to make every day. Let's pray for God to give them all wisdom and peaceful solutions to problems they face on a daily basis. Following is a link to Bible verses that promote prayer for government: https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Praying-For-Government/ . Read and study these verses carefully.

A Month of Thanks

In my book, Women Making Time for God , and on my blogs for God, I have mentioned that we should be thankful. In most of my testimonies, I mention how I am thankful to God for all that he provides me and how I try not to complain to show my gratitude to God and everything he has given my family and me. Joyce Meyer wrote the article at the following link that I want to share with you today. The article is called " An Attitude of Gratitude ". Joyce sums it up nicely. And being thankful does really make our relationship with God stronger. If you read my book, you'll know I was washing the dishes when I was reminded to be thankful for these chores and told by God to write the book. The fourth Thursday in every November is Thanksgiving in the U.S., but I think if we all dedicate the entire month of November focusing on thanks, that being thankful will become a healthy habit we can use our whole lives to get closer to God. I practice this every day. I thank God before my feet...
