But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
John 5:17 (ESV)
Lord Jesus, my soul finds a great deal of peace today in knowing that You never sleep on the job. Unlike me, who gets tired and weary, You never take a break from blessing or a vacation from keeping those You love. You don’t need to steal away by yourself and not be bothered by the incessant requests of those who are calling upon You. No. You are always at work, always listening to the cries of Your people, always tending to their needs, always causing all things to work out for us and always turning our worst days into shouting fests! What a worry killer! You and the Father, through the work of the Holy Spirit, are getting it done for me, shouldering all my cares, nurturing all my wounds, tending to all my needs, giving me perfect peace. I am truly blessed! Not because of what I have or because I am not going through some tough situations. I am blessed because of Whose I am! Hallelujah!
Today, as I inch my way towards that day when I shall see You face-to-face, I ask that You would continue to show me Your fingerprints around me. Open my eyes to all of the “divine coincidences” that are taking place in my circumstances. Yes, others may assign it to luck or chance. But I know better. I know that it is You causing all things to work together for my good (Romans 8:28). And challenges are but regular reminders that what I am going through right now is small potatoes and cannot compare to what You are preparing for me behind the scenes that will absolutely blow my mind (2 Corinthians 4:17-18)!
So I approach this day energized and knowing that You not only have my back, but that You won’t take a break from me, get bored with me or tire of me. Instead You are urging me to stay in Your presence because You are always waiting to fellowship with me. My, do I feel loved! Thank You for loving me! Amen!
