Continue to be AMAZED!

There have been times in my life that others have made comments about one shouldn't be amazed when they have seen the hand of God move on their behalf (or comments that support that kind of mindset). I could NEVER agree. In my not being able to agree, I would take it up in prayer and feel it necessary for me to stay in that childlike mode of excitement and anticipation with "what Daddy would do for His daughter today" attitude.  Anyone who KNOWS me know that I get excited and that I have a full range of my emotions for which I am thankful.

God just keeps on AMAZING me! Today's devotion just took my amazement over the top because when God causes a book to line up with what is happening for real in your life and you know you don't know the author. And put in perspective, they don't know you...All they were doing was being obedient to the Call God has on their lives by writing and publishing. Then, you obeyed the CALL to buy no not that book, but THIS BOOK! Then you obey the Call to read God's Word daily, even if it is just through this devotion and pray! Then you keep meeting the day with the Word, Wisdom & Prayer that is right in sync with what is literally happening in real life right now! Then you get to that day and this devotion is so INTIMATELY close to what is in my heart it is as though GOD TAKES WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART, puts it on the pages then allows the prayer to go beyond anything you have prayed over the matter ever before...HOW CAN YOU NOT BE AMAZED?!?!! That's what God did for me! He keeps on doing great things for me! It's like He is smiling on me (or as my Pastor, Bishop Murphy III would say...He's leaning in my direction)! CONTINUE TO BE AMAZED! He's not through with you yet!
