How are we going to get where God wants us to be?
God's Work Continues. Sometimes the work men go home. And the race is still on!
We have reached a time where people are still in some trailers outside their flooded homes Tonight, I saw Christmas lights put on trailers outside of homes being repaired. People have spoken of gouging and work crews are still heavily scheduled. Others are fixed up right, yet have the pain of the payments to have this repaired. Others have walked away from their homes and have left - some relieved - some with guilt and hard feelings.
When God held back the Red Sea by His Will, He easily could have flown the Children of Israel to the Promised Land. Instead Father God allowed the process and the journey. Mother Angelica of the Catholic News Channel was frequently heard to say, "Pray and pay the Electric Bill."
Jesus gave us the Parable of the Seeds. We decide where we work. And this diligence shapes us. We are given minds to understand, work for faith - we find God. Seek and find. Work for the winds and whims of life - only have the perishable.
Proverbs 16:3
Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
Genesis 2:15
The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.John 6:29
Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
The Process of Life. Diligence. Steadfast care. Continuous Love. This is not the immediacy of miracles, yet defines the Love and Care God has for us.
Luke 18
1 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.
Jesus believes in diligent work, diligent belief, diligent prayer
Luke 11
5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend,
yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
We truly have been blessed, blessed, blessed to see the kindness of all of Houston's Harris County to those in need. Let's not forget the Blessing.
As life continues in a routine for most of us
- let's never forget
what we witnessed in the kindness of God's creation.
Abba, Abba, Abba,
With Jesus and His Holy Spirit - we will not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of our mind, that by testing we may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
We, who wait for the Lord shall renew our strength; we shall mount up with wings like eagles; we shall run and not be weary; we shall walk and not faint.
We can do all things through Him, Who strengthens me.
We ask of You, Father and receive. Jesus said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
We are Glad the Goodness of You, our Father Knows.
For You, Father God know the plans You have for us, declares our Father's Living Word, You have plans for welfare and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope. Today. And Tomorrow.
Thank You, Jesus, for the Love God the Father has for us, our loved ones and their cares. Surrounding the earth with You Love.
Thank You, Father God, what we have truly seen and witnessed in the goodness of mankind. You have fully shown us. Open our heart - we will never forget with the Help of God.
Amen in Jesus.

Numbers 22:22-28 ~When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down
Diligent in God, for her life, the donkey succeeds
