# *Devotional Title: My Life is in God's Hands*### *Key Theme:*Our lives are fully known, deeply loved, and securely held by God, who has promised never to forsake us.---### *1. God Will Never Leave Us*
God Provides In Mysterious WaysPsalm 145:14-18 “The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”There are so many good things in this passage. “The Lord lifts up all who are bowed down.” How often is it that we need the Lord to lift us up, especially over this last year? It is so great to know that the Lord lifts us up when we pray to Him and ask Him too. When we are bowed down to the Lord is when we are praying and worshipping Him. When we spend this time with Him He is able to lift us up.“The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.” This one is hard one for many of us. We do not want to wait for the proper time. We want things to happen on our time line, or maybe we think our time line is the proper time. Then we struggle when God does not agree. My dad told me a story one time that demonstrates how God will give those that look to him food at the proper time. My mom & dad have 11 children. They also had a friend that had several children, I think at least 7. This friend called up and asked my parents if they could watch their kids as something important had come up. My parents said yes because they were always there for those in need. However, my parents had just been talking about how they had no idea how they were even going to feed their own children dinner that night, and now they had 7 more mouths to feed. So, they did what they always did in these situations, they turned their eyes to God and asked for Him to provide.Shortly after their prayer, they received a knock at the door. It was a neighbor holding bags of groceries. It turns out that the neighbors father had to move in with him unexpectedly and they needed to combine his father's household with his. They had just gone grocery shopping and so they did not have room in their cabinets for all the food from his Dad's place. So, they asked my folks if they could use any of the food. My parents graciously accepted. When looking through the bags they notice that there was plenty of pasta. My parents prayed, “Lord, if we only had some meat, then we could serve spaghetti to all these kids.”Guess what? There was another knock at the door. It was a different neighbor. He had a cooler full of meat. He said that him and his friend had been hunting and they had too much meat. He explained that he and his friend had already stuffed their fridge and freeze and still they had no room for this left over meet. Again my parents graciously accepted. Then when they looked in the cooler, there was ground meat for spaghetti. They were so thankful. This was not a one time thing for my parents. My parents were faithful in their prayers, not just when they were in need, but even when things were going well. God was faithful in answering them.“You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.” This is another great verse. I believe that God puts our desires in our heart. I am talking about our deep desires, not the desire to eat ice cream at midnight. The desires I am talking about are the desires to have a certain job, the desire to be married and have children, the desire to sing, or act, or whatever it is you feel you are called to do. As stated in this verse, God wants to satisfy the desire of every living thing. I know this can be hard to believe if you have a desire that you have been waiting for God to satisfy. Maybe you have been waiting for the right man/woman to come along so that you can be married and have children. I know it is hard when we want something and we have to wait a very long time. Isaiah 55:9 says, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” God has a plan for our lives and His plan is better than our plan. I know this can be frustrating because God does not always let us in on His plan for our lives. Sometimes we can be left wondering what is His plan and when am I going to understand it? If you have been thinking these things I want you to know that you are not alone. Many of us do not understand God's plan, and do not understand why the things we have been praying for have not happened yet.It can be easy to lose hope when are prayers aren't answered immediately. It can be frustrating when we are praying for something, and we don't seem to get any answers. I found this definition of hope online and I really like it. In the Bible hope is the confident expectation of what God has promised and its strength is in His faithfulness. We know God is faithful to His children. We know He keeps His promises. Therefore we can confidently expect that He will answer our prayers. It says in Hebrews 13:8 it says, ”Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever." Jesus has kept all of his promises in the bible. If He did it then, He will do it now. If you are getting frustrated waiting for your desires to be fulfilled I ask that you turn to the scriptures and either use the ones in this episode or find other ones that show you how faithful your Heavenly Father is. He will come through, please don't give up asking for what you want. Saying that makes me think of the story in Luke 18:1-8 of the persistent widow. “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.' “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually come and attack me!'”And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”Jesus told this parable to show his disciples that they should pray and not give up. If He was worried his disciples would stop praying and give up and they lived with Him day and night for 3 years, then I think He will cut us some slack for wanting to give up. I am sure He gets how frustrating it is to wait for the Lord's timing. If you are tempted to give up and stop praying for something that you truly desire I ask you to pause and remember this woman in the parable. What if she had stopped bothering the judge? What if she had not kept going back? Would she have her justice? We never know when the answer is right around the corner. What if you pray for 3 years and then stop and God wanted to give it to you on the next day? Don't stop praying for your deepest desires, He gave you those desires and he will bring them into being if you let Him. Dear heavenly father I ask that you bless all of those listening to this podcast today. I ask that you fill us with hope for those desires that we've been praying for. Lord we pray that you give us perseverance to keep praying even when there's no end in sight. Lord Jesus we ask that you give us strength to keep praying when we don't have any answers. Give us strength when we're weak and we don't think we can go on. Lord we know that you are the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. We know that you've kept your promises in the past and you will continue to do so. Lord we ask that you fortify our hope and faith in you. We ask that you increase our faith. Lord if there is a desire that we have given up on that you want to give to us we ask that you renew that desire in our heart Lord Jesus. We ask that you keep whispering it louder and louder until we can ignore it anymore. Lord, we thank you for fulfilling these desires as we know you keep your promises and so these desires will be fulfilled. We thank you for helping us stay persistent and for giving us the strength to keep asking. Lord we thank you for listening to all of our prayers every time we ask. Lord, we love you so very much, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus ' holy name. Amen Today's Word from the Lord was received in November / December 2024 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

Today, pastor Al Dagel finds and shares words of encouragement in God's Word. It is great to know that God does, indeed, provide!
Tough times call for an inventory of what God provides in our lives.Monday • 5/26/2025 •Week of 6 Easter This morning's Scriptures are: Psalm 80; Deuteronomy 8:1–10; James 1:1–15; Luke 9:18–27 Comments on James 1:1–15 from DDD 11/12/2020: https://tinyurl.com/p7ez9f76 This morning's Canticles are: before the Psalm reading, Pascha Nostrum (“Christ Our Passover,” BCP, p. 83); following the OT reading, Canticle 9 (“The First Song of Isaiah,” Isaiah 12:2–6, BCP, p. 86); following the Epistle reading, Canticle 19 (“The Song of the Redeemed,” Revelation 15:3–4, BCP, p. 94)
One Sunday morning, a pastor woke up and decided he just needed a break. He called in sick, told the associate pastor to cover for him, and drove out to a distant golf course where no one would recognize him. Up in heaven, an angel saw what was happening and said to God, “Are you going to let him get…
God leads the Israelites into a waterless desert, where they have no choice but to rely on God for all they need. The Israelites response is to grumble, quarrel and test that God will keep his promises. Despite this unbelief, God provides water and himself. Yet these events stand as a warning to us not to respond to God's plan in the same way.

This is message 39 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 41:1-29 God Stands alone as the eternal One who sees the end from the beginning and holds every moment in His sovereign hand. While the nations fear and turn to idols that cannot speak or act, God declares the future, upholds His people, provides in their need and proves Himself supreme over every false god. His unchanging presence and power are the steady anchor for those who trust in Him.

In Genesis 24:1-67 Abraham sends out his servant to find a wife for Isaac. There are a number of practical things we can learn from this about how to look for a spouse biblically. Pastor Grasso explains what these are along with the importance of pursuing a spouse in a godly way. Ultimately, the church is greatly helped when it is filled with godly couples starting families.
This week Pastor Andrew reminds us that God will take care of us when we need it and always provide for you what you need! Genesis 22:7-87 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!”And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.

In Genesis 24:1-67 Abraham sends his servant out to find a wife for Isaac. He is not to look for a wife for Isaac from Canaan but from Abraham's family. This story is significant in the overall narrative of Genesis because Genesis as a whole focuses on a particular lineage which ultimately culminates in the Messiah. In order for this lineage to continue, Isaac needs a wife. The servant runs into Rebekah at a well, beginning a theme that we see a number of times in the OT, ultimately culminating in Christ himself meeting the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4.
