Beginning Your Day - Isaiah 55:8-9

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, It is officially the first day of winter - the day is the shortest and the night is the longest. And even though the day is short and the night is long it is only twenty-four hours, just the same as every other day. As you begin this shorter day and longer night with things that you have planned and thoughts of things to do or not do, pause for a moment before you begin and hear these words, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Yes, all of our thinking and ways are tiny in comparison to our LORD's. The birth of Jesus Christ was thoughts and ways that only God, our Creator, had already completed . They were completed on the seventh day when God Rested. Some say it is fate or destiny to try and define it but to me it is a miracle! A miracle that happens everyday as we wake up and ends as we fall asleep and that is a miracle in itself. For those who have insomnia you know what I mean, because it is so hard to sleep and you would give anything to be able to just close your eyes and sleep. Your very breath is from the LORD and when a person has problems breathing it is also a struggle so indeed it is a miracle. There are so many explanations for different miracles but the only truth is that God created and God planned and purposed our days whether the day is short and the night long and vice versa. As we await the miracle birth of Jesus, may we Trust that the miracle that happened so long ago is still happening in our lives each and every day. Let us pray - Abba Father, Thank You for Your thoughts and Your ways, O Lord, I pray that each dear and precious sister-in-Christ would TRUST and REST in Your thoughts and ways being higher than theirs. Lord as we come closer to the miracle of Christmas may we step into Your Presence and rejoice. In Jesus Name, Amen. Embracing the Miracles,
