I am so blessed to be surrounded by Christians at work. Of course I don’t like to get up in the mornings, because I LOVE my sleep, but I never dread going to work. God has truly blessed me with a job I love and people I love to work with (who also make it easy to go to work). Last week, a coworker stopped me and told me to read all of Psalm 113, but that the last verse was for me. First of all, how blessed am I to have someone think about me when they read their Bible? Secondly, the Lord used her to get my day started right. How can I have a bad day when I’m surrounded by God’s children who follow His direction when He leads them to share scripture, pray with/for one another, and simply have conversation about Him? Praise the Lord for where He’s placed me!
Psalm 113 ~ Praise the Lord, you His servants; praise the name of the Lord. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the Heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the Heavens and the earth? He raised the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; He seats them with princes, with the princes of His people. He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord!
Talk about hearing from the mouth of God! This knocked me right in my face and made me give thanks and praises to Him. I whole-heartedly believe that this was the Lord’s way of sending me one more reminder that He is in control and that I should seek His will always. God sends us comfort in simple things like when a coworker shares scripture or a friend whispers that she’s been praying for you. My prayer lately has been that God will be glorified in any circumstance, good or bad. He is so good to me and these reminders make me want to do good work for His Kingdom even more than I already did. All I can say to this is, “Praise God!”
My prayer is that you will see God’s glory in any situation, good or bad.
