Large or Small
God is Present Always
Everywhere With Wondrous Things
Job 19:25
I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand upon the earth.
John 12:28
[Jesus, knowing what death he faced, said] ‘Father, glorify your name.’ Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.’
Words of Grace For Today
The hope of every age is to know that our Redeemer lives, that our Redeemer stands on earth, and that, instead of the evil that destroys life, God’s name is glorified by blessing us with peace and a solace. A solace in knowing that, though our enemies still live, the sacrifice that we will be called to make, and great it will be, will be one that will give life to many people …
and that for all our days on earth we will enjoy an abundant life.
God makes many things, many very wondrous, miraculous things happen each day.
God uses many and various means to spread the news that God is gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. Each time God’s name is glorified.
When God sends us to share this good news, though it may cost us what we might think may have been ours or due us (so we think we might have sacrificed something), in fact God takes nothing from us that God has not already given to us in the first place. Always God continues to walk with us, guide us, and give us hope.
It’s in the little things that God blesses us. It’s in the little things that we find our hope renewed. It is in the little things that God teaches us how to move through each day, no matter what comes our way, good or evil, joyous or despairing.
God’s name is glorified again and again, and we get to live this life abundant with God walking beside us, blessed.
