09/23/23 ...FOR ALL OF HIS BENEFITS...

I praise the Lord for His watchful, loving care, at all times and specifically these past few days.
I don't take His provision and protection for granted.
I know He is the Giver of every good and perfect gift.
I know He does all things well.
I know that He works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

My heart breaks when other people suffer, at any time. But during the times, in which people suffer because of natural disaster, it becomes very clear that anyone of us could be afflicted by sickness, accident, violence, or losses of various kinds.

I don't take it lightly that my family was spared loss of property, health, loved one or personal life. During times of natural phenomena there are fires, floods and other life changing events.

We are not promised exemption from troubles and trials. In fact, we are told to expect difficult testing. After the wind and water and possibilities of tragedy have passed us by, I praise Him for His mercy and benevolence. 

"Thank You Lord. Help me to use my blessings for your honor and glory. I know that You are the One Who has kept me through the storm and through the night.

Lord, I ask that you will extend your provisions of grace (sustaining grace and advancing grace) to those who are suffering tonight; in Jesus Name..."
