Join Us in Prayer for our Nation, our Leaders and Topics of
Concern for the week of 12/5/14 - 12/11/14
Watch Your Intentions
Phrases
such as, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” gives “good
intentions” a bad connotation. “At least they had good intentions” usually
isn’t a compliment. But good deeds begin primarily with a heart and mind set on
doing God’s will. Despite the evil crime Joseph’s brothers committed by selling
Joseph into slavery, the Lord intended it for Israel’s deliverance.
|
As for you, you meant evil against me, but
God meant it for good.
Genesis 50:20
|
“For we
are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10) Intend to do good
this holiday season by planning acts of kindness; carry through with your
intentions. How can you use your talents, abilities and possessions to help
someone? Holidays are often stressful. An extra dose of patience and kindness
might be all a person needs to get them through the day.
Pray to the Lord that, like He did with Joseph and Israel, He will turn the bad things in your life and in this nation for the good. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” (James 1:17)
