Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I ask that you consider these statements from François Fénelon (1651-1715)
“…adore His wisdom – even when you don’t understand it.”
“I have learned much from my foolish reactions.”
“Abandon yourself to God.”
“… be satisfied with what pleases God.”
Ephesians 5:10 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
10 trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.
Abba, by the power of the Holy Spirit, through and by Your Son Jesus, Your servant prays. Humbly, with adoration in my heart and praise on my lips, Your servant draws near to You. Help us to be content in what pleases You. Thank You for the trials and refining moments. With Your help, Your servant sees how it is to our benefit to abandon the self and sin for You. Help us to recall that we are not our own and have been both created and purchased by You. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
“Purchased” is a very powerful word and correct here. He gave His all for us to have a path to righteousness. We would do well to consistently remember we are His, purchased by His blood. Thank you brother.

Thanks Matthew for this scripture
It truly hits the spot rght on target
I reflect years of foolishness in my youth
The trails and tribulations I caused myself
The Amazing Grace of God delivered to me through Christ Jesus actions as my Savior
The Grace and Mercy of my GOD the Almighty.
This is a sobering thought bring to the front of my mind, realizing how bad I’ve been yet His Grace , Mercy and Goodness still flows over me
How wonderfully refreshing this morning
Thanks again Matthew
