Dear friends,

Here is a supplemental message for you to think about as you
enter into the weekend. In New Hampshire, where I currently
live, it looks like it is gonna be a real "scorcher"! 😉 Enjoy
your weekend, and remember to keep the Lord foremost in your
thoughts and actions every day. It helps you, it helps those
around you, and it brings glory to the Name of our Lord!

Brother Brian

Today's Devotional

It's A God Thing!

Romans 1:20 - For the invisible things of him from the creation
of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things
that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they
are without excuse: (KJV)

A reply in response to one of my devotionals inspired this
one. The reader said she liked how I could take an ordinary
situation and turn it into a God Thing. It made me think about
what some refer to as coincidences and what others of us believe,
that with God, there are no coincidences.

We have all experienced situations where things clicked seemingly
inexplicably.

For example, after a friend had completed her course to work with
terminally ill and bereaved people, I mentioned to her that she
would henceforth probably find that without ever mentioning it,
and aside from those with whom she would be volunteering, people
who were experiencing terminal illness themselves or with a
family member, and those who are grieving, might be drawn to her
in her daily life or social situations.

Less than two weeks later, she told me of two incidences that
week where she happened to be in the right place at the right
time, when someone unknown to her and seemingly out of the blue
had felt drawn to confide in her. Her response to me was, "Isn't
that a coincidence!". She agreed with my response of "Oh, they
say that with God, there are no coincidences."

Perhaps in future coincidental situations, with a twinkle in
one's eye, a more appropriate response might be, "Isn't that a
God Thing it happened!"

And isn't it a God Thing that that reader's response inspired
this devotional?

Prayer: We give thanks to you, O Lord, for placing us in the
right place at the right time; for those times when we can be of
help or are helped when it is really needed; for those times when
whatever we are doing, just clicks or falls perfectly in
place. We thank you for the God Things in our life. In your name
we pray. Amen.
