I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.”
Psalm 16:2
Many of us have had times in our lives where we found ourselves without money, without friends, without work or even perhaps without a home and assurance of a next meal. These can be significant challenges; I speak from personal experience. Yet, in these times our Lord provides us with so much more clarity. Being apart from all of these things can allow us to see the only "good" thing. Each of these others are necessities of life here on earth, but what makes them good is our knowledge of where they come from and then how best to use them.
Use your gifts and blessings to glorify our Lord this day, so that through Him, they are made "good", for tomorrow you may be parted from all but the Lord. There is only one internally "good" gift and it is eternal.
Many Blessings.

Other than posting this "Thought of the day", I am away from my screens to spend some time with the Lord and the my most cherished gift (my wife).
Be blessed this day. I hope you can take some time away as well.

I am always comforted by the thought that God doesn't give me any challenges or trials I cannot overcome. When faced with difficulties, I remind myself to be grateful for the opportunity He is giving me to redirect my focus on what is important in my life. "Your will be done O Lord."

Yes, and sometimes the challenges are WAY more than we thought navigable, yet the Lord is true to His promise, always.

No need to worry about money or food my friend... God provides for all his creation. God promises in his word. May God guide us.

"Use your gifts and blessings to glorify our Lord this day" It is such a coincidence that we were just talking about this today during the service! It is true! We all need to think about how we are going to use the god-given time, money, resources, social status, and experience to glorify and honor Him! :)

Indeed, it is a fundamental lesson and core belief.
If we are to restore this broken earth, then we must use the talents and gifts properly.
Many blessings!

I missed this yesterday as I am experiencing internet issues since yesterday caused by a fire close to my home. According to the server service will normalize in 24 to 48 hours. So I am using service of an internet cafe near my work place to Steemit.
