God's Will For Today?

For any of you who have been regularly following this blog, I apologize for the lack of posts lately. It is not so much that I have been busier, but it is that my mind has been occupied with a daunting life issue. My mother-in-law had a serious fall recently. Her head hit concrete and she suffered some head trauma. Although she has some permanent damage, she is doing much better than the medical reports lead us to believe possible. God is good. Right now she is in a rehabilitation hospital and making some progress. However, within the next week or two she will be released. This is what is taking my time and energy. Ray, my husband, and I have been spending much time talking through the limited options. Ray’s step-dad, of course, will be making the decisions for the care of Ray’s mom. We can only suggest and guide. We know he will make a loving decision, but we want him to also make an informed decision. Time is running out on gathering information and making preparations.

I will be posting regularly but maybe every few days instead of every day or two. God has been a refuge and has laid some post topics on my heart that will burst forth in his timing.

So, please keep checking for new posts. Here are the two verses I use as barometers for my daily walk with God. They are great verses to memorize, and I often use them as a focus for meditation as I pray.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-2 NIV

Lord, I praise you because I know you are in total control. I praise you because I know you have equipped me to handle anything I may face today. You are the Great Counselor, the Great Encourager—My All.
