God's Awesomeness!

Today's theme: God's Awesomeness. 


My friend and sister in the Lord, Keisha, inspired this post today. We've been praying about something together. And today, the Lord answered our prayer. Let's just say it was  a small miracle, which prompted her to praise the Lord for His awesomeness in always being there. Like she said, "He keeps us from the valley and hides us from the rain."

Everyday, I'm reminded of his awesomeness and it always amazes me. Through my devotion and the inspired music I hear on K-Love, I am always learning something about His love, mercy and compassion. And I am so blessed to be on the receiving end of this. 

This week, my devotion has been centered on the theme of kindness and compassion. Ironically, or not, it was tested today at work. I got really frustrated at someone and vented to my boss as well as to Keisha. As soon as I sent off those words, I realized i just failed! I just did the opposite of what the Lord told me to do. I should have had kindness but instead I got upset at the person. 

I prayed for kindness and compassion. And thought I had come some ways with being kind and compassionate - let's just say these are not my strongest characteristics. And really, didn't think I would fail as soon as I was put to the test. Of course, God in his great awesomeness, sends me Keisha, who says that I have not fail yet. "You can't fail a test that has not been closed out yet. Move to the next one and answer it right," she says. 

Thank you Lord for a great friend. Thank you Lord for the test so I know I need to continue to pray for compassion and kindness. Thank you Lord for the encouraging message you sent through a sister. And thank you Lord for showing us though Jesus what compassion and kindness should be.
