The sparrow.

Posted by Chris on Monday, March 2nd, 2009

It’s 12:30 at night. I’m laying in bed just thinking about life. Not sure why I’m wide awake, but I am. Perhaps it’s the frappacino I had tonight at starbucks. Anyway. I guess what is on my mind is how God has brought me to where I am over the past 6 months or so. Moving to CO, forming new friendships, life changes I’ve needed to make and how He has carried me so far. Even to the point of providing me a job in which I feel completely blessed to have. I believe it was a miracle and act of blessing.
However because of economic hardships, my place of employment is having to face some hard realities. I am not sure what this means specifically for me, but my heart yearns and cries out for all within this organization. It’s honestly going to be a hard week for all as some changes will happen. Things will be different. I might not have a job come tomorrow.
I know God is in control. I seem to find no sense in praying for His will to be done, because it’s going to be done regardless of me. I just pray that I give Him the glory. I pray that as he takes care of the sparrow, He will take care of me.
These are difficult days for a lot of people. It’s been amazing the faith we have demonstarted in money, in jobs, in our president. It’s a false faith.
Matthew 6 reminds us that God will take care of us, that we should not worry about tomorrow as today had enough trouble. One can only move ahead knowing that God is faithful in meeting outlr needs. Not out wants and selfish desires.
Please pray for me, my place of work, the leadership and the decisions they must make. It going to be a hard and stressful week. Uplift this ministry and the impact it has on this nation, this world.

    I have also been pondering praying for "His will be done". The Lord's prayer instructs us to pray this way. Does that mean His will is not always done on earth? Does he sometimes allow our will to be done or someone elses? I think we should do as the Lord teaches and pray for his will, his mercy and his grace to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Otherwise we are like the nations that have no God or have a fatalistic resignation to "whatever" like my Muslim friend. She is resigned to a "whatever" posture to her words Enshala (God willing) without hope of a personal touch from a God that loves her and wants to be intimately involved in her life.
