"Spirit Brought
Blessings" — SpiritFire
for 08/07/2013
They
were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have
shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with
them their material blessings. — Romans
15:27 tniv
Key Thought
The Spirit
guided the people of God and brought God's message and God's blessings. This
difficult path through history and the treacherous times of human failings was
completed because of the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of God's leaders
and his chosen people. The blessings, and even more, the blessing of the Holy
Spirit, are now ours. But we must remember those from whom we've received them
and continue to pass these blessings along.
Today's Prayer
Almighty
God, you know the future and I do not. You know who is good and bad. Yet I
trust you because I see how you worked through your Holy Spirit to bring us to
today. Now I ask that you work in us and through us to bring your blessing to
the world today. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I
get the above as a daily e-mail. I felt
this one needed to go on my blog. I have
a group of beautiful ladies that I forward these on to with a thought of my
own. This is what I said about the
above:
Through
God’s grace we have been redeemed.
I
am looking at the prayer portion of today’s email and am reminded again that I
am not to judge others. In my work environment, it is difficult not to
get frustrated with co-workers who circumvent the system creating extra work
for a few employees (especially when the boss is away). I continue to
work on focusing on the Lord and knowing that I need to do my best in all
things and NOT worry about others ~ whew.
With
that crankiness said, I am thankful to know that I have the Holy Spirit guiding
me in my daily life and continue to pray for guidance in all things.
