Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

You know Lord, when someone asks us a question as to what has God done for us today, we certainly can be caught off guard. Our mind tends to freeze. That question keeps one thinking about You, all day, Lord. We know that you're at WORK every day; we notice.

Your fingerprints, Your goodness, faithfulness or specific things like glorious sunrises, or sunsets, finding a penny in the parking lot or a favored item on sale at the grocery store - OR - even a hug from a child.

Old or young, we're fellow pilgrims on the journey to heaven. We notice the faith of older Christians who pray without ceasing, who never give up, never give in, never give out - they know that You're at WORK - every DAY!

Your word states (Pro 13:20a) "The person who walks with the wise, grows wise ..." The wise hear and obey Your voice. They are sources of strength and help to others of us also on this journey. Their wisdom helps us to notice what You do.

The evil one often controls this world, but You, Lord, give us spiritual strength, confidence and guidance. We can approach You with the assurance stated in Phil 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."

Once we grasp that, we can say as Edwin Markham wrote:

"He drew a circle that shut me out -

"Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.

"But LOVE and I had the wit to win.

"We drew a circle that took him in."

We need to watch and pay attention, Lord, for You do much more than we realize; healing bodies and minds, helping us find keys or caps; You guide us in all kinds of situations. We, too, can ask others, "What has God done for You today?" and share the love and joy You've given to us, every day. Thank you, LORD!

Love Mara
