After almost ten years as one of the leaders in my parishes youth group I will be saying goodbye tonight. Like I had mentioned the other day God is guiding us daily….we just have to listen and say yes. So my wife Kerri and I are. Truth is I’m a little scared. More for the program I’m leaving than for myself. Over the years I’ve come to see both the teens and the other leaders as an extension of my family so I guess my protective instincts are just kicking in. I know the group is being left in excellent and capable hands and it’s my hope and prayer that it will flourish even more. I’ve gotten to a point in my life though that I trust God’s plan so I have to let it go, and even though I’m excited to see where I’m led to next, it is bitter sweet because I will absolutely miss everyone. But like the Apostles before me it’s time to move on and evangelize somewhere else. This morning, for obvious reasons, my mind kept repeating Jeremiah 29:11 but I felt like something was missing. So at around 5:30 this morning I got into work and started getting myself ready. As I was tying my boots I heard something on the radio. It was playing so low it seamed as though it was a whisper, but it was loud enough.
“Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning” -Lamentations 3:23
Boom. It’s almost like He’s showing off sometimes! I mean that’s exactly what I needed to hear. Every day is a new day and God’s mercy and blessings for us are renewed every day. So don’t worry about yesterday or tomorrow because He is always with us.
Thanks for listening. God bless
