Shackled from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. When given a task, we tend to look at ourselves, what we currently have, and our available tools. We mentally dig through our toolbox. Our solution is often confined to what we have already experienced, so we have limited vision and resources for... -
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Don't fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel." When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshap...

The Desires of your Heart

Also delight yourself in Yahweh, And he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4 WEB
Many years ago I bought a graphics card for my computer with the newly released digital visual interface port. DVI had just come out, and it would allow you to connect a computer to a high definition television so you could use it like a giant monitor. Being intrigued by electronics and gadgets, and the thought of computer gaming on a big screen television, I really wanted to try this.
To make it work, I needed a DVI to HDMI converter cable. At the time, this was cutting edge and I had never actually seen a cable like this, but I knew they existed. One morning before I set out to work, I was searching for the cable on the Internet. I found one for $40 plus shipping, but I decided not to buy it yet. It was not really a need, just something that I wanted to play with.
Our first client of the day was an insurance company. We arrived and while talking with the manager about what needed to be done, he reached into his desk drawer and tossed a cable on the desk, new, unopened and still in the plastic package. Then he said:
'I bought this a while back, and I don't even know what it is, or why I bought it, but maybe you can use it.'
It was a brand new DVI to HDMI converter cable in an unopened package. He had bought it for me and did not even know it. I just laughed and thought that God is better to me than I am to myself. I am so thankful for the little things that He does in our life. Seek the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added to you (Luke 12:31).
Many times in my life I have been happily serving the Lord and suddenly something wonderful happened that I had not prayed about, or even mentioned to anyone. Things that were too trivial to pray about, came to pass. I encourage you today: Get lost in the Lord's goodness. He is so Awesome in every way, and He will take care of you. If it matters to you, it matters to Him.
Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You and I want to experience more of You in my life, outside of the church walls. I want to see You working in my life every day. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
Note: Good morning :)! As you can see, the devotional this morning is not a video version, as we have been providing in the past several weeks. We had some extensive property work to do this week, which included tearing down an abandoned house, so were not able to make the video for the week. We appreciate your understanding and, Lord willing, plan to have a video ready for next week :). Praying you all have a blessed Monday!> You can subscribe to our daily devotional here <
