I'm prepping the month of November in my Faith Art Journal. I finished the Fruits of the Spirit series and am finishing up the year with some favorite quotations. I have always loved this one so I'm using it to focus my spiritual study for the month of November.
I will use this outlook, this attitude if you will, to focus my prayers and bible verse study. It is so important to remember God's presence in our lives even when it might feel like he has abandoned us. He never does but it is so easy to fall into that pattern of thinking when the going gets tough.
God always has something to offer us so the next time things aren't going as you might like, take a moment to pause and consider what blessing God is sending your way. At times we become so wrapped up in our worldly thoughts and ideas that we miss out on an opportunity that God is presenting to us. Sometimes he sends an earthly angel to offer a kind word or a tidbit of hope but we are so immersed in our own human woes that we miss it.
I've written before that God speaks to us in unexpected ways and at unexpected times. Never forget that. Be open to his loving guidance and don't miss out on what he sends your way!
Hugs to each of you and may you find God's gifts during the month of November and every month there after.
