God is still God!

But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets… (Daniel 2:28a NLT)

Listen, I have one simple thought upon which I want you to focus. Here it is: God is still God. There are so many situations and voices trying to grab our attention these days. There are concerns about our health and safety and constant reminders of the racial and gender inequality and injustices in our world. If we are not careful, we can become convinced that God is not who God says that God is. Nevertheless, despite the challenge, difficulty, and seeming endlessness of certain situations, the truth we know about God yet stands.

God is still doing the miraculous. God is still opening the right doors and closing the wrong doors. God is still healing ALL MANNER of sin, sickness, and disease. God is still undoing, redoing, and outdoing. God still has all power. God is still love. God is still loving us at our most unlovable point and forgiving us of things for which we cannot forgive ourselves. God is still bigger than any obstacle you will ever face. God is in your right now and God will be in your tomorrow. God is still working. God is still our hope. God is still keeping promises. God is still restoring marriages. God is still providing and making a way out of no way. God is still breaking chains and setting people free. God is still reconciling relationships. God is still seeking and saving those who are lost, confused, and disappointed. God is still speaking. God is still listening. God is still comforting. God is still answering prayers. God is still birthing new life. God is still fulfilling dreams. God is still able. God can still be trusted. God is still God. Jesus is still Lord. God still loves you and has a plan for your life. Fix your eyes on Jesus. God is still good. God. Is. Still. God.

Be not dismayed whate’er betide, God will take care of you! Beneath His wings of love abide, God will take care of you! God will take care of you, through every day o’er all the way; He will take care of you; God will take care of you!

A Father’s Day Poem

You’ve been my inspiration, Through all the years gone by. The person I look up to, It’s easy to see why.

Your inner strength is boundless, There’s nothing you can’t do. You continue to amaze me, Just by being you.

Your presence is a comfort, You need not say a word. Just by being there for me, The silent words are heard.

You’ve played your part Throughout my life, Gave everything you had, I want to say I love you, My inspiration, My friend, My Dad. Author Unknown
