Read: Joshua 1:9
Stock boy, student, salesman, summer missionary, army medic, high
school teacher, college professor, consultant, pastor, hospital chaplain –
this is what I see when I look in the rear view mirror of my life. I wonder
how it all works for what God wants for my life. In retrospect, I can see
how God’s hand was at work in my life, guiding me in each of these experiences
that I was gaining in preparation to serve Him. Many times we
do not see how all of our life’s experiences have any meaning, as if they
were disjointed, but they are all part of a big jigsaw puzzle. As I look into
the rear view mirror of my life, I can see how they all fit into my life’s picture
in fulfilling God’s purpose if I trust Him and am obedient to His
Word. God has promised that He will be with us wherever we go.
Prayer:
Guiding God, as we travel through this Lenten season, help us see how Jesus
is still at work in our lives and in our world. Help us to be obedient. Amen.
~The Rev. Dr. Sam Ramirez
