Keep praying. Your prayers are like drops of water in a glass. You can’t see the glass or how full it is but each drop adds to the contents and raises the level even though you don’t notice any changes. But keep adding prayers. At some point, the level is going to be right at the edge and the next drop will cause an overflow which will be noticed by everyone around. Don’t stop praying! You may be right at the edge. “…my cup runneth over.” Psalm 23:5.

I wrote recently about God’s plan for each of us and that He DOES have a plan for us and things He wants us to do in this life. More on that today. “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.” Romans 8:29. God knew us before we were born and we are set up to be like Jesus. That’s awesome but, of course, we have a free will to make the choice to go with God’s plan or one of our own. I want God’s plan, how about you? Also it says in the old testament that God knew Jeremiah even before he was born and had great things for him to accomplish. “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5. God told Jeremiah that He knew him even before he was born and He already had a plan for him. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8. If He did it for Jeremiah, He’ll do it for us! Have you found God’s plan for you yet?

A couple of revelations to encourage you:
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesisns 2:10. If you ever think you are worthless or not needed, repeat this verse. God prepared some good works to be done then made you to do them. You were created for a purpose and God wants you to fulfill it.
“But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:18 & 27. Just think about it; in this grand plan that God has, He made a place for each of us and He has placed us in and among each other to do our part. We are just in the place He wanted us to be and if we all work togethr, the “body” will thrive. I want to do my part. How about you?

We have had a devastating snow storm in our part of Virginia and many were without power and water for several days. The Dotson household went 5 days without electricity and it has changed our traditional Christmas and made me think about all this. As I was driving home from delivering a gift to my brother and his family, I saw all the Christmas lights shining now that power is back on and thought about the shopping, eating, traveling, and other “traditions” surrounding the holiday. I prayed, “Jesus, you don’t think too much about all this do you?” You only want us to remember why you came and to follow your lead as we live our lives.” I felt like He was saying, “You’ve got it Bill.”
It would still be Christmas even without all the “stuff” we have tagged onto the holiday. Happy birthday Jesus!

I was riding along in my Silverado on this fine day and was declaring some encouraging scriptures which I often do for edification. I was saying, “Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4). “If God is for me, who can be against me?” (Romans 8:31). Then I thought, “Wait a minute…there ARE people against me. What about that?” Immediately verses came into my mind, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.” (Isaiah 54:17), and “The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.” (Deuteronomy 28:7), and “Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7), and “You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you,” (2 Chronicles 20:17).
I was encouraged and comforted that as long as I trust in the Lord, no matter what happens or how things look, I WIN! You win too.
