Yesterday truly was a nice day. My grandson came in the afternoon and we walked through what needs to be done as we talked about his own next steps as he is stepping into his adult years ahead. My confession of yesterday still wants to linger but I am putting my faith and trust to work. In fact, my devotional message this morning was to thank God for the needs we have. It is our needs which bring us closer to Jesus and to rely on Him. Once again God’s perfect timing is seen. I would never have thought to thank Him for creating me to have these needs I expressed yesterday. However, they, along with other needs I’ve expressed in former posts do bring me to my knees before Jesus.

As I was praying through my prayer list this morning and was praying over my own family the words of the hymn, I Need Thee were singing through my own spirit. “I need Thee, oh I need Thee, every hour I need Thee….” The frailties of my flesh lead me to the Cross. In past I’ve confessed them to Jesus. Today, I not only confessed them but I thanked God for giving them to me so I stay on my knees before Jesus. What a magnificent Triune God we get to serve: God the Father, Jesus our Savior and Lord, and God’s Holy Spirit Who resides within each of us who believe.
