100

For my 100th post I had planned on writing something exciting and profound about me, my life, or this blog... While doing devotions yesterday I found something better to write about.

From My Utmost for His Highest

We have the idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing - that He is preparing and equipping us for some extraordinary work in the future. But as we grow in His grace we find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, at this very moment. If we have God's assurance behind us, the most amazing strength becomes ours, and we learn to sing, glorifying Him even in the ordinary days and ways of life.

The point of giving your utmost for His highest is that you give it every day and every moment of your life... finding the delight of doing His will whether you are on the front lines fighting poverty or serving your family making dinner and changing diapers. What a lesson to learn! And one that God has been teaching me this past year.

Where God has placed us, that is where we are to serve Him... and He has promised to be there with us.

"He Himself has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you...'" Hebrews 13:5
