Life Repeats Itself

As I listened to the birds wake me up this morning, I thought of how things repeat. Everyday the birds sing early, almost as if they are calling to the sun to rise. We have the night to sleep, and the day to work (or the other way around on third shift). And God is watching over us. As I read the scriptures and prayed this morning I thought about this process of repeating. Why would we read the same scriptures over and over? Because we align with the words as we take them in and speak them out loud to each other. Think for a moment about the story these words tell. There is a God that has all power and He is on our side, watching over us to bring His kingdom to pass in our lives. The Psalms say over and over that we are human, we make mistakes, we have sufferings from time to time in life, we call to God to ask for help to follow Him and for deliverance, and He shows up strong to deliver us. Every time.

How could we not be thankful for that?

Prayer
Father, thank You for repeating Your blessings in our lives. Thank You for all You do to help us make our way through life. Please be with Your people today, and help them find Your way. Help us to know Your truth, and not the truth that men say. Help us to be your kids. In Jesus name. Amen.
