A thousand years on earth may just be a second in heaven. Each moment, a grass grows or at dawn it springs up anew but by evening, it wilts and fades.
This is how you should view life as a child of God. Learn to value the number of days as Moments of Grace that God consistently adds to your life. You have gained the wisdom of heart from the Lord, use this to become a better servant.
In His kindness, He has filled up your priorities making you productive. He cares a lot about you and He shall prosper the works of your hands!
REFLECTION
God can easily answer your prayer in a flash! Before you can even verbalize them or write them in journal, He already knows what is in your mind and heart.
Five years ago, I started maintaining a Bible Diary. A few months thereafter, I have this urge to be a writer. I started noting down the concepts or titles of books I wanted to write about. Since it was not really my profession, all these books remained unfinished except for my own Bible Diary where I write my daily reflections and prayers. If I will compile all these writings of mine, I can easily created five books, one for each year! I was really not aware of God’s plan for me then, although I have prayed to Him in several occasions to make me a writer.
Today, I have found myself writing and posting journal entries on the internet. It may have took five long years from the time I prayed to the Lord to make me a writer but He has done so in His own perfect timing. It gives me a strong sense of accomplishment to be able to spread God’s Word. A ministry where I can share the talents that God has given me.
I know in time, He will reward all the works I have done for Him.
PRAYER
Father God, forgive my time-bound thoughts and prayers that usually leads me to be impatient. You know all of my hearts desires and I thank You for the assurance that You will prosper the works of my hands.
At the moment, You have begun a new work in me by allowing me to share my thoughts and experiences to others. You have answered my prayers by enhancing my writing skills and finding a good source to publish them. You have placed Your Spirit upon me so that by way of writing, I can witness and minister to others.
May all the works of my hands be always pleasing to You. In Jesus Name, I pray. Amen.
