Today I want to praise God for His kindness. He does things for us to let us know that He cares about the details of our lives. How kind! He doesn't have to do that...but He does it for our encouragement.
It makes me think about Mary, the mother of Jesus. After the angel appeared to her and told her she was going to give birth to the Messiah, do you realize how many times God confirmed that message to her? (I actually haven't counted them...I was just seeing if you knew!) Elizabeth's baby lept in her womb and instantly Elizabeth knew and told her what the Spirit revealed to her. It was confirmed again by the angels in the sheperd's field and the sheperds. It was confirmed by Eli the priest and the woman at the temple.
All of these were things just expressing God's kindness to Mary, I think. Of course, it revealed the Truth to others, also. But how kind of God to confirm His message to Mary over and over. And He didn't do it just for Mary---He does it for us, too.
And if you need a confirmation, ask Him for one!
Father, thank You for Your kindness. Thank You that You want us to know that You're working for our benefit. Thank you for Your encouragement. Thank you for not leaving us alone in those difficult moments when You require so much of us. I praise You for Your everlasting kindness to us. In Jesus' name, Amen.
