"For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself....And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise." ~Heb 6:13&15~

As I went to receive my 15 yr service pin yesterday for 15 yrs of employment on my job, it was more than just a physical event. My mind was flooded with all the plans God had laid ahead of me all those years ago....nearly half of my life. He knew I needed to be a nurse instead of an English teacher. He knew that my life would hold many unexpected twists and turns...death of my first child, divorce, open-heart surgery of my teen-ager, and many other things along the way....Yet HE planned some cornerstones of stability in my life...my faith, my relationship with Him, my children, my home, my job, relationships with my co-workers, my church family, my community, my friends. His promise in verse 14: "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you"...and HE did. Everyone of us can look at our life and see His hand of abundant blessing. We are the recipients of the promise. Don't let the devil steal your focus of that today. Jesus is the anchor of our soul. HE is our hope, sure and steadfast..."This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast..." ~Heb 6:19
