Royalties

Sarah had worked all her life and was now entering her next phase… retirement. All she could think about was what she and God would be doing with all her free time—so exciting!When she came home from her retirement party, she listened to a frantic message on her answering machine from Jenny saying her seven-year-old son, Samuel, was in deep trouble with the law.Sarah dropped to her knees and confided in God, seeking His wisdom and guidance. God said, “Hope you enjoyed your retirement because it’s back to work now. I have a new job for you, one you’re sure to love. A family I shall give to you, to love, and to teach. I have plans for them, and I want you to get them ready.” Them? Plans? Get them ready? She didn’t hear another word at that time. She just followed in obedience where God led her.If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask him, and he will gladly tell you, for he is always ready to give a bountiful supply of wisdom to all who ask him; he will not resent it. But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to tell you, for a doubtful mind will be as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind; and every decision you then make will be uncertain, as you turn first this way, and then that. If you don’t ask with faith, don’t expect the Lord to give you any solid answer. James 1:5−8Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay for the night. God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings. 1 Peter 4:9−10 Read more
