The Grace of God!

PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!

Today, as has happend many times in the past, God provided. As with any business, if your clients don't pay, the well runs dry. Well A Plus Answering was a vast desert for the last week or so. There are many reasons this happened. Many excuses that I could blame and point to as reasons why. But all of them would be worldly reasons. I answer to a higher power, so these are not the reason for the negitave cash flow.

God provides all our needs. God provides in His time, not our own. Just like when the decipal was walking on the water... while his focus was on the Lord... we was above the waves... but when he looked away... DOWN HE WENT!

Well, all of us are guilty of looking away from God from time to time. Like the Bob Carslile song says. "Saints are just the sinners, who fall down and get up" Well I am there. I am neck deep in the ocean and clinging desperately to His hand. Why do I let myself get this far away... and this quickly away from your Grace.

I don't know the reasons... but I do know that it takes work, like your building a castle , to keep your focus on Christ. There are BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of distractions. All of which ask you to "look away" from HIM. And at first it may just be for a second... or less, but the next time you look its a bit longer, and the cycle starts. Each half second glance is another inch deeper. AND it's warm water... you don't notice that it's getting hotter until your boiling... and you can't get out at that point.

ONLY by a stiring of His spirit can you see your sinking and look up. Look up and ask for forgivness, Look up and ask for help, Look up an give HIM back HIS authority.

That is where I am . Still wet, but looking up.

God bless
