He Has Done Great Things

God has done great things. Think about it. In your own life, how has God done something great for you? If you think about it long enough you will come up with at least one way God has done something great in your life. Probably many ways. 

Thinking back there are many examples I could share about how God has done something great in my life. The first one I think of is when our son Brady was about ten he became very sick. We took him to our local doctor and nothing he did seemed to help. We prayed for him. Finally, we got an appointment with Blank Children's Hospital but they had no explanation for why he was getting weaker and weaker. We were frustrated and very concerned so John got an appointment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and we drove him there. By the time we reached the hospital Brady was so weak and sick that John had to carry him in to the appointment. The woman doctor took one look at him and took a few tests and announced, this boy has pneumonia. They immediately started treating him for it and he responded quickly by getting better. Thank you, Jesus.

"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negev. Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him," (Psalm 126:3-6 NIV).

This is the season of harvest. May those who harvest after a difficult year of lack of rain, reap a bounty that gives joy. God does great things for us. Amen.
