Richard D:
How does one give glory to God without mentioning oneself? I’ am not the subject or main idea of this thread. But none the less I know of no other way to tell you about how God is fulfilling His purpose in my life without mentioning me.

I wanted to update the members of this Christian forum for the soul purpose of letting you all know how God is taking care of me in hopes of increasing your faith and pointing out the reliability of our Creator Jesus Christ.

In a previous thread I had mentioned how I was among the people who lost their job by being laid off from my place of employment. At first I knew I would be eligible for unemployment benefits that would sustain me without loss but was nervous about not finding another job before my unemployment benefits were exhausted because the economy appears to be failing.

Now at that time I had made know my fears and insecurities to our creator Jesus but had no idea what would transpire in proceeding months and years of my life. My insecurities and fears came as a result of not knowing if I were going to loose my home and everything I worked for.

I knew of no company that was hiring in my trade as the work in those other companies had also slowed down and were also laying off their technicians too. This is what I had spoke of to God in prayer, no one is hiring what do I do now and so I meditated along these lines with Christ.

I had a desire or excitement that had come over me about starting my own service department as a contractor and with the inspiration of God had set out to reach this goal. A few days or maybe even a few weeks had past me by and I received a phone call with someone looking to have some work done.

I have been receiving work since then and am earning enough money to make ends meet without the need of and employer. You might ask is this of God? What I will tell you is that I have not spent so much as a penny to start a business although I have been thinking about having a telephone business line installed in my home and also am thinking about having some business cards made up. The man at the print shop says it cost 52 dollars to have a thousand business cards made up plus what ever the business line will cost.

This business was started with no money and I have not advertise my business at all, maybe there are people who can do this without God but I’m certainty not one of these people.

I tell you these things that your faith may be built up and that you may see the reliability of our God to provide.  

I believe it would be of great value for brothers and sisters who belong to this forum to make know their fears and insecurities and their prayers to God and how God is dealing in your life. I believe we should be sharing our lives with each other as we are all in the family of God. What we all have here in this forum is something beyond any value I have ever known, what we have here is priceless and cannot be bought for any amount of money.

All praise and honor and glory belong to our God a God who can be well trusted with our very lives and who does not hold back from us anything not even His own Son Jesus.

                                      In God’s perfect love. Richard.

Martinez:

It's pretty hard to give glory to God without mentioning ones self, on account of We are the work of His hands and weakness is for His glory because He is our strength!

Jer 18:4  And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

2Co 12:9  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Great answer martinez.

Richard D:
Please, don’t miss the point here! I’m not the main idea here or the subject. I know I cannot give God credit without mentioning myself. It’s not about me. Look at the good things God is doing.

The point of this thread is to give God the glory and build faith and trust in our God and show how God is in control of our circumstances. Please do not miss what I ’am saying.

                                    In God’s love. Richard.

Richard would you being saying it was a good thing.s that God was doing
...if no one called you with work
       if no one hired you for years
          if all things in your life were going down the tubes ?

Of course what is happening is to you right now is to the glory of God, We have not missed that point....

       Every thing that has and will happen .......WILL GLORIFY GOD. 


1Ch 16:34  O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth forever.

Jer 33:11  The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth forever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.

Psa 135:13  Thy name, O LORD, endureth forever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

Psa 136:4  To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth forever.
Psa 138:8  The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth forever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Beloved
