God is Faithful!

1 Corinthians 1:9 " God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."
1 Corinthians 1:26 "Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth."

      God, Father, thank You for Your faithfulness!  It is because of it and Christ's strength that I can do anything and everything that You have called me to do.  When You called me, I was not wise by the world's standards.  In fact, because of the choices I had made, I was considered foolish.  I was an average student and dropped out from college.  I certainly had no influence on anyone, even my own family and was not of noble birth.  We were poor working class folks.
     But by Your grace and resurrection power, and that alone, I have Your wisdom and can ask for more at any time and you will give it in abundance. You have been able to bless many young folks through Your influence both in my prior ministries and now at Liberty U.  And because You are the King of Kings, and I am by re-birth Your sibling through adoption, I am of noble birth.  Who would have ever thought any of that would be possible?
      Lord, in Your wisdom You chose me to be the mother of three wonderful sons who are walking with You and are an influence in their families, and in Your greater family.  It is only by Your grace that I was able to be the wife, mother, and mother-in-law and grandmother that I am.  To You be all the glory, honor, praise, and thanks.
      You have called me to faithfulness, holiness, and obedience. The most important thing to me is fellowship with You, my family, and Your family.
