Happy Day Friends,

It’s Wednesday… you know what that means? Tonight, 7pm @ Destiny Family Center, we will be celebrating God “Destiny style.” So, come on over… indulge yourself… either in person or on-line! There is no better way to kick off an unprecedented finish to your week! See ya there…

My thought today comes from Psalms 68:5-6 NLT (talking about God of course) “Father to the fatherless, defender of widows… this is God whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.”

What a great job God has… everyday, doing good things for people who are knocked down through the unfortunate circumstances of life! This is one of the things I love most about him… and one of the ways I want to become more like him! God personally cares for the “scratch and dent” people of humanity. We’ve all been there a time or two, kicked to the curb, dragging our bare feet through this cold cold world, wondering if anyone in all the universe really cares if we live or die. And here in Psalms 68, God is refered to as “father to the fatherless… defender of widows!” Wow… isn’t that such a cool title! I love it so much, I’m gonna write it again… father to the fatherless… defender of widows!

God cares about all the deserted people of our world… all the LONELY PEOPLE! When we are lonely, God cares for us all by himself while he passionately searches for a compassionate HUMAN FAMILY who will take us in and nurse us back to life again. All the way back in Genesis, God said, “it is not good for man to be alone”and he created Eve for Adam. He doesn’t want anyone to be alone! I believe that God has specifically created a companion for every lonely person. If you’re feeling lonely today, know that God is always there for you. He will comfort you all by himself, as long as it takes for another human to recognize your pain.

Loneliness is a very heartbreaking, unnecessary widespread disease in our modern world. And it’s right here that we can all make an eternal difference. Look around… is there a neglected, deserted, lonely person in your circle desperately hoping for someone like you to come along and PICK THEM UP? Be extravagant and make a difference!

I’ve prayed for you guys again this morning… dont forget tonight at 7pm! Have a WILD WEDNESDAY!
