Jesse anda Simple Prayer

Hey Guys-
As I often do on Saturday mornings,
today I met with a good friend for some time of encouragement.
Well today my buddy brought his 10 year old son Jesse.
Jesse is an amazing kid
In fact.....I am constantly amazed at the simple things kids in general can remind me of.
As we were visiting this morning, Jesse had gone to get some chicken nuggets (Did I mention we meet at a Chic- Fila) and like many kids he went about the business of saying his blessing-

God is good,

God is great, 

Let us thank Him for our food. 

By his hands we all are fed, 

Give us Lord our daily bread. 

Amen. 

What an awesome prayer
I must have said it a million times- yet passed right over in it's power!  

God is good.
 I question it sometimes
I wonder at why difficult things seem to be happening-
But it really is true!
God can and does take even the vilest things in this world and somehow open opportunities to redeem them for good. He is never the force behind evil, but is always creating opportunities to redeem all of it for good.  

God is Great.
I can remember thinking this was really just a repetition of God is good,
But on steroids-
Like - oops, what I really meant to say before was not so much God is good,
But I like Him so much I think I will call him great-
You know- like Tony the Tiger and Sugar Frosted Flakes-
He's Greatttttt!
I really like Him.
It's amazing how obtuse I can be.
You guys like that educated man's word- obtuse-
I can be so full of crap sometimes! Sorry.
 Truth- God is Great(All Powerful, Able to accomplish more than I can ask or imagine)
I need to be reminded of this sometimes-
He is Good and He is Great.
What a combination!

Finally (Yes there is an end to this)along with His Goodness and Greatness
It is a beautiful thing to hear that I can come to Him personally
Ask for something as mundane as food for the day.
In all His Greatness- He is interested in my hunger.
Wow!

God cares about me
The Creator of the universe and all that is or was or ever will be.......
Loves me.
Incredible- and even more incredible when I remember He knows me inside out.
Thank You Jesse for the reminder!
