Daily Lesson for March 5, 2015

Today's daily lesson is from Psalm 71 verse 15:

"My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge."

and Psalm 74 verse 12:

"Yet God my King is from of old,
working salvation in the midst of the earth."

There is an old Saturday Night Live skit where after a man dies and goes to heaven he meets his guardian angel, which he thinks is really, really cool. The man begs the angel to tell him the most astounding thing he never knew about his own life, but the angel refuses because he says it would blow the man's mind too much. So then the man asks for the third most astounding thing he never knew, but the angels says, uh-huh -- still too much. So then the man asks for like the 187th most astounding thing he never knew about his own life, the angel agrees and whispers it to the man, and the man can almost not believe it, it is so astonishing.

Today God is working to do astonishing things in our lives. Even in the midst of trial, tribulation, and turmoil, God has his angels busy -- working all things in our lives for the purposes of good. We may not be able to see it now, but salvation is being worked today in the midst of our lives, healing is coming in spirit, evil is being cast out, the enslaved are being set free, and enemies are being made friends -- even right now.

Let her hear who has ears to hear, and faith to believe.
