I wish I didn't have to keep learning the same things over and over. The last week God has been so good as to "take care" of some situations in my life. He has been faithful so many times over the years. Helping me to get over and through so many trials. He always makes it better than what I even thought it could be. Yet here I sit worried. Worried about what is to come of "stuff". I spend so much time trying to "fix" things on my own. Worrying about things that I have little to no control over. I just want to let go.... I do and then here it comes right back.So here it is In 1 Peter 5:6-7 we read "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety upon Him, because he cares for you." So if you fish, you know that when you cast out often nothing happens. Your bobber comes floating back to you so out you cast again. When our worries come floating back, sometimes like a flood, throw them back. Cast them to the Lord. As in the begining, when it is the "proper time" He will exalt you. His timing, not ours. His plan, not ours. And the best for last "because He cares for you". Enough said. Thanks for listening to whats on my heart. I don't usually blog like this but well maybe I'll start. Either you'll love it or I'll scare my 3 readers away. Thanks.

Hey Jennita, I can relate to how you feel. Really, that was what I needed to hear this morning. Thanks for being so open, Jess
ReplyDeleteYou won't scare me away. I love posts like that.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Thanks for the reminder. I, too, needed that. Love you.
ReplyDeleteHey Jennita... I love, love it. I started posting this very lengthy comment earlier and thought I ought not. (Hey! That rhymes.) Suffice it to say... I keep thinking as I "grow" that the "growing" will get less painful or somehow easier... and then I'll be able to just do things easily and it will all be... you know... easy. Then God will say, "April, I'm going to sharpen you in this way." and I'll reply, "Yes Lord, right away, cause I always do everything in your strength." Yeah well... a girl can dream. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like I couldn't get away from the "lengthy" commenting on this one. :)
