There are so many bazaar stories out there today, it takes my breath away. I have heard and read many scenarios in the last few days. When I was seeking God for why, I was directed to these scriptures, just to name a few. What do you tell friends and family today anyway. As a counselor in today's world, I am supposed to be equipped with psychological and Christian principles. But, I must admit it gets harder and harder for some and they wonder "Where is God!"
Psalm 31: 1 through 5
In you, O Lord, do I put my trust and seek refuge; let me never be put to shame or (have my hope in You) disappointed; deliver me in your righteousness! Bow down Your ear to me, deliver me speedily! Be my Rock of refuge, a strong Fortress to save me! Yes, You are my Rock and my Fortress; therefore for Your names sake lead me and guide me. Draw me out of the net, for You are my Strength and my Stronghold. Into your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth and faithfulness.
7: I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy and steadfast love, because You have seen my affliction, You have taken note of my life's distresses and you 8: and You have not given me into the hand of the enemy; You have my feet in a broad place.
All we can do is guide people to His Word, and ask them to take a breath, sit back, wait, and see the tide turn. And, it will.
If we know ourselves, if we Know God, and you must know your enemy; then you take a breath, sit back, wait and see the tide turn. Very difficult concept when the arrows are piercing and coming too fast.
Psalm 35: 26 Let them be put to shame and confusion together who rejoice at my calamity! Let them be clothes with shame and dishonor who magnify and exalt themselves over me.
Deut. 31: 8 - it always comes back to Deut. 31: 8
It is the Lord who goes before you; He will (march) with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; (let there be no cowardice or flinching, but) fear not, neither become broken (in spirit) (depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm).
He (God) knows, knew you were going to go through______________________. That is the one thing some have a problem with. If He knew why does He let it happen? And, again, it goes back to free will. Satan and the fallen angels found out that free will gets them some entertainment, but WE WIN IN THE END. They broke away and became independent and destructive. But, we still WIN IN THE END. Get someone to wait with you, get someone to help you breath and pray. Get a posse of people who pray and have your back. YOU'LL SEE!
