Most of you will know that that was a phrase used in a Tom Cruise - Cuba Gooding movie. The whole emphasis was, to perform those words in order to get pumped up and focused on "the issue at hand!"
This week I was impressed with reading about how God does see all the good and bad things that happen to us in our daily lives. David was always in God's face about feeling abandoned, or picked on, and forgotten. He would whine and Nash his teeth, but in the end, turn it over to the high God, and Praise Him anyway. Isaiah 61: 7 says Instead of your (former) shame you shall have a twofold recompense; instead of dishonor and reproach (your people) shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double (what they had forfeited); everlasting joy shall be theirs.
That is even better then "Show Me the Money!" It is God promising that no matter what is in front of us, God is always behind us. He has got all the offenses, all the lies to us, all the hurts, all the everything covered. He is SHOWING us that He is, of course, the judge and He will take care of it, no matter what it is. And, once again, our job then. Focus on giving Him glory and honor in whether you eat or drink, whatever it is, the total glory goes to Him.
I have listened to a lot of hurt people over these last 32 years as a counselor. The hardest thing they handle is . . ."Look at what this person did to me - they changed my life forever - I will never get that back!" I do believe that we do, He does. God has it covered. You just keep serving Him. it is no longer your problem.
