Heavenly Father, Savior Son, Holy Spirit within, Great INDEED Is Thy Faithfulness to me, and so I will continue trusting you completely. You have never let me ‘down’ (aka death?) And have I not been ready for that? From The Inside Out INDEED you have taught over and over the lesson that your peace and joy don’t come from anything external, especially circumstances of “occupation”. “Your will above all else, my purpose remains, the art of losing myself in bringing you praise.” I Need Thee deeply, INDEED I do. So deeply, that nothing else really matters, especially these recurring fears and doubts of you – really, that’s what it comes down to: I say I believe totally, but I have “rational and reasonable” (or so I and the world think) reservations – double-mindedness, and I turn away to “bet safely”. But step-by-step, moment-by-moment, day-by-day intentional living IS the sure bet, not the long-shot, “just-one-time only” gamble. Father, thank you for this message.
Such a great, wonderful, entertaining, SCARY, ever-changing-but-in-strange-ways-ever-the-same journey you are taking me on. Just WOW!
Father, provide in your way and in your time.
And, BOYO! do I have a renewed appreciation for my partner, my love, my bestest friend, my wife, my life-saver Barb Keith, my Doobie!
In Jesus’ life-saving, life-changing name…
In every joyful moment of this day you have made…
