JOURNAL=PATIENCE-TRUST IN THE LORD

JOURNAL=TRUST IN THE LORD




“I have WAITED-WAITED for the Lord-and he stooped TOWARD ME........” Psalm 40:2




HOW PATIENT are you WHEN you are waiting on that MIRACLE-WAITING ON GOD-or waiting on that LIFE EVENT that just doesn't seem to ever come-WHEN I was young-I was NOT AS PATIENT as life events have forced me to become-I WANTED TO ACT- a minute ago was not soon enough-GRANDFATHER MURPHY used to say: “too bad you cannot put old heads on young bodies”
-and it is-because I SUSPECT-that we could have- as the young people today COULD HAVE-learned a little bit of PATIENCE-and along with it-A LITTLE MORE HUMILITY


I WANTED to meet the PERFECT GIRL-go to college-START a career and a FAMILY-but life-and GOD had other PLANS FOR ME-AND what I LEARNED IS that LIFE-LOVE-and TRUTH-are all the NATURE OF GOD-and no matter WHERE WE ARE in life-that is REALLY ALL-that is important


OUR JOB is to get up EVERY DAY-thank God for another day of life-BE PATIENT-and watch the signs that GOD PUTS in our life-and TREAT our FELLOW TRAVELERS with LOVE-KINDNESS and RESPECT


WE HAVE to TRUST that GOD is PRESENT IN OUR LIVES-and using us-by WORKING through us
-IF we are just quiet enough and PATIENT ENOUGH to notice


it is A GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us-and a great day TO BE as PATIENT with ourselves and others-AS GOD IS PATIENT WITH US-and TRUST that GOD KNOWS what he is doing-EVEN when we don't

TRUST IN THE LORD








Who are you going to trust


TRUST IN THE LORD


We live in a time
When almost all miracles
Are called medical miracles


We are leaving God
OUT OF THE PICTURE


How would you define the word “miracle”


I would define the word “miracle”
As when you’ve come
To the end of what medical science can do
Or-is willing to do
GOD-THE CREATOR AND THE SPIRIT OF LIFE-takes over


What has happened
In my life
Is definitely a “GOD” miracle
And I am proud
To boast in the Lord


TRUST IN THE LORD


In 1977-I walked away from
Peritonitis-gangrene-surgical shock- and a 108 degree temperature


Yet here I am


In additional years in the late 1970’s
And early 1980’s
I walked away-three times
From critical situations
That overlapped my birthday


“Vindicate me-oh Lord
For I have led a blameless life
I have trusted in the Lord
Without wavering” Psalm 26:1


I don’t pretend
EVEN TO MYSELF
That I have lived a blameless life


But I will tell you this
I HAVE TRUSTED in the Lord our God
TRUSTED-over and over again


And so
As I face some more
Difficult medical decisions
I will tell you this


I have NOTHING
Against medical science
But I am
GOING TO TRUST IN THE LORD


The Lord our God
Has given me miracle after miracle
In my life


WHO ARE YOU GOING TO TRUST?


God gave me LIFE once in 1955
He gave me life a second time-in 1977
He has performed MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE
In my life


WHO ARE YOU GOING TO TRUST?


“But if SERVING the Lord
Seems undesirable to you
Then choose for yourself-THIS DAY
Whom you will serve
Whether the gods your forefathers served
Beyond the river
Or the gods of the Amorites
In whose land you are living


But as for me
And my household ( ONLY ME )
We will serve the Lord” Joshua 24:15


TRUST IN THE LORD

Ps THE LORD GOD
Gave me life more than once
I figure-it is his decision
WHEN TO BRING ME HOME
