Thoughts...

I have been praying a lot these days, constantly actually because my mind is going CRAZY! The verse that I posted is an awesome verse but I have to be careful. While I do believe that God used the judge in great ways, I need to be careful not to ascribe works to God and thus claim promises that aren't claimable. The verse is still very much true, NO ONE CAN UNDO THE WORK THAT GOD HAS DONE. However, that does not mean that what was done on this earth on Jan 12 by human hands is not undoable. We live in a sinful world, with sinful people and lies gallore, and therefore sin occurs. The judge is not perfect and he may renig on his word. Only God is perfect and NEVER renigs any words, promises ever. I will cling to HIS words and HIS promises. He will never leave me nor forsake me. All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. The works of the Lord are GOOD. Trials are temorary, pain is momentary, God is eternal, His plans are eternal. Therefore I submit again, to another trial this week. Another opportunity to display the superiority of the life lived in Christ. God is giving me peace amidst the turmoil of my mind. The magnitude of the events on Friday are huge, but NOT BIGGER THAN GOD! The attempt to take Jackson, again, is scary, horrific, painful, but NOT more than God can give me strength to endure. The false accusations are out there, but God is bigger than that. I am trusting Him for a complete closure to this while praying not my will but His be done. While I want NOTHING less than this again in our lives, I want nothing more than what GOD has for us. So by faith, I say, Lord thy will be done. Help me Jesus to stay the course. To keep my eyes focused on you, your plans, your LOVE, your PERFECTION. Again I ask that you God would calm the raging sea of thoughts in my mind, replace them with thoughts of you Heavenly Father. Strengthen me this day and these days and fill me with your spirit that on Friday, whatever the outcome, my heart and mouth will speak, "Blessed be the Name of the LORD!". I can say this because, as James MacDonald writes "No matter what happens or comes our way, we have a God who is in complete control"! Thank you God that you ARE in complete control and that you love me! Because of your love I know that your will is perfect and I can rest in your sovereignty. Help me Lord Jesus, please help me.
