Good, Bad or Indifferent...

Job 2:10 Names of God Bible (NOG)

10 He said to her, “You’re talking like a godless fool. We accept the good that Elohim gives us. Shouldn’t we also accept the bad?”

Through all this Job’s lips did not utter one sinful word.

El, (God),never promised us a bed of rose. What He did promise is:

1. That He would be El Rio (The God Who Watches Over Me)
2. That He would be our Maon (Dwelling Place)
3. To ALWAYS be Yahew Shammah (The Lord Is There)

We need to trust in Him and His promises...then we may find peace in the chaos of the world.

My Driving Force

Jesus is the truth in my life. God's word  influences my choices..it influences how I see and react to others. Both Jesus and the word of God help me center myself and helps me prioritize things in my life...what is important and what is not. But...do I walk the talk...do I live out the words I preach
'.
I have just one life to live..Am I living to please myself or to please God? What is my true ''driving force'' in life? Over the coming weeks I will be reading ''Souvenirs of Solitude'' (Finding rest in Abba's embrace). As I contemplate on these questions I pray to be used by God to speak a word of grace to all who read my ''musings''. What better time to do this then th'e time we prepare our hearts and minds for the child who changed the 'world with His first cry, our Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. May we have an ''Advent"ure of a life time together.

Your Will Be Done

Luke 1:38a Names of God Bible (NOG)

38 Mary answered, “I am the Lord’s servant. Let everything you’ve said happen to me.”

Luke 1:45 Names of God Bible (NOG)

45 You are blessed for believing that the Lord would keep his promise to you.”

It can be so hard sometimes to answer as Mary did. Even though God may have brought us through trials. At times, when you are in the midst of your trial, it is difficult to see God working...the feel His presence with you. It may seem impossible to give Mary's trusting answer.

When we "try, try, again" and we still aren't seeing the answer...the out come...the good in the chaos...that we trial it is hard to keep going sometimes. When we feel that God is not listening it is hard to continue through to the end. We we feel that God has given us too much to bear...it is hard to trust in His goodness.

It is moments like these that we need to draw nearer to God...nearer to His heart. It is from this position that we can see and feel the light of His presence, feel the warmth of His love, feel the strength of "Elohim Migdal-Oz" (God the Strong Tower). It is then when we can call Him "Yaweh Tsur" (The Lord My Rock).

When we have that feeling of safety...that our God is there...we are blessed with peace  for believing the Lord's promises to His children...to be with them ALWAYS...
