The week that was

Well, if relaxation is the first thing that this picture brings to your mind then relaxation was far removed from my life for this past week. For each day, there was something that really ruffled my feathers and had me in some situations trying hard to contain my anger. I admit I did not win all the battles, but I have not lost the war as I am still resting on the everlasting arms of my Saviour, knowing that it is the only place of safety and comfort when life seems more than I can handle.



I am tempted to say...I don't want another week like the last, but I am reminded that "He knoweth the way that I take, when he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold"-Job 23:10. So no matter how stormy it gets, and the apprehension and wishes for a never again, my life is not mine and I can never know what will come my way. But, the assurance of God's omnipotence and his omniscience enables me to cast my cares on Him, and in my moments of weakness cry out to Him.



In these times I find the psalms very potent. Psalm 130:1-2 was almost like a mantra. Out of the depths I cry to you, O lord; O Lord hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.


So how am I now? I am great. The joy of the Lord is my strength. So let me encourage you to continue trusting. Some statements may seem like just another christian cliche, but remember that there is nothing that you will experience that God cannot handle. Rest, trust and totally commit all you ways to Him.

Shalom.
