THINKING!!????

I was thinking ……and thinking……and thinking……tomorrow I will have been on this earth for 73 years. As I look back I see the hand of the Lord God Almighty in every phase of my life.

I have seen situations that shook me to my very soul and I have walked through difficulties I hope none of you have to walk through, but I have seen God’s Love and His hand of Mercy in every moment of my life.

The Word of the living God tells us of His Faithfulness and it tells us in Psalm 30 verse five: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

No matter how dark the night is morning always comes. The sun may be hidden behind some clouds or a storm may still be making its way across our town, but morning always comes.

I could share incident after incident when the hand of God invaded a situation in my life and gave me Peace and direction.

Have all my choices been good and right? Absolutely not!! But the Father never took His eyes off of me. Have I handle every situation right? Absolutely not!

Have I always prayed for Gods will before making a life changing choice? I am sorry to say that I did not. But in all of these times My God was faithful even when I just did it my way.

I can declare to you without hesitation that:

Psalm 27:1 (KJV)
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

I can declare to you that God has fulfilled the promise found in the scripture below:

Psalm 91:16 (KJV)
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Last May I had to go to the emergency room and found that my heart rate was 27 and that my status was critical. The electrical system of my heart had quit operating correctly. They put in a temporary pacemaker and followed a couple of days later with a permanent pacemaker. In the emergency room, the Doctor was using words like critical, paddles, ventilators.

You may not believe it but the truth is that the entire time: in the ER, through the insertion of both pacemakers and my time in the hospital and recovery at home, I have constantly been at Peace.

I thank God for the prayers of my friends and family that God heard and answered and I thank God for the brilliant Doctors who are using the minds God gave them to save lives.

And I thank God that He is not through with me in this world yet. I still have lives to influence and work to do.

But most of all I thank Him for the Peace that the world cannot give.

Acts 20:24 (KJV)
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Why am I going down memory lane today? Because I want to share the lessons I have learned through 73 years of this journey called life.

GOD NEVER FAILS. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER. CALL ON HIM AND HE WILL SHOW YOU HIS POWER. HE INVADES YOUR INNERMOST BEING WITH PEACE, JOY AND LOVE. THIS LIFE IS A VAPOR SO CONCENTRATE ON ETERNAL THINGS.

AND MOST IMPORTANT: LOVE GOD AND LOVE EACH OTHER!!
