I know this feeling. It's scratchy......Mmm... I know this feeling. It's scratchy... it's grey... it's not me and I know it's not God. I know as close as I am with God, I would know if I wasn't where I'm suppose to be right now. <br /><br />I think the clue in dealing with thoughts like these is not to. I think the very first line of Psalms 5:11 nails it down for me.<br /><br />"But let all those who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice"<br /><br />I like that... I think this place, for now, is my refuge, because I am in Him and He will not let me move right or left. So, I am rejoicing with this moment... this time.<br /><br />I love how you draw these kinds of reflection from us Brenda. You make us think and thank... lol.<br /><br /><3Preston Pittmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807538012917472237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682373378724891350.post-54497930091951297072011-01-03T04:57:52.245-08:002011-01-03T04:57:52.245-08:00I understand the disappointment, but the message I...I understand the disappointment, but the message I was "trying" to convey, is that God is there with us in our trials. He never promised us a life without disappointment. There are so many misunderstanding from word interpretations. His "favor" is a shield of [spiritual] protection. Not that he will grant you all that you desire. I will go back and add the verses. Sorry...I have been down with the flu and my head is all fuzzy. God bless you.<br /><br />"But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield."

The issue I am having is that I do expect God's favor but get disappointed when what I end up w/ is not even close to God's favor.Pamnoreply@blogger.com
