It is always fear first and then anger or shame pain spiritual or emotional pain To what extent should we push the limits..?..eating better foods excercise, sleep,..... I have a friend who has a rough life lost a spouse, almost lost a second spouse smoked a lot in the earlier years these days there are lung problems and bone problems etc....but this person although using foul language....professes to know God. I used to use a lot of foul language myself... so this is not about foul language....in fact I still struggle with foul language....another person said in conversation recently...we agreed that...the anger and frustration that make us cuss is the real problem...and so we find ouselves USING the foul language sometimes without mouthing a word. We say we are in the F mode with the MUTE button on. Going to work.... all the time from one job to another no time for family taking the pills to go to sleep at the right time and then to stay awake Is this the management of our lives....? "WE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT OUR LIVES HAD BECOME UNMANAGABLE" GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995) O LORD, I know that the way humans act is not under their control. Humans do not direct their steps as they walk. Jeremiah 10:23 (click it to read the rest) so now we break a bone..... an accident.....not really Did God intervene ? this person thinks so now in fact they state without doubt.... This person now acknowledges God The struggling seems to have stopped There is no other way out As I sat and listened last evening.... The visit began with the complaining... "I can't live like this....I must have a check" by the end of the visit there was another attitude emerging resingation peace not only is the bone broken my will is broken I admit that there is nothing I can do now for at least 12 weeks. my family is around everyday now... I can enjoy them ________________________ drop THY still dew of quietness till all our striving cease take from our souls the strain and stress and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of THY peace _________________
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. |
