I wrestle with words as my
furry friend lies on my chest. Rusty wants a walk, rather expects one and is
waiting. As my precious daughter’s finger picking her guitar and softly singing
a beautiful melody this gives way to a peaceful silence, and then she plays
again. My daughter’s been gifted more than she can know. It’s not that she just
sings and plays well. It is that as she sings the sweet Holy Spirit comes and
ministers to me.
It’s as when David played
before Saul and the demons left but for a while. I have no demons per say. (And Jesus doesn't share space with demons;
CHISTIANS cannot be demon possessed, just oppressed). Demons can be like pesky mosquitoes
or fleas on a dog. They are a nuisance! Sometimes condemnation tries to creep
it ugly head into my thoughts. Yes, I know there is NO condemnation in Christ
(Romans 8) and I know I have to take these thoughts captive, like all rogue
thoughts. And, I do or at least most the
time.
Interruptions plagues the
work God has set before us, but the funny thing is, God recycles. I mean He
uses the things Satan meant to harm us and God brings forth a rose, something
sweet and pleasing. Our Father takes the evils of this world to produce the
loving saints of God, His children. Joseph recognized this well in Genesis 45. “What
you meant for evil, God meant for good” (my condensed paraphrase). Joseph recognized
it was God that sent him into that debacle of rejection, slavery, and prison.
His attitude could have been in anger to God, but it wasn't.
God preserved Joseph, but
more that, through him and his with willingness to go through all this hard
stuff, God used Joseph to birth the nation of Israel Israel
came with his small clan to Egypt
to avoid famine and left a few million strong with Egypt
I heard a radio preacher
telling a story of a lady who only brought God her big problems. The preacher replied to her, “Madam all your problems are small ones to
God.” There is nothing too big or too little
to bring to our Lord. Bring it all!
