to him who led his people through the desert,Once again we are reminded of God's leading. He leads us in the good times and in the harshest of times. It seems like we always want His leading the most when times are bad. But the next hard time that comes up, we have already forgotten His guiding hand from the last time.
His love endures forever.
(NIV)
And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. (NIV) Don't you just love fresh starts. They're not always fresh, but they are a start. The God that we serve is a God of fresh starts. My mind goes to the many times that Christ reached out his hand, pulling a lame man to his feet, and saying, "...now go and sin no more." Or the woman caught in adultery, "...neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more." Only a God of grace will allow a swallowed man to repent. Praise Him.
That is so frustratingly true.
ReplyDeleteLife is OK but I have these spiritual dry times & I wonder if
I've blown it......there's a heap of stuff that seems to go with this
[boredom, irritability, anxiousness,despondent apathy]
Funny how these times seem to come when I least expect it.
