Blaze and Wanda are doing
better. Blaze is still wary, but not as
defensive. They were both outside this
morning and Wanda tried to get Blaze to play – poor Blaze he doesn’t know
how.
Before this is all over, maybe
he will learn.
Cats are around, but keeping a
low profile. Wanda is just too
aggressive when he sees any of them.
Psalm 13 How long wilt thou
forget me, O Lord? for
ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from
me?
2 How long shall I take
counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy
be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O
Lord my God: lighten mine
eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I
have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am
moved.
5 But I have trusted in
thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy
salvation.
6 I will sing unto the
Lord, because he hath dealt
bountifully with me.
There are times in almost
everyone’s life that we cry out, how much longer lord?
How much longer must I endure
this trial in my life?
We have many Christians
worldwide that can ask this question, who may feel that they can take no more of
the persecution and destruction cast upon them by the enemy.
They are incarcerated without
trial, they are beaten and taken from their families for even the mention of
Jesus.
There are those that have a
terminal illness and excruciating pain as they suffer the ravages of the
disease.
There are times our everyday
life is a struggle, we have problems at work, problems in the family and nothing
seems to go right for us.
We are beaten down and defeated
– yet so many Christians have learned that when they find themselves in these
conditions God and His precious Son is even more real as they are ministered to
by the Holy Spirit.
It is easy to feel distress and
discouragement, it is easy to focus on our issues and forget that God is there
for us. We want relief and it does not
come to us.
But in those countries where it
is forbidden to even mention the name of Jesus, His church is growing. More and more people are realizing that it is
only through Jesus that they can be saved from their sins.
The Holy Spirit is not leaving
us; He is not giving up on us.
We need to have faith in God But
I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy
salvation.
6
I will sing unto the
Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully
with me.
God is ever present; we but have
to reach out in prayer and praise to reach Him.
While satan points out our
weaknesses, God is there to shore us up.
Mathew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye
that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and
my burden is light.
Life may not be easy for some,
but neither was it easy for Christ.
He turned to the Father for
strength. So can we and when we go with
Christ we go directly to Him.
Let us not let satan dictate our
response to trials and tribulations, let us turn them into testimonies of the
great love God possess for us.
Later, Art :-)
