Okay Erin, Check This Out...

You know how they say God speaks in a still small voice? Well...lately I have been hit over the head with it! I came home recently angry about something that I felt was an injustice. My devotion waiting for me was entitled: Let the Lord Be Your Defense (and it even went into the SPAM folder, when they have never gone there before!) It has happened so many times recently I can't even count them. God gives me exactly what I need to hear. Today I read your blog Erin, about Phillipians and learning to be content. It was very good. Something we all need to be reminded of. What I find interesting is that after that I decided to read my devotion, and it is entitled: Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled. Here is a portion, "So, when fearful, anxious thoughts come, remind yourself of Jesus' words: "Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid." Even when things appear to get worse, say, "Lord, I refuse to worry about this. In the midst of all this, I see the finished work of Christ. He said, "It is finished!" So my child's healing is accomplished. My marriage is blessed. My debts are cleared. I will not let my heart be troubled by these things. Beloved, I cannot "let not" for you. Your family and friends cannot "let not" for you. Only you can "let not your heart be troubled". So guard your heart from being troubled. You don't have to guard your career, reputation, children or even health. When you guard your heart, God will guard everything else for you!"

Once again, it's about a daily choice. Choosing to have faith, even when you don't see possibilities of things being fixed, or healed, or mended. So easy to talk the talk!
