"For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."
Put the promises of God in your cart! As I go down the aisles of Scripture I can know that God gives me His promises. Two things that the speaker said though, were good reminders:
Read the label; is this promise addressed to you (or are you getting someone else's mail?) or (for instance) is it for the nation of Israel? or perhaps addressed to a specific individual?
(r.e. Haggai 2:23, to Zerubbabel)
Due to the fact that Syd cannot eat certain migraine-causing substances, I am a huge label reader! I also work at the Post office, so these questions stood out to me.
Is the promise conditional? and am I submitting to the condition? Psalm 37:4 It is easy to say, "He shall give thee the desires of thine heart", but am I truly delighting myself in the Lord?
At this time I'm experiencing some changes in my body which seem to affect me emotionally. Am I faithfully committing every area and instance, where irritating "rubs" come along, to my heavenly Father? I say to myself, 'If not, I am out of the will of God!'
His Word tells me I cannot just "grin and bear it", gritting my teeth all the way, but
"...unto all patience and longsuffering, with JOYFULNESS..." Colossians1:11
The most important thing to me right now is that I stay in the Word of God so that I can faithfully do my daily tasks.
Our heavenly Father is so good to us! He's given me an opportunity to take orders for "name rocks" (my own I have at my PO window) At 5:30 this morning I was delivering my rocks to the Post Office, as this particular "order" came from one of the girls who works there. Here are a few pictures, which don't show the intricate detail, but gives an idea of what they look like:
Her order was for 10 "sister's" rocks (all her sisters and sister-in-laws) and for all 6 of her grandchildren
