Tomorrow should be ‘fun’
Well, I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to end up needing some serious energy/enthusiasm/grace/discernment before its all over with. Especially if its anything like today seemed to be… The most memorable part of it was trying to talk someone off the anger ledge. Personally, I basically agree with them but its this person’s inherent lack of filtration on their brain-mouth interface that made me feel like I needed to say something. Maybe it was a function of my passivity, I don’t know, but I felt like I had to. Anyways, if they still go ahead and sink themselves that’s entirely on them.
Psalm 19:3-4 ESV There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

Well, guess I had better be signing off. G’night and God bless
And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You fools!

Psalm 17:13-15 ESV Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword, from men by your hand, O Lord from men of the world whose portion is in this life.You fill their womb with treasure; they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants. As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.

Luke 11:27-28 ESV As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
James 4:7-8, 10 ESV Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Father, you know each individual situation we’re in and our strengths and weaknesses. Reveal yourself in each of them and enable us to experience you more and more fully. Personally, if its part of your plan I’d like nothing more than to speak with your voice and help bring at least some measure of stability to the situation. Father, I’m glad and thankful that you’re a healer. I have no idea what’s going on with her but she seemed to be on a much more ‘even keel’ today. Whatever the cause or reason I wouldn’t mind too much if it was permanent. Permanence there would definitely be widely felt. :-D
