I WOULD FLY AWAY AND REST

I do not know about you.  But I am getting really

tired of all the misinformation and lies that have 

been fed to the public the last few weeks.  It is 

becoming obvious that the "crises" is being fueled

and used in an effort to bring the whole world under

government control - no matter what country you 

live in - a world controlled by the government.

God's word told us these days were coming, and 

here they are, whether we like it or not.

But being so tired of it all the 55th Psalm made

a real impression on me today.  The Scriptures

quoted are from Psalm 55 in the NLT.

This is king David pleading with God when he

was in a whole lot of trouble by those who hated

him.  His troubles were not the same as yours

and mine, but we can learn where to go by them.

"Listen to my prayer, O God.

Do not ignore my cry for help!

Please listen and answer me,

for I am overwhelmed by my

troubles."  

(Verses 1,2)

And king David wanted out of it just like 

you and I would.

"Oh, that I had wings like a dove;

then I would fly away and rest!

I would fly far away

to the quiet of the wilderness.

How quickly I would escape -

far from this wild storm of hatred."

(Verses 6 - 8)

We know that in time David was delivered

out of these troubles and in the next to last

verse in this chapter he gives us the necessary

clue for the help we need.

"Give your burdens to the LORD,

and he will take care of you.

He will not permit the godly to

slip and fall."  

(Verse 22)

HELP IN TROUBLE

"God is our shelter and strength,

always ready to help in times

of trouble.

"So we will not be afraid,

even if the earth is shaken

and mountains fall into

the ocean depths;

even if the seas roar and rage,

and the hills are shaken

by the violence."

"The Lord Almighty is with us;

the God of Jacob is our refuge."

(Psalms 46:1-3 & 11 GNT)

TROUBLES

I do not know who's car this is.

I assume that they must live up the 

road from me.  But I am sure they 

have TROUBLE.

I was just reading in the Good News Translation

when something Moses said about God's dealing 

with Israel really caught my attention.

..."He sent hardships on you to test

you, so that in the end he could bless

you with good things."

(Deuteronomy 8:16 GNT)

And you know of course the often quoted

verse;

"We know that in all things God works

for good with those who love him,

those whom he has called according

to his purpose."

(Romans 8:28 GNT)

And, 

"My friends, consider yourselves 

fortunate when all kinds of trials

come your way, for you know

that when your faith succeeds in 

facing such trials, the result is the

ability to endure.

(James 1:2,3 GNT)

I do not know the end of the matter yet.

It appears that God has granted me a new

lease on life.  I have just came through a

little over a year of TROUBLE.  A time

I should have died, and part of the time 

I wanted to.  All of this after I have lived

a full life and should be dead anyway.

But what I want to assure you of is;

God has worked things out making 

it more than worth it.  My trials have

accomplished more in one year that

years of praying have.  Well - O.K.

perhaps that is the way God answered

my prayers.

BUT IT HAS ALL BEEN WORTH

IT!

Praise God for his faithfulness to me,

even in hardships and trials.

DAY BY DAY RENEWAL

"For this reason we never become discouraged.

Even though our physical being is gradually

decaying, yet our spiritual being is renewed day

after day.  And this small and temporary trouble

we suffer will bring us a tremendous and eternal

glory, much greater than the trouble.  For we fix

our attention, not on things that are seen, but on

things that are unseen.  What can be seen lasts only 

for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever.

(2 Corinthians 4:16-18 TEV)

TROUBLE AHEAD

"For forty years the LORD led you through the desert,

and your clothes and sandals never wore out.

You did not have bread to eat

or wine or beer to drink,

but the LORD provided for your needs

in order to teach you that he is your God."

(Deuteronomy 29:5,6 GNB)

There is trouble ahead.

BIG TROUBLE.

Unless you are an ostrich with your head in the sand,

you can see the whole world crumbling around you.

And you know that things are getting worse, not better.

If you are a student of the Bible, you know that things

are going to get much worse.  Worse than the world 

has ever known.

It is a historical fact that God lead over 600,000 men

with their wives and children through the desert from

Egypt to the their promised land.

And took care of them.

It is time for us to quit trusting in ourselves,

 and put our trust in the one who can take care of us -

 Jesus Christ our creator.
