Today’s Scrip-Bit 21 October 2007 Psalm 34:4&6 Psalm 35:28.‏

Psalm 34:4&6, 35:28    I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.  And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all day long.
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you Lord, thank you! Over the last couple weeks, the ole fella’s been struggling with a particular matter, very near and dear to his heart, and just could not figure out how to handle it. Of course I asked for Heavenly Guidance, and several sensible, workable options that seemed to come from up yonder registered on my mental network. Unfortunately though, when I tried putting them into effect, all of them eventually fell through, for one reason or another. I was getting more frustrated and irritable with each passing day that saw no progress. I didn’t seem to be getting any help from man nor God, and time was running out on me, the problem was getting worse. Finally, yesterday, I just threw up my hands in anguish and despair and said, that’s it yes Lord! I can’t do anymore. I don’t know how to handle this, because every time I think you’ve given me the answer, that solution falls apart. I’m just letting it go now, because it’s slowly killing me. Just leaving it up to you now, and whatever happens, happens. I obviously did not give up completely, but I relaxed a little. Lo and behold, today a small breakthrough occurred, a glimmer of hope surfaced. Now it’s only a glimmer, but at least this option seems to be telling me that I’m on the right track. And who says prayer doesn’t work eh? I guess I was just too impatient, I wanted immediate answers and solutions. But the Most High apparently wasn’t ready to grant them. As He says, our time is not necessarily His time. I can now understand how David felt when he claimed that he sought the Lord, and he delivered him from all his fears. This poor ole fella certainly cried out! And it seems as though Infinitely Everything heard him. However, I’m not going to get carried away just yet. I’m crossing my fingers, knocking on some wood and keeping on praying. And most definitely Friends, most definitely, my tongue shall speak of His righteousness and I shall give Him praise all day, as well as every day, for He is a most generous and loving God. Much LOVE…and keep on praying…it may take time, but keep on praying!
