Psalm 120:1 In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me!
Oh thank you Lord, thank you! All honour and glory and praise be unto you Most High God! Well, I’ve done a complete turn around, because I got a message today from the Father, that gave a little insight into the reasons for my rough walk this past week. We won’t get into the specifics, but apparently it wasn’t punishment, since I hadn’t done anything to really deserve that. It was just His way of shaping and moulding me a bit closer to the likeness of His Son, Jesus Christ, Our Saviour. Oh joyous and blessed day! Today I’m laughing both inside and out. However, He warned me not to get too complacent or full of myself, because He wasn’t quite finished. I was still a work in progress, which means there’s more cutting and trimming in the offing, so I could better fit the mould. I guess it’s like when you plant stuff, you’ve got to continually prune it, so that it can grow straight and strong. Who says our God isn’t a wonderful Father eh, and an excellent horticulturist too! (smile) But seriously Friends, this proves that although the Lord doesn’t dance to our tune, He does listen and answer our pleas, only in His own way and time. He does fiddle with our minds though, because earlier today, while lying in bed, ‘between sleep and wake’ I found the thoughts for the opening of Today’s Bit seeping into my mind. Chuh! I tried to brush them aside, arguing that people didn’t want to hear about my problems. But He was persistent, reasoning that ‘Yesterday you told them how I mistreated you, even though you were doing the right thing, and wasn’t even man enought to explain why. Well it’s only fair to let them know that today I finally gave you an answer.’ I could not rebut that logic. So here it is. And when it came time to choose a Bit, I obviously went straight to Bruh David. I wanted something to do with thanks and praise, but the Lord had other ideas. There’s a bookmark at the last part of Psalm 119, that I’m currently reading for my mother, whose eyesight is failing, so the Bible naturally opened there, and, much to my surprise, the appropriate words, underlined in red, were staring at me. ‘In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.’ Yes Friends, He does listen. You’ll seldom get an immediate answer, unless it’s an emergency, so, having posed your question with confidence and reverence, you’ve then got to wait and listen attentively, for you never know when and how He’ll answer. Much LOVE!…when talking to God… patient listening is of the utmost importance…
