July 19 – Psalm 37: 1-11, Philippians 4:6-7, Romans 8:28
So I’m thinking — heat and drought and grasshoppers. how do I, in practice, live with them and still live “above” them? I remember reading about a boy that they said was the first to actually survive rabies. When the reporter asked the staff at the hospital how they did it, they said they just dealt with each symptom as it came up. I can do that. Get up early and water what I can. Spray what I can. Ask God for what I need. Remember it’s temporary. Thank God for it, trusting Him to know best. And rest in Him. Above!
And when I think, “What have I used to come to this?” it’s my Armada!
Psalm 37: 1-11 Philippians 4:6-7 Romans 8:28
I love these snippets of your day, Mom!
Your Armada? Explanation, please?
It’s what I do battle with. I can’t think of anything I’ve faced that at least one in this group of verses hasn’t come to my aid. Trust in the Lord, and do good. Or how to pray in Philippians. Give thanks in everything. Rest in Him. Delight yourself in the Lord. EVERYTHING will turn out for my good, if I love God AND am called according to His purpose for me, which is my being made like Jesus. It gives me faith and hope and courage. It tells me how to pray and how to act and how to rest. Did you get a quarter answer for a nickel question?!! Sorry! I love these verses! I COULD have given you a dollar answer!
Thanks, Mom!
