In your best digitized voice, sing it to me now! I can't hear you!
Scatterbrained
I have lots on my mind today ... for one - trying to eat this taco salad might not be such a good idea after all. Still some post-op swelling and soreness in my mouth from my gum grafting procedure last week.
I'm thinking about a friend who's had this headache for over 4 days. Doctors gave him a scary preliminary prognosis of a cyst, blood clot, or tumor, but they are running more tests today. Praying for a peace that passes understanding as they await results.
I'm thinking about my daughter who'll be attending her Jr. Prom tomorrow. Where did the time go? I'm so proud of the young woman she's become. Hope she enjoys herself tomorrow, for it will soon be a 20-year old memory.
I'm thinking about my friend's half iron man race tomorrow and hope he kills it! Everyone needs a cheering squad - I hope someone's there to yell his name and meet him at the finish line!
Thinking about other stuff that only God knows.
And thinking about how all this thinking makes me wanna nap!
Living Above the Circumstances
You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. Isaiah 26:3 (Amplified Bible)
I still like some scriptures in the good old King James Version. Just sounds so poetic.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3 (King James Version)
Wanted to share something that I read a few weeks ago from Sarah Young's devotional, "Jesus Calling, Enjoying Peace in His Presence."
Waiting, trusting, and hoping are intricately connected, like golden strands interwoven to form a strong chain. Trusting is the central strand, because it is the response from My children that I desire most. Waiting and hoping embellish the central strand and strengthen the chain that connects you to Me. Waiting for Me to work, with your eyes on Me, is evidence that you really do trust Me. If you mouth the words "I trust You" while anxiously trying to make things go your way, your words ring hollow. Hoping is future-directed, connecting you to your inheritance in heaven. However, the benefits of hope fall fully on you in the present.Because you are Mine, you don't just pass time in your waiting. You can wait expectantly, in hopeful trust. Keep your "antennae" out to pick up even the faintest glimmer of My Presence.
