Amen, Kathy. The Hebrew word for fear is yir'âh, which means "moral reverence." When used in fear outside of God, it means "to what we turn our ear toward." Hum, listening to the voice of God or the voice of the enemy. I choose God!
Woke this morning to yet another rainy day in southern California. I love the rain, everything about it, when God opens the clouds in his sky to distribute their life-giving, life-saving, life-restoring, drought-ending inventory; what’s not to love?
Ah, yes, the flip-side of every coin, “for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.” On the flip-side of rain, for some, often many, eventually all of us, does too come great challenges, in the form of floods that can suddenly, easily destroy everything in their path, wet roads that set the stage for horrible traffic accidents, make already difficult living conditions for those living homeless -- even more harsh; just to mention a few.
We’ve had a rare wet winter season here, came unexpected, lasted longer than expected, lingering still.
The wonders of God’s nature serve flawlessly on the rails of give and take, but there exists, I believe, a whisper-of-guidance on a latent third-rail-of-conveyance dynamically flowing like vortices off the roll-tumbling edges of any of life’s coins tossed into the air. All we have to do is simply listen, tune our God given senses to receive the clear notes quietly singing energetically amplified in the vibrations, then - keeping it simple, do that.
“Life’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.” Perhaps, for those not paying attention. But I think life’s more like a weather channel: when tuned-in and paying attention, we are inundated with forecasts, some accurate, some not, but all with the power to move us to action/inaction, to protect our precious-to-others selves, if we give reasonable weight to any forecasted warnings.
After reading today’s post, I felt compelled to step outside and look up into the sky, feel the cool mist and raindrops on my face that delivered an unexpected check on my bucket-list: wash away genuine tears of anticipated grief and replace them with an equally genuine hope and confidence of a will and action forced recovery for someone. That someone, is now you.
The doctor’s call was the forecast: storm is coming. Taking every necessary action to get out of harm’s-way remains an option, as long as the gift of life’s breath remains.
I sense to the depths of my soul, God is far from being near-done with the work along the path he’s set you upon..
It is a pleasure to watch God in His sovereign control. To know He has the power to begin life and end it is a great comfort. The mystery is in watching humanity destroy life while God remains in charge - something He has done since the murder of Abel. Better yet, the majesty of Him releasing Satan to practice destruction while He remains in control of each and every decision the enemy makes with humans & beyond. God is an awesome God.
So good. “Dying without regret requires a power greater than us to free us from the consequences of regretful decisions.” What precedes this is living without regret. Living in offense can surely be a poison that eats at our souls. Will be praying for your fulfillment to the call he has for your living. And the health and sustenance to drive it. I appreciate your words. Thanks.
Dr. Phenney I am saddened by your letter for I have been anxiously waiting for good results by one s estimation. We know there is a no better place . Then to be with our precious Jesus.
The transmission to that can be less then joyful in the flesh .
I want to personally thank you for the way you encouraged me in the recent year. You or I should say Jesus through you has brought me often through dark places
Into His glorious light. Thank you . I am still trusting God for you.❤️
As stadet before I am more sensitive towards then most to any medication . The drugs used in my area a bussy street right in front of my apt.
I am affected most days and nights. A area for bullies and evil. By the way I am effected physically it's some very strong drugs . It often knocks me of my feet. By my God's grace who keeps my focus on our life In Him the hope of glory.
I must say it's been a struggle hard to understand God's alowing this as I already have difficulty with balance.
Thankfully I do know him well enough to know. Only He is in control whatever they drow at me He will see me through .
Since you sen the letter about beein an informant you understand what drug aticts are capable of doing. Most people simply don't understand . So I feel often aline. In this.
Moving is not an option for me unless God will open low housing for me as the waiting lists are very long.
Personally I don't think this is necessarily the answer . God has taught me so much I want to understand beeing death to this and alive in Him.. Can't fully understood that I can't change my emotions nor is it my responsibility.
I am reading again The handbook to happiness and God's word. I want to live experience where I am positioned that I am seatd in him there should be no fear of evil and tread.
Sorry . Thank you for listening may God bless you in a special way today.
I am still grieving Dr Stanley's passing but I also know he is where he longed to be.
It is burdensome to read about the struggles you are facing. Your right. He is in control of all the suffering His children face. As you know, I get the bully syndrome. Staying faithful to Him and His Word amid the battle of Satan's bullies is a major challenge. Kathy, I will pray for you as the Lord brings you to mind. I love you, sister.
Thank you . Your words mean so much.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife often .
Thank you for understanding . And as we walk together through the 23psalm we are learning to fear no evil for He our Shepherd is with us.
In us. Kathy

Do you have a near-death story? I would enjoy reading it.

Do those things, necessary to heal..
In Jesus’ name, I pray..

This is powerful . I will print it . Thank you .
Yes. This one was birthed through much thought, prayer, and a dose of pain.

Now, those were great words to wake up to. Thank you, Don.
