BARUCH CHAPTER 2 VS 16-18 "Oh Lord, Look down from Your Holy Dwelling and take thought of us, turn Oh Lord, to hear us. Look directly at us and behold, it is not the dead in the nether world whose Spirits have been taken from within them, who will give Glory and vindication to You, Lord. He whose soul is deeply grieved, who walks bowed and feeble, with failing eyes and famished souls will declare Your Glory and Justice, Lord" All along, I know a major lesson and challenge on my journey is patience. Yet, I know, each day, I face this challenge, knowing full well that God's eyes are resting on me. Yet, I sometimes cannot resist the temptation to be impatient. The all time consuming wonder of "what will be". Yet, things are constantly changing and within the answers to the questions, are only more questions...this is our journey. So, in this, lies the "moment". The moment where Jesus says "Come to me all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will give you rest" (Matt 11 vs 28) Rest from "wonder", rest from "worry", rest from thinking "I" have to figure ANYTHING out. Because as Ecclesiastes says Chapter 7 vs 24 "What exists is far-reaching. It is deep, very deep, who can find it out?" Chapter 7 VS 27 "This I have found out, adding one thing to another that I might discover the answer which my soul seeks and has not found." VS 29 "Behold, only this I have found out: God made mankind straight, but men have recourse to many calculations" In all this I get...Plain and simple. Trust God in all things, without doubt, knowing His way is THE way. Keep your eyes and heart on Jesus, as you go along your daily journey, confident that you are on the right path when you follow Him. THEN...then give all Glory to God, because each minute is a blessing and a miracle, as you are in the Presence of an all powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving God. PTL Thank you Jesus.
