Many emotions find themselves crowding the inner man today. (Eph 3.16, 2 Cor 4.16) Yet the desire is to stay true to the Lord in all. Not impossible but at times, challenging. Because we understand that a doubleminded man is unstable in ALL his ways. (Jms 1.8) I want to be fruitful (Col 1.10) to the praise of His glory (Eph 1.6) rather than unstable to all who would observe my witness of Him. (1 Jn 5.9)
If I did not stay fixed always on the Lord, any one of the emotions would win out over praise. The Psalmist penned my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him (man), nor suffer My (the Lord's) faithfulness to fail. When so many conflicting emotions are swirling about it is a comfort to know He still loves my, "kindly" and will always be "faithful" to this believer.Because the Lord Jesus told us that He would not leave us comfortless, (Jn 14.18), we may depend on the Holy Spirit as Comforter, Guide and Teacher. (Jn 14.26, 16.13). This is my desire today. Regardless of the "man emotions" swirling about, I may remain, steady, faithful and fixed on Him because He is such with me.
All that being stated, I will explain a few details about yesterday. My heart was happy because of a joyous birthday of a sweet, wonderful, darling six year old. The same celebration yielded of few mixed emotions from the past due to one guest. Most of the memories of the past are put far behind and the Lord has moved me "farther on." Daily life still includes burdens but nothing that cannot be borne. Yesterday, many conflicting things happening at church. Since my heart is fixed on Him, I choose to yield all to His perfect will.
Flash forward to this blog post and several auto details need to be addressed today. Personal prayer and bible reading is completed. A beautiful, glorious Spring day is seen outside the bedroom window. "Life goes on" and He is faithful.
Conclusion of todays thought: He is faithful, are you?
God bless and keep you is my prayer.
