firm foundation

Thursday, May 9. 2019 (6:37 a.m.)

Good Morning Lord,

I just had a rather disturbing dream. Lots of details. Subtle specifics. A lingering after-effect. Thank You for the parts of it that were truly delightful. Contrasting all that made little to no sense.

Thank You for the reminder just now that it is not our job to make sense of insanity (situations and circumstances). The Preacher/Teacher [Solomon?] of Ecclesiastes tried.

(7:10 a.m.)

Mm, yes. Thank You Father for these writings. Thank You for the opportunity and privilege to read and learn more.

I confess to You most Holy God, the more I read the harder I search for understanding. There’s a deep sense of frustration coupled with the absolute freedom I experience as I once again accept there are just certain things I will never understand “under the sun.”

Thank You Father for Your Word. Your Truth. Your plans. Your promises. The firm foundation that we only have in You.

(11:02 a.m.)

Yes Father. Our firm foundation IS only in You. I read Your Word. I trust It. Depend on It. And then get lost in wanting to figure out why things are the way they are. Thank You God that that is not my job.

Just for today, this moment, I can turn to You in trust. Believing You at Your Word. At the very same time confessing that my thoughts are all over the place.

This is where I ask You to take charge of them. Of me. I love You Father. I long to do and think and say and be all that You know is best for me. You are God. And I am Yours.

(12:31 p.m.)

Do all You must in, with, by, through and for me Blessed God. Corralling my thoughts. And reminding me of the power of Your spoken Word (Proverbs 18:20-21)!

Oh yes most Blessed Father, do all You must for Your glory and the good of others. I love You. I need You. I want You. I choose You. Thank You. Amen.
