Save

As we press-on, remember...we are not Alone. For, Almighty God gave us many Promises in His Word. One of those was(paraphrasing)...any temptation/burden that comes upon us, He would make a way for us to escape. Another one is; to give our burdens to Him, He would carry them. He also told us to be 'persuaded' that 'nothing' could separate us from His Love. He, of course, knew that we as pilgrims on our journey home, would experience many trials that would tempt us to lose faith and turn away. But 'through' the trials and hardships He tells us to turn our minds to Him, 'think' on Him. And He Promised that if we did, He would keep us in perfect peace, and this is the one of His many Promises that I am drawn to. Thus we pray...

O Give me…thoughts…of You those that speak of You and I Give me thoughts so peaceful that reach from earth to sky Do let Your rapturous words touch to heal me…deep inside Usher in those remembrances which keep me…by Your side Send calmness that entertain the contentment You provide That as we walk in Your Love darkest doubts…run and hide From no other…I’d ask this of only You, O God, bring a tide a fulfilled... heavenly promise perfect…thoughts…You and I Isaiah 26:3 copyright;jmsbell-7/27/19

I don't know if I've ever had a perfect thought JMS Bell. To tell you the truth, I don't know if I'd recognize one if I did. I imagine though, that along with perfect thoughts comes perfect peace. That would be really nice. I can say this, from much experience, that dark thoughts are a part of life for the born-again spirit-filled believer. It's where the spiritual wars are fought; in the mind and especially in the imagination.

For many years Michele and I stood in the gap for our children, spiritually, and many other kids who came through our home that we became surrogate parents to because their parents were alcoholics, drug users, and arrogant idiots. It almost defeated us. The drugs, chaos, stupidity, disrespect, arrogance, and awful influences hounded all of the kids for years. Thankfully, none of our children were destroyed. We praise God every day for that. They are all gainfully employed and have lives that require discipline and diligence. Our son Garrett (who resides in Tennessee) has a heart for Christ. Such a blessing. The other two will too. It's one of our fervent prayers. All the best. r
