So many things happened lately... natural disasters like hurricane Ike. Man-made disasters like train wreck and financial wreck on Wall Street. Personal disasters such as forgot to renew our car's registration and end up getting fined by DMV, issues going on at work that seem to pile up to no end... and also had a fight with wife, which hasn't happened for a while... all because of that stupid 'same song'!
But thank God His grace is sufficient that we can get thru it all. Pastor Jim's sermon also stressed how God sees us not was who we were... or perhaps even who we are today..., but God can see who are we going to be in the future! Are we going to get bogged down by our past? Are we going to let our present get us down? Or on the flip side... if we had a wonderful past... if our current situation is just fine and dandy... are we going to allow that get into our heads and think we're the king of the world?
May God help us all regardless of our current or past circumstances... to be able to overcome whatever obastacles so that we can experience a future God intended for us to have and not miss out! Judas missed out because he allowed his depression get in the way. Surely Jesus would've forgiven Judas just as he did for Peter if he didn't impulsively kill himself. Solomon also missed out when he allowed his own glory to blind him to no longer be able to see God's glory...
Anyway, all those things aside, I really need to learn to not be a lout in various social situations. Oh Lord, can you help me on that?
Oh, and thank You Lord for allowing us to have a wonderful prime rib and lobster dinner last nite! But may we grow now only 'physically', but also spiritually as well! ;)
