Last night I was listening to my bible app on my iphone. I'm so sick and tired of hearing how the Kings did what was evil in your eyes. And I'm so humbled by the countless times that you forgave them....and have forgiven me. I cried reflecting back on my past.
Something in me "got it" when you repeatedly told them not to worship other gods. They knew you as you parted the Red Sea and delivered them from the stronghold of the Egyptians and they "still" turned away from you. They saw your Mighty and Powerful hand at work from the mountain top to the building of the tabernacle....the Jordan River to the promised land....they knew You.
In my past life as a muslim, I did not know your GREAT sacrifice for me, for my children, for my family...
As I cried and reflected on the reasons why you favor me....your face appeared in the night sky.....so amazing and so right in my face. Yes, we had a face to face encounter. I pulled over at 260 and St. Andrews and stared into your face. It was not the first time and I know My Lord that it will not be the last time.
Prayers: Marty is scheduled for surgery today and we know that you hold your beloved daughter in the palm of your hands. Romans 8:28, Hebrews 12:2, Jeremiah 29:11-14, Psalm 23, and on and on...
Eternally yours
