As I am aging so many old time sayings are coming to fruition ...Some not so wiseBiblical Understandings also are coming to the head of realization....In the midnight hour last night not feeling well, body feeling just like it could sleep for months on top of months .....my mind and heart united in Truth! And though it was a feeble praise it was a sincere thanksgiving for Truth. There are so many pieces of the puzzle in our lives .... and it is only God that knows how scattered the pieces are and how to bring them together and place every plan purposed in our lives. Feeling not so well one desires to withdraw from all activity. Some (including me at one time) becoming a bit angry b/c in the latter portion of our life normal activity seems to be more difficult ....children have grown up and moved on forgetting you ..(so it appears) ....the body has aged and cannot do what it once could do ....forgetting things though not an issue it does seem that forgetfulness is attached to maturity of the body and mind...all that we once knew and was fond of has changed ...death taking from us parents, sickness and disease claiming the mobility of many of our loved ones, maybe even ourselves....this is life on earth! Popular teachings wants to convince us we are above all this ....The only thing that is above all this is a Sovereign God! The scriptures the LORD gave me this morning as I was scooting not so fast in my kitchen Abby has needs regardless if I am sick or not ;) ....I thought of Job.....and he had stated Though he slay me I will trust him....and I thought slay ..LORD what is slay, what does it mean in Hebrew it means to kill or the primary idea is that of cutting ....do we not trust the LORD to circumcise our hearts ....The Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword piercing, dividing, discerning ....to the depths of our threefold being = soul, spirit, and joints and marrow....discerning our thoughts and intents of our heart. AND we must remember Jeremiah so clearly states that our heart is deceitful and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9) ...this heart needs to be slayed ...Job also stated a truth that is vital for us today ....I was at ease (how many of us are living an at ease lifestyle in Christ) ...would you call at ease a lukewarm state? ....I was at ease but he (THE LORD) hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by the neck (neck here means stubbornness or rebellion) and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. ...the last portion of this statement reveals the purpose of the being taken by the neck, shaken to pieces, the breaking asunder, FOR THE SETTING UP FOR HIS MARK ....that is a LOVE we understand not .....God loves us enough to take our world and break it asunder, shake it to pieces for His Mark ...what Mark ???? Phil 3:14 I press toward the MARK for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.. this word means the same in both scriptures ... Today in the midst of slaying the breaking asunder, taken by the neck and shaken to pieces, remember it is GOD LOVING us so that all that is unlike HIM can be broken away, shaken off, cut away .....for the making of the possible MARK ...He loves us that much! He wants us to be marked more than we want to be marked...scriptures states, God is love Everything about Him is LOVE, His very Nature is love, His disciplinary actions are LOVE .... So let us be as Job ....though HE slay us we will trust in Him
