After a tumultuous day yesterday I'm incredibly happy today. It had the potential to irk my nervous system for a myriad of reasons (including being hit by a cop running a red light - we're fine. It was low impact but still) but I'm so thankful for the way it ended that everything that happened took a back burner.
I also normally check Bible Gateway each morning (which was actually the way I was inspired most mornings when I was writing Daily Devotions) and today's scripture was my sole reason for not acknowledging any negativity or drama today. Here's what it said:
2 Thessalonians 3
Those Who Are Lazy
1-3One more thing, friends: Pray for us. Pray that the Master's Word will simply take off and race through the country to a ground-swell of response, just as it did among you. And pray that we'll be rescued from these scoundrels who are trying to do us in. I'm finding that not all "believers" are believers. But the Master never lets us down. He'll stick by you and protect you from evil.As we do and say on Twitter when someone says something we like "THIS!" This word was really right on time. I'd love nothing more for everyone in this world to be saved and know the peace that God brings but I've learned through "Just Say NO" that I can't save everybody and I've stopped trying to.
I'd also like to take the time to thank my readers... all of you don't comment and most of you don't follow my blog but I read each email that comes to me and I thank you all for your encouragement. It's a blessing to touch so many lives.
G'Day!
