Dust In The Wind! 2/7/16
James 4:14 (KJV)
14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Oh, ho, ho
Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind
ALL WE ARE IS DUST IN THE WIND!
Being awake most of the night, this song and this phrase played endlessly in my mind's heart:
"ALL WE ARE IS DUST IN THE WIND!"
The words of Mama came to mind also:
"
THE BEST LAID PLANS OF MICE AND MEN OFTEN GO ASTRAY!"
Too often, WE "think" WE know what WE are doing and WE "think" WE know where WE are heading, BUT.................
Proverbs 16:9 (KJV)
9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
The TRUTH is this:
Psalm 37:23 (KJV)
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
The Word "ORDERED" is derived from the same original Hebrew Word the Psalmist David wrote and was translated from the Word "ORDAINED"
Psalm 8:3 (KJV)
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
Just as our Righteous Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, set the path of all the stars in the sky AND our sun and moon, so God hath "ORDERED/ORDAINED" WE, his creation's path also!!!
"
GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS ABOUT!"
TODAY, perhaps you sit there, wondering what the tag number of that freight train that just ran over you was????
Perhaps YOU are wondering today, "Where is God-and WHY!!??"
As I lay wide awake last night, I repeated to myself, over and over:
"
I REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM!"
I PRAY you TODAY also "REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM!"
Take courage and comfort from the words of this poem and ALWAYS remember:
"
GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS ABOUT!"
When God wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man, and skill a man,
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world might be amazed,
Watch His methods; watch His ways.
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him
And with mighty blows converts him
Into trial shapes of clay
That only God understands,
While his tortured heart is crying,
And he lifts beseeching hands!
How He bends but never breaks
When his good He undertakes.
How He uses whom He chooses,
And with every purpose fuses him;
By every act induces him
To try His splendor out-
God knows what He's about!
GOD BLESS YOU!
