Whit!!! 3/15/23
MISS ME???? I have been sick!
Sick with a 6 lb.7 oz. KIDNEY STONE measuring 42 inches that I gave “birth” to last Thursday!!!
It is an often true story that God remains SILENT during our tests!!!
James 1:2-4 (KJV)
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
While withering away under the “pregnancy” of said kidney stone I was forced to make an appointment with my wonderful Urologist Before I was scheduled to see him I gave a natural birth to said KIDNEY STONE.
But still the after effects of same lingered and my mind doubted-WHERE R U GOD????
God OFTEN speaks to you and me through His Word-THE HOLY BIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God HAD spoken to me in these past two weeks-
Philippians 4:6 (KJV)
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Now before you read this Scripture and rush through my sermon let's break the above Scripture down a wee bit..
CAREFUL-from <G3308> (merimna); to be anxious about :- (be, have) care (-ful), take thought.
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
In simpler words-DON'T WORRY-BE HAPPY!!!
DON'T worry about tomorrow OR the what-if's!!
Jesus said it best-
Matthew 6:34 (KJV)
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
TAKE THEREFORE NO/ZERO/NADA/NONE THOUGHT FOR TOMORROW!!!!!!!
What part of His plain spoken Words do WE fail to grasp??????????????????
Beloved, TOMORROW is NEVER guaranteed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONLY God knows and God deems TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly, as many of you know, there is a WHOLE LOT of information on the WWW!!!!
Our natural/carnal mind is wired to seek the worst!!!! As I have stated MANY times:
MINOR SURGERY IS WHEN OTHERS ARE ENCOUNTERING....
MAJOR SURGERY IS WHEN IS HAPPENS TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMEN AND AMEN!!!!????
PLEASE-May WE allow God to drive our bus, and leave the outcome/destination in His mare than capable Hands??????
Now here is the best past of this message!!
As I lay in bed the night before my doctor appointment, I berated God for His seemingly silence through my pain and agony these past few weeks-Have YOU ever fussed at God?????
Quietly, God whispered in my very soul-in the DARKNESS of my trial:
Deuteronomy 33:25 (KJV)
25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
“AS THY DAYS, SO SHALL THY STRENGTH BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Let me repeat His Words:
“AS THY DAYS, SO SHALL THY STRENGTH BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
In short, brethren-
GOD DOES NOT/WILL NOT GIVE US STRENGTH and/or ANSWERS for tomorrow's trials.
God WILL and DOES show up WHEN we need Him-NOT before!!
Philippians 4:6 (KJV)
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Now before you read this Scripture and rush through my sermon let's break the above Scripture down a wee bit..
CAREFUL-from <G3308> (merimna); to be anxious about :- (be, have) care (-ful), take thought.
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
In simpler words-DON'T WORRY-BE HAPPY!!!
In conclusion let us examine one more Word:
NOTHING-including the irregular feminine medemia, may-dem-ee'-ah, and the neuter meden, may-den'; from <G3361> (me) and <G1520> (heis); not even one (man, woman, thing) :- any (man, thing), no (man), none, not (at all, any man, a whit), nothing, + without delay.
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
NOTHING includes EVERYTHING-”NOT EVEN ONE (MAN, WOMAN, THING)
NOT A WHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
GOD WILL AND DOES NOT GIVE ANY OF US STRENGTH/ANSWERS FOR TOMORROW!!!
Today, whatever you are facing TOMORROW God is already there!!
I LOVE YOU!!
