Disillusioned?

[OneLight]

Every day, as I see the sin in the world, it sickens my heart. Not toward God, but at sin. There is nothing that we can do but remain in His will through these times. He is coming soon! I so look forward to the day when Christ says "It is done!"

Ugh, I hate the world more and more as time goes on...

Col 3 (NASB)

1 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.

3 For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Anyone else feeling disillusioned at the moment?

Can't trust the media

Can't trust the ways of the world

Can't trust feelings

Can't trust the flesh

Can't trust science

Can't trust my mother

Can't trust television (and really want to throw a brick through mine)

All I know that is trustworthy anymore is the bible.

1Cr 13:13 (NKJV)

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these [is] love.

Andy, what you are experiencing should not end up being disillusioned, but a heart felt gratefulness. From my perspective and from where I have come, you are describing the Lord putting you in a position that you must trust "only Him". Not any of those things you mention here, and for that matter, not even yourself....... only Him.

Speaking strictly for myself, life got a lot better when I crossed that bridge. Occasionally I drift back and look for something to trust and I get let down every time. Don't be discouraged or disillusioned, I really believe it is meant that way for a purpose.

Well... I live in a world where everything is marred and tainted. It would be easier to be unaffected by it if all perversions were obvious and exaggerated, but it is the slight perversions, the half truths, the minor adjustments to truth that are really bugging me at the moment. Nothing is pure. It makes me unsettled. I wonder how much half truths I have swallowed just because I didn't see them for what they were, lies.

Only He can answer that question, and He will when you are before Him. Look forward to that day and do not turn around to look at your past. Remember Lot's wife!

Andy,

I do understand where you are coming from,

and I am praying for the both of us.

I do trust that "all things work together for good to them

that love God, to them who are the called according

to HIS purpose" (Romans 8:28).

Amen to that, ~andy~!

Dude, you just ain't whistlin' Dixie there. Ever since I lost my job, that's been the way I've been feeling--and for some reason some of those thoughts turned to YHWH too. But now I think I know better. I remember all the times He's provided for me, and that He still IS providing for me, even when I don't see it.

I think I'm living the poem "Footsteps" right about now.

I'm glad to see you're holding tight to your faith, anitarose. God will provide for those who believe.
