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!"

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.

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.

Look forward to that day and do not turn around to look at your past. Remember Lot's wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lovinghim4ever Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 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).

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