Bah.
"But stay here" Luke 24:49 NLT
I could just end my post here. His Word is sufficient.
But I won't. Cause I like to talk. Or write rather (in this case). It is therapeutic for me.
Bah. That's sorta what my heart has been feeling lately (lately being a very loosely used term). Like - haven't we done enough of this already - can't we move on and past this? Whatever it is - this - I am done with it. Bah.
But. Here I am. Bah. (Not baa. But bah... just to clarify.)
I have gotten past the miserable begging of God to let me know when this (yes, that same this I just mentioned) will end, cause I don't think I can handle knowing. And I suppose that I just don't want to know. I suppose that eternity mindset has at least sunk in as far as my miserable-ness in this (still that same this) is concerned.
Bah.
My Bible study lesson today was titled "Settling Down". My first reaction was to whine, "Do I really need this rubbed into my face, Lord? Bah."
"Have you ever felt unsettled? Can you remember a time when you longed for a place to belong and grow a few roots?" page 107 of Beth Moore's David Seeking a Heart Like His
Are you for real? Yes, I did vent. On the paper. In my head. In my heart. In my prayers. I ROYAL-ly vented.
Following my vent (and I had to write in the side bar cause I ran out of room in the space that was provided) were these words:
"Whatever the reason, you just may feel unsettled." JUST and MAY.
Bah. Oh, how I wish, or rather BEG (on a daily recurring basis) that I wasn't un-settled.
And then Beth continues in the study:
"In what ways could Psalm 119:19, 54 be an encouragement to you whenever you feel unsettled?"
Psalm 119:19 NIV "I am a stranger on earth; do not hide Your commands from me."
Psalm 119:54 NIV "Your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge."
or in The Message: "These words hold me up in bad times; yes, your promises rejuvenate me."
I love how God's Word doesn't crumble and change to my weaknesses. I basically received a big "Put on you big girl panties, Sara." from my Big Daddy. Don't ya think?
"But stay here" Luke 24:49 NLT
Okay, Lord. Not that I have any choice... but here I am. So (for a little while at least) I set my bah aside. What are those promises? What are those decrees? What are those words?
Psalm 145:13 NIV "Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is trustworthy in all He promises and faithful in all He does."
No bah there. More like ah. Ah, Lord. Yes, You are faithful. Even here in my bah. Even when You say stay. You are eternal. You are trustworthy. Even while I wait. You are trustworthy. You are faithful.
My comfort is in His Word. Ah.
