God's got it!

A few nuggets to enjoy, though without the gristly, grossness of chicken nuggets. These are nice nuggets. More like gold nuggets (weren't they a breakfast cereal?), full of richness and encouragement. When you have God as the focus, everything else just fits. It's true. There are things bugging me but they're not at the foreground of my mind. In spite of them, I was walking through the meadows yesterday and could not stop smiling. I tried really hard, but I couldn't. "My flesh and my heart may fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:26 "The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." Deuteronomy 31:8 "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:8-9 Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord we will wait upon the Lord we will wait upon the Lord Our God, You reign forever Our hope, our Strong Deliverer You are the everlasting God The everlasting God You do not faint You won't grow weary You're the defender of the weak You comfort those in need You lift us up on wings like eagles Chris Tomlin, Everlasting God. "A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her." (unknown author) This is my favorite quote of the moment, ever since Lauren put it on her blog. I cannot cease striving for this. That my life would be so permeated by God and His effects that anyone should see Him and not me, and come to know Him better when getting to know me. A long way to go yet, but God's got it. He's there working every day. Yay! :o)
