The Doxology | Anthem Lights ft. Selah
“’For the land will be abandoned
by them, and will make up for its sabbaths while it is made desolate without
them. They, meanwhile, will be making
amends for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and their soul
abhorred My statutes.
“’Yet in spite of this, when they
are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them nor will I so abhor
them as to destroy [consume] them, breaking My covenant
with them; for I am the Lord their God.
“’But I will remember for them the
covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the
sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the Lord.’” Leviticus
26:43-45
God often uses
punishment to awaken us when we stray from His path, like a good father. A sad commentary on human nature (so clearly and
often illustrated in God’s Word) is that in prosperity we tend to forget God
from whom all blessings flow.
God then may
correct our path with personal -- and eventually effective -- punishment and
disappointment to reach our hearts. This
remind us that He knows best and we must trust Him. The wise child of God chooses to stay close
to Him in the first place and rejoice in His provision without having to wander
often in the weeds of God’s discipline.
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS

Update - Robin age 52, recently
diagnosed with breast cancer in her lymph nodes had a lumpectomy last Wednesday. Surgeon took 16 lymph nodes. Only two were
positive (he said three or less is good news). He got all the cancer. Now it’s up to other doctor
to decide treatment. Not out of woods
yet but at least it's not spread a bunch which doctors said was very good news.
Please keep praying for her and her family during this long process.
