Trust Tally
October 29, 2017
See, the Lord your God has given you the land. . . . Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Deuteronomy 1:21
Before my husband and I surrendered our lives to Christ, we seriously considered divorce. But after committing to love and obey God, we recommitted to each other. We sought wise counsel and invited the Holy Spirit to transform us individually and as a couple. Our heavenly Father continues to help us develop healthy communication skills. Hes teaching us how to love and trust Himand one anotherno matter what happens.
Yet, even as we head toward celebrating our twenty-fifth anniversary, I occasionally forget everything God has done in and through our trials. Sometimes, I struggle with a deep-seated fear of the unknownexperiencing unnecessary anxiety instead of relying on Gods track record.
In Deuteronomy 1, Moses affirmed the Lords reliability. He encouraged the Israelites to move forward in faith so they could enjoy their inheritance (v. 21). But Gods people demanded details about what theyd be up against and what theyd receive before committing to trust Him with their future (vv. 2233).
Followers of Christ are not immune to succumbing to fear or anxiety. Worrying about what difficulties we may or may not encounter can keep us from depending on faith, and may even damage our relationships with God and others. But the Holy Spirit can help us create a trust tally of the Lords past faithfulness. He can empower us with courageous confidence in Gods trustworthiness yesterday, today, and forever.
Lord, thank You for affirming that we dont need to know everything that lies ahead when we know You. We know You never change.
Gods past faithfulness proves His everlasting dependability.

I LOVED Peter Sellers.
Just this very night, my sister and I watched the original “Manchurian Candidate”, and there was a scene that reminded me of Inspector Clouseau and Cato! LOL!

My Dad loved Peter Sellars.
And since he used to repair and edit training films for the SAC, he LOVED Dr. Strangelove.
I remember watching it with hi9m on an old B&W TV. As soon as it was available on VHS, he bought it and watched it again and again.

Unraveling the Mysteries
October 30, 2017
I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path.
Psalm 119:104
I have always enjoyed the wit and insight of Peanuts creator, Charles Schulz. One of my favorite cartoons drawn by him appeared in a book about young people in the church. It shows a young man holding a Bible as he tells a friend on the phone, I think Ive made one of the first steps toward unraveling the mysteries of the Old Testament . . . Im starting to read it! (Teen-Ager Is Not a Disease).
Psalm 119 overflows with the writers hunger to understand and experience the power of Gods Word each day. Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long (v. 97). This eager pursuit leads to growing wisdom, understanding, and obedience to the Lord (vv. 98100).
The Bible doesnt contain a magic formula for unraveling the mysteries in its pages. The process is more than mental and requires a response to what we read. While some passages may remain puzzling to us, we can embrace those truths we clearly understand, and say to the Lord, How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path (vv. 103104).
A wonderful journey of discovery awaits us in Gods Word.
Lord, thank You for the Bible, which gives us wisdom and understanding to follow Your pathway of life today.
A commitment to read and follow Gods Word begins a daily journey of discovering His love and power.
Psalm 119 is well known as the longest chapter in the Bible. It is an acrostic psalm where each section begins with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This psalm praises the goodness and value of Gods law. The law is a reflection of Gods character; as we look at the law, we learn about Him.
As you spend time studying Gods Word this week, reflect on what you learn about the character of God.
