I know exactally what you mean!

I think I told you once - I have a pottery pig - about a foot tall, that stands on a stand, with a clown hat on, and between his front 'hands' is a wire, with balls (making it look like he is juggling).......

And, he has a sign around his neck that reads..."Not my pigs - Not my farm."

When my grandaughters are screaming and screeching on the phone, while I am trying to talk to my daughter - I touch that pig - and I don't say a word to her about the nuclear bomb that sounds like it is detonating in the background.

And I hang up, with "QUIET" going on, here, and know I didn't interfere in her life.

(But, boy would I like to!) LOL!

Nighty - night.

Are We There Yet?
March 9, 2011

If there is any such thing as a universal question, it may be this: Are we there yet? Generations of children have asked it. They have then grown into adults who have to answer the same question when their children ask.

Whenever I read the books of Moses, I wonder how many times he heard that question from the Israelites. Before rescuing them from slavery and leading them out of Egypt, Moses told them that the Lord would lead them to “a land flowing with milk and honey” (Ex. 3:8). He did, but first they spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness. This was no ordinary wandering, however. They were not lost; they were wandering for a purpose. After 400 years of slavery, the children of Israel needed to have their hearts, souls, and minds reoriented toward God. This was accomplished in the wilderness (Deut. 8:2,15-18), but not before an entire generation died because of their disobedience (Num. 32:13).

In life, it sometimes seems as if we are wandering in circles. We feel lost. We want to ask God, “Are we there yet? How much longer?” At such times, it helps to remember that the journey, not just the destination, is important to God. He uses it to humble us, test us, and show us what is in our hearts.

All God’s testings have a purpose—
Someday you will see the light;
All He asks is that you trust Him,
Walk by faith and not by sight. —Zoller

It’s the journey, not just the destination, that’s important.

Read: Deuteronomy 8

The Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart. —Deuteronomy 8:2

Bible in a year:
Deuteronomy 8-10; Mark 11:19-33

Beautiful devotion today. Thank you, Major. I look forward to the Daily Bread each day.

When we read

Romans 8:27-33 (New King James Version)
“27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

God’s Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.”

Let us rest in our hearts in the peace of God

“28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

We are blessed to be a blessing.(to others)
