God Fights Against Us
LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ:
Joel 2:12-17Who knows if He will turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him? Joel 2:14 In Joels book of prophecy, God declared: I am in the midst of Israel . . . . My people shall never be put to shame (2:27). But earlier in the chapter God promised to fight against His people. A plague of locusts would descend like a ravenous army on the nation (vv.2-11).
Its hard to fathom that the Lord would fight against His chosen people. But Israel had given their affections to other gods.
In fact, God had fought against them before. Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for calamity (Judges 2:15).
I have learned that if my own heart wanders away from God, I can count on Him to fight to bring me back. If I become proud and self-assured, if reading Gods Word and spending time in prayer seem like a waste of time, God will step in and deal with me.
God will fight against us for our good. He permits us to experience defeat so that we will listen to Him when He says, Rend your heart, and not your garments; return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness (Joel 2:13).
Dont wait for God to fight against you before you seek His face. Return to Him today. Albert Lee
Because our Fathers heart is grieved
Each time we go astray,
He lifts His chastening hand in love
To help us find His way. D. De Haan

Late morning greetings to the Finest. Little hands have been browsing Disney.com all morning and now it's my turn at the keyboard.
Thanks again Billie for putting this all together.
Mentioned above was The Dunes. Miles and miles of sand dunes along the Central Oregon coast.

Sorry, I am just now getting here. But better late than never, right?
It's nice that you got to meet up with Tonk, Dave. If we ever get over to the Oregon coast, we will be sure to arrange a get together with him too. All of our trips through Oregon have been straight up I-5. Have never been to the east or west of it.
Thanks for sharing your vacation with all of us. You and Lin made lots of happy memories, visiting family and friends and seeing new places. That's the best part about vacations, I think. :-)
