“Some thoughts”

‘There’s so much in the news about so many things these days that it is easy to get distracted from our primary focus on Him, on desiring His Presence, and all that we need of Him. One of the big distractions today is the Health Care Bill. How easy for us Seniors to get disturbed about “what” and “if”, etc. And yet, within me is a deeper concern? Will I know how to lean on Jesus? Do I know today how to lean on Jesus and draw from His life when I face medical challenges?

‘If I don’t today, what makes me think I will when health care is denied?

‘And I belief the question is “when” not “if” and have sensed for years that as a nation/world we will be coming to the place the scriptures speak of where none of the basics of “survival” will be available without our “ID.” How soon and how are still to be uncovered.

‘... we are already past the day of “fighting”, that it is almost past the “day of preparation.” Am I ready? I don’t know?

...

‘Are my times in the Lord’s hands? Are my times appointed and determined by Him or by the medical profession? Does the Lord know what is happening in the medical field and has he determined my days accordingly before the foundation of the world or will I give the determination of my life into the hands of the local medical team?

‘It seems to me as we move into a day when “man” is seeking to take control over a governmental system and economy that is out of control that we will find that we will have increasing opportunities to put our trust and faith in the Lord Jesus and the reality that HE IS IN CONTROL, that times and seasons are in His hand, that my days are appointed by Him.

...

‘The scriptures tell us HE came to set us free....to save our souls...to empower us from the inside out to have love, joy, peace, patience, longsuffering, gentleness, etc. When we don’t have internal control we will have external control. One of my mentors continually talks about homoestatis....and put in other tems, the pressure on the inside must equal the pressure on the outside or some adaptation must be made for the organism to survive.

...

‘So we see in our society today as is prophesied throughout the scriptures. Personally I think it is a great diversion to focus on what and if as related to the new health care actions that will be taken by Congress. It is wasted time that will take away from the time we could be spending learning how to walk in the provision of God, of equipping others to walk in the provision of God, and sharing the “good news” of the Kingdom of God which may be the only “good news” we are going to hear today or tomorrow as relates to what is happening in our global society.’
