Today has been one of those mellow, introspective days...but a good one! Actually it's been a day when I've sensed the Spirit of God at work in deep-seated ways.
In the aftermath of my "Honest and Transparent" post from last night, I've received many touching and encouraging responses. Thank you to everyone who took time to write! Many have walked the same road! Has God been faithful in every case? Without a doubt!
Matthew (9) and I spent some time together this afternoon. He hasn't been feeling well the last few days and wasn't able to go with Carol and Nathan (8) to a birthday party. We had a wonderful "quiet time" visiting some childhood haunts of mine. We both loved it!
Everyone just went out to pick up some last-minute items for Victoria's trip to camp tomorrow. She is our 13-year-old granddaughter who lives with us. She's an incredible kid...or teen now, I guess.
Being alone for a few minutes I sat down at my beloved piano and played some of my favorite hymns and choruses. Then I played a number of songs that I've composed over the years just to keep them "fresh" in my mind.
As I played one of them I thought I'd share it with you in case you wondered if my confidence has been shattered or my faith displaced. Don't worry, I'm alright! I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God!
These simple lyrics are taken from two of my favorite scripture portions, Philippians 1:6 and 1 Thessalonians 5:24.
CONFIDENT/FAITHFUL
"Being confident of this one thing...
He who began a work in you
Surely will perform it
'Til the day of Jesus Christ.
For faithful is He that called you
Who also will do it;
Being confident of this one thing...
He who began a work in you
Surely will perform it
'Til the day of Jesus Christ."
So, I'm confident and God is faithful! Hallelujah, what a Savior!
