World Without End

The confidence we can have in our God, if we but only place our trust in Him.

Life has a way of repeating itself, and I have been down this road before.... to my shame, I have traveled it again... the Road of Fear. "Change" has a way of looming up in front of you, casting a big scary shadow over the foot path. How I tremble at that shadow. How I should not tremble, I have no cause to fear. To night, I was gently reminded to trust.

Isa 45:17-19
...ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens;
God himself that formed the earth and made it;
he hath established it,

he created it not in vain,
he formed it to be inhabited:
I am the LORD; and there is none else.

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth:
I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain:
I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

Nothing the Lord does is in vain, everything is with purpose. When He establishes, it is forever.
Ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded -- World with out end.

Early Morning

So often I am stuck by the realization that being comfortable causes me to forget.

I am not speaking of carelessness, losing keys or such, but of the tendency to forget how God has lead me.

Like God's people in the Bible, I need the constant reminder...

"Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently,

lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen,

and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life:

but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;"

Deuteronomy 4:9
