Peace Returns

Isaiah 26:3 (King James Version)

3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

How true those words from Isaiah are. As I so transparently let you know yesterday, there was anything but peace in my heart. I was in turmoil. Everything seemed to be coming at me and I had nothing left to give. I recognized my condition. I was spiritually empty. I went to Women in the Word and was blessed. When I returned home, I got out my Bible, the hymn book and my Bible study book and had myself a time of worship and praise. Don't you wonder why we wait so long???? Those are some of my best times; worshiping, praying and singing His praises.

By mid afternoon, I literally felt myself coming back to peace. By then I had given up myself and allowed the Holy Spirit to take control once more. I slept well, from about eighty thirty to five this morning. A good night's rest. I feel tons better today, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you Lord.

A few weeks ago, Bill Mahler was on The View. I have to be in a brave mood to watch that show because the philosophy expressed is so lopsided. Anyway, I tuned in to hear Bill say that any body that says God exits or has a relationship with him is just using a figment of their imagination. I wondered what the response would be from the panel. I feel sorry for Elizabeth because it is always up to her to bring people back to truth. I don't know the name of the gal that responded but she is African American and must be a Christian. She looked at him and asked, "Have you ever asked God if He is truly there?" The audience clapped. She went on to say that her experience is that God is truly with her in spirit. He argued with her and disputed her claim but she held fast. I was so proud of her. I think the whole community of believers should pray for Bill Mahler. The man is so lost there is no doubt. Lord, remove the scales from his eyes because if you did, there would be no end to the message a redeemed Bill Mahler would bring.

Personal note to Barb in Phoenix...please send me the urls of the two other blogs you read. I may enjoy them as well. Thanks
