a touch of conviction...

i might...just maybe...have been a little negative in the posts below. and i am feeling a little bit of conviction now that i have went back and read it. you know what excuses are like, but anyway...here are mine: i am tired of hearing all the talk and no answers for current political and economic situations, i was tired last night and i was watching the debate...JUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS! (nuff said bout that), i do get a little tired of the wacko christians who come out in uncertain time and try to scare the hell out of people. it is such a pathetic ploy...and it is not sustainable. what happens when the economy turns around and the world doesnt end? party-on i guess...that is another rant and i can feel my blood pressure rising...lol

so, conviction. it is a good thing, it is a frustrating thing, it is almost like a nagging in your soul...the one that you hate to admit to that you were wrong...but you were...so you have to. so, i admit i could have been a little negative and i'm sorry.

but now! i read psalm 24:1-2 today. that made me feel a little better about everything going on.

The Earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;

for He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

i find so much comfort in that. EVERYTHING! that would be money, stock markets, republicans, democrats, oil, gas, people, houses, cars, ...you get the point! He founded it....He founded it....that settles my soul a little, no... A LOT! I think this verse has been used in my life to almost be a justification for things i wanted to do. today i view it as justification for the Lord to do whatever He wants to. it is His and He is in control, there are no surprises coming for Him.
this was good for me, dont know where you are....but hope this helps!

A couple of passages that I have been trying to dwell on lately - Psalm 121, one of my all time favorites, and Lamentations 3:21-24. It is so hard not to be concerned for the future - or the now for that matter. But - what an opportunity for us as Christians to really walk out what we say. And that is all I got this a.m.
