Thank you Yahweh for another day.
Yahweh, what do I do? I know she will be busy with school, but I am also busy with work. There haven’t been any posts, none of the work up in a month and that’s before school started. I spoke about it two days ago and nothing, but status has been posted. It (in my opinion) takes the same time. I’m a bit frustrated and I don’t know what to do. Yahweh, please show me what to do. I need your help.
Yahweh, you are the originator of crazy, unusual thoughts. And right now I don’t even know what to say. But you are amazing. You are wonderful. I may be helpless but you are powerful. So today I will praise you. Today I will glorify you. You are worthy.
Yahweh, I won’t say anything yet. I believe that this is your idea. But if not, please definitely correct me. The month of February. Let’s see how it goes.
Yahweh, are we partners? I rely so much on you for everything that at times I wonder if I just take and don’t give back. And (shameface), not all partnerships are fifty-fifty and you are God. You are the managing partner. Thank you for allowing me to partner with you. Yahweh, help my words to reflect you. I know that you aren’t trying to change my personality, but that all I do will reflect you.
1 Corinthians 13:1-7 –
I may speak in the languages of humans and of angels. But if I don’t have love, I am a loud gong or a clashing cymbal. 2 I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don’t have love, I am nothing. 3 I may even give away all that I have and give up my body to be burned.[a] But if I don’t have love, none of these things will help me.
4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn’t jealous. It doesn’t sing its own praises. It isn’t arrogant. 5 It isn’t rude. It doesn’t think about itself. It isn’t irritable. It doesn’t keep track of wrongs. 6 It isn’t happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. 7 Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.
(but if I don’t have love, I am nothing)
Why? Because God IS love. And we are nothing without him.
Sigh. Yesterday keeps replaying in my head. He said that it’s a tree that we can’t cut. But when it was pointed out that’s not the case, he tried to brush it off. We should not be wrong and strong. And it still disturbs me that in all this, they did not call us. It’s sad. So often we attack with a sledgehammer when we should approach with a feather. Extreme. But the text that says,
Proverbs 15:1 – A gentle answer turns away rage, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
–
Proverbs 15:4 – A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue breaks the spirit.
–
Proverbs 15:18 – A hothead stirs up a fight, but one who holds his temper calms disputes.
Yahweh, help us to follow your direction. Help us work in your will. To know when to fight and when to stand still. To know when to speak up and when to be quiet. And when speaking to speak words that are true, loving and that will turn away anger. Thank you for your Spirit. Let it flow.
Yahweh, everyday I see that your words are true. Without love, everything goes to tell. Protect us Yahweh in this storm and may our words be yours. Our thoughts be unto you. Help us to calm a situation and not stir up strife. Holy Spirit come and fill this place. Fill my mind, my heart and soul. Overflow so that you are seen. Thank you for your grace. Your protection. Your love. Your amazing love. I love you.
Proverbs 13:12 – Delayed hope makes one sick at heart, but a fulfilled longing is a tree of life.
Tree of Life
