Honest. At the mad, raged. At the eager, bummed.
I wanted to write about the strikes in Puerto Rico –at this point, they have already ended in peace, praise be to God. When I also heard about the sudden movement to another forum, from the one in which I’ve been with such blessings of people, to another one from scratch…? What is going on in here?
Maybe scheduled maintenance failed. I don’t know much, only God and the people that deal with these forums know what really happened. Just noting that the data has been wiped out to this very point upsets me. All that I have written, ALL… has been erased, forever spread to the cyberspace. At least, I salvaged some part of my works, as I took a week or so and copied the posts into Blogger. It is in fact, sad, that most of my recent work got lost… I estimate a 7 or 8 percent.
In the midst of the turmoil that comes in change, I also know this by experience. (We shouldn’t, however, value experience more than Scripture on its own.) You have known –which, by the grace of God- my journey into moving 1500 miles near to America. In just a month, God’s Almighty hand has moved in our favor, I say this by faith. However, there are many things to clear up, and moving is one of them.
I still find succor in this verse:
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." (Psalm 46:10, NIV)
I do, in fact, remember using this on a post in summer (shhh!), but I find a new light on it. Though most refer it as the quiet on my own hearts, I have read (on the frame on my uncle’s Quest NIV Bible) that it can also refer to the “cessation of armed conflict” or so quoted. It is also of such respite to see that we…
Uh… lost my analogical track.
Well, we are in fact warriors in this world. God, our King, our Adonai, our Lord, has become so gracious to fight our battles, to shield our souls, and to battle the good battle of faith. Not for the Commonwealth, the USA, Puerto Rico, or anything, but for the Kingdom of God.
