I so often have been comforted by God and made aware of His great love for me and His people. As I talk to Him on a regular basis about very personal things, there are times that I forget just who He is!!! I think I can get too familiar.

From the journal . . . . September 2019

I had just listened to a preach by my son, Christopher.

Lord, he talked about the Hebrew word ‘LORD’.   Yaweh.  It is huge.  LORD God.  The absolute highest authority.  The praise is about You. You as God.  LORD.  He mentioned the usage of all capital letters for LORD in the Bible translations.  So I did a little research and saw that the Old Testament prophecies, that were quoted in the New Testament, were all in upper case letters, when referring to the LORD God.  God, how wonderfully funny that is to me!  When I started transcribing my journal entries to the computer, I distinguished Your words to me from my own words, by using upper case letters. Just like the Bible translators did.  I didn’t know!

And I Believe God Said:

Be assured. I am the Lord God.  You seem to forget that at times.  You know of My love for you but you aren’t always considering My sovereignty over everything.  I choose to give people the choice concerning worship.*   But know this my child: I can change My mind.  I can change the rules.  I can stop this world and make another.

Joshua 24:15

But My love is constant.  You can trust me.  Those who love Me are Mine.  They hear My voice .  They are safe. I am faithful. 

John 10:27-29

I have been faithful to your boy.  The ‘sacred’ was torn from his life and he survived. *

My son had gone through a painful and very unexpected divorce several years before this but God had brought him through it. He is always worthy of our trust and praise!
