I realize I'm often afraid to trust. My faith wavers so often. Noah didn't experience life after the flood as we have. He just did as God told him. We've have experienced the calm after the storm unlike Noah. He hadn't even seen rain yet! That's real faith...
In times of darkness my faith is shaken. Even though my mind knows His promise is everlasting and ever present. It's the darkness that hinders my view. I am reminded of a wise friend who once told me that darkness is only absence of light.
So what is it I can choose to do when I find myself in darkness? Move closer to the light!
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, " I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
(John 8:12)
Hmm so I need to follow, When I find darkness creeping into my life is it because something has distracted me while I was supposed to be following? The light hasn't vanished even if I have distanced myself from it.
It's true sometimes my faith wavers. At times I loose sight of the straight and narrow path I am to follow. I place distance between the Light of Christ and myself. Thankfully He is faithful. His promises are for keeps! They are everlasting and He cannot fail! He initiates the covenant, He seals the deal! As I study covenants my mind is blown away! I can't comprehend it. First a rainbow and next circumcision. I'm still asking Him to show me, to teach me. But it's not only my mind that needs to be transformed, more importantly it's my heart that He wants! I'm not there yet but He's began a good work in me and He is able to bring it to completion.
Father continue to teach us how to love...
you with all of our heart soul and might. Amen
Hear O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
Deu 6:4-5
And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.'
"This is the great and foremost commandment.
"The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'
Matt 22:37-39
(this rainbow is a complete circle)
Once again ECF I remind you an me to SHAMA!

Isaiah 50:10 "Who is among you that fears the LORD, That obeys the voice of His servant, That walks in DARKNESS and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God."
He is our light, and our salvation. He is our place of refuge. (Ps 27) And dark is light to Him!
Psalm 139:11-12 If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night," Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You.
AAAAMEN! (As we just learned, that means: Tru Dat!)
