Amen!
And what a gift from my mother (and father)!
And what a schlub Ive been.. meandering here and there.. rising up in pride .. and throwing tantrums in angry defiance.. and finally.. fallen, humbled, broken... welcomed Home again...
What a merciful God we serve..
Pax et Bonum
Yup!!...it’s the flesh...pride rises up in all of us, but as you say...we do serve a merciful God..who never leaves us, when we go off track...he just let’s us get on with it.....
He taught me, I can do Nothing in my own strength and still I try at times...it’s this darn flesh..I hate it...Praise God that we are being made into Jesus image.by the Holy Spirit Power.
I’ve just come out of the wilderness...I never want to be there again....God is in control ,not me and neither do I ever want to be.....such a learning, that can only be taught to us, by the Holy Spirit.....PraiseGod.
On saying that, I learnt so much from God, when I was in the wilderness.
What are the blessings of wilderness?
In the wilderness God gave His people opportunities to trust Him, to walk in faith, to remember His goodness, to develop thankful hearts, and to become people of worship
