I Know

There are things that I know because of my experiences. I know that the sun will come up today and set later this evening. I know the difference between right and wrong. I know that there are good people and there are mean people. There are righteous people and there are evil people. The list of things that I know could be long because I’ve lived a relatively long time and experienced a lot of life. I’ve learned that relationships with people is part of what makes life so rich and full. I’ve also learned that relationships with people is what makes life hard and hurtful.

I’m still learning to lean upon the Lord in every situation.

I still believe that He is dependable and won’t ever let me down.

I was reading some of “David’s journal” (aka Psalms) this morning and I was reminded of what I know about the Lord. Check this out…

⁵ Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.
    You guard all that is mine.
⁶ The land you have given me is a pleasant land.
    What a wonderful inheritance!

⁷ I will bless the Lord who guides me;
    even at night my heart instructs me.
⁸ I know the Lord is always with me.
    I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. (Psalm 16”5-8 NLT)

It’s been a minute since I’ve blogged about my spiritual journey although I’m still on that journey. I am still spending time with Him in the Word, and it’s been very rich and rewarding. My journey in the Word is deeply personal and I’ve felt for whatever reason that I should pause from posting my ramblings and writings.

There are times I can learn a lot when I rest.

There are times I can learn a lot when I work.

There are times I can learn a lot when I pray.

I have recently experienced some soul wounds. These wounds come in many shapes and sizes. There have been some deaths and funerals that have shaken my soul. There have been relationships that have brought pain. There have been some good people experience the greatest losses. There have been multiple situations where there are no words. This morning I reminded that “the Lord is my cup of blessing”. I was reminded that “the Lord is always with me”.  I know this and I’ve known this for a long time. Sometimes the noise of life lived here on earth crowds out the eternal truth that I hold tightly too.

I know what I know and I’m leaning on Him for strength.

Pressing On!
