While shopping with the kids, an overzealous shop owner moved her arms wildly in the air to drive home a point. This caused my heart to skip a few beats, hurt as if a knife was scrapping inside it , and I slowly shuffled out of the store. Coming back home I received a concerned email note from a friend whom I've never met in person expressing concern for my health. =)
All this reminded me of how very fragile this shell in which I'm now living has become. But I have no fear of my future, I know where I will go when I can finally throw off this bag of bones like an old robe. In a wonderful, exciting, anticipatory look into my future I can not wait for the sweet day to come when I can go home!!!! =)
The Psalms
46
God Is Our Refuge and Strength
To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Al'amoth.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear,
though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.
Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God,
the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her;
she shall not be moved:
God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:
he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;
he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;
he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.
I'm not meaning to sound depressing at all, I just had this very peaceful revelation about my troubles here on earth and my awesome, glorious, and never ending future. I wanted to share it with my friends. This world is NOT my home, I'm just passing through. =)
