God's Time!
Let me just say… I have been having a bit of a rough spell of late. I won’t go into details because they don’t matter. I really let it get to me yesterday morning and I broke down to my daughter. Yea, I even cried. (Something I try VERY hard not to do). I ended with, If only I could understand why things have to be this way. I did nothing wrong yet, I stand accused. ( I have been praying to understand this daily for some time now.)
We went to the post office yesterday in Norman to drop off a package. The car in front of us had a customized tag. It said… ** PSALM37** I could not think of which one that was so I pull up the bible app on my phone and Jen read it to me. (Yea left my glasses at home again).
God is good all the time!! What I love about HIM most is HIS sense of humor in how HE delivers HIS messages sometimes. Come on… a car license tag!!! I love it!!!
(NO… I am NOT going to tell you what Psalm 37 says but I will give you a link at the bottom of the blog!!) The link is the message version. You can change it to which ever one you prefer.

David's instructions on how we should handle our envy
of the wicked man's prosperity in Psalm 37:
Do good, trust God, and do not worry! If we patiently continue doing the things that God has commanded us to do—focusing on our own character, rather than complaining about another's—the scales of justice will come into their proper balance in God's time. (See that is the HARD part God's time!! We want it NOW!)
Sounds so simple doesn't it? Yet, when we have been unjustly attacked, it becomes so hard to do what is right. We want to shout to the world that we have been wronged and that they person that wronged us is gloating about it. They have damaged our character and we want to strike back in so many ways. We want to scream about all the wrongs this person has done to so many. The lies that have been told and the scamming that have been done.
So instead of striking back, I will pray for this person. Pray their heart can be changed. Pray for them to be able to feel the love they are so jealous of others receiving. Pray that someday, Jesus will touch their life as he has mine and changed it! Changed it so much that I am actually ABLE to do what is right in a situation like this… today.
