I'm sick...
firefly77:
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to express my appreciation to all who have contributed to this thread. It was very timely for me and a relieve to know I am not alone feeling discouraged or wishing the ongoing struggles would end and God would see it fit to just let me get off this circus wheel. I am so glad He knows what He's doing and ignoring my carnal desires.
As to patience and long-suffering, this world system teaches us to have everything now... today! However, we don't develop patience this way. Quite the contrary is true, it feeds our carnal nature, and we become little spoiled brats very fast.
I have been sitting at my computer for several days in a row to read much more than I usually do of all the material that is available on this site.
Going to college full-time is one of the reasons I have not contributed to this forum lately. School and learning occupied most of my days. I just finished another 6 months of study and was at the end of my rope... physically, emotionally, spiritually worn out... I became irritable, angry, moody and felt like I was not safe for human consumption anymore.
The college wanted me to jump right into another semester but I refused. I was "dead" in more than one way.
Just reading all your posts, "hanging out" with all of you and being fed by the Word has brought back some of my much needed sanity.
24 Grams, you are not alone. Consider yourself blessed that God brought you here and is showing you the Truth.

That is so true Joe,
The Words are sweet, very great promises to come in the future. Now as we have to live (Eat the book) it is a bitter and painstaking life we live with the daily food (book).

I second that! Thanx Joe.
The Truth is so amazing.. yet living it is so hard, rather impossible for us to do alone.. hence we need God's Spirit to overcome.
Isaiah 33:14 Sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling has seized the godless. Who among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among us can live with continual burning?

Good post everyone , we all have our moments like 24 grams but like Job we have to remember who is the Creator and who is the creature
We all need to mediate on the word murmuring in the scriptures
The wilderness expererience was certaining easy example to see the futility of such behavior.
In the new testament ...it was still going on, the pharisees were the most vocal but those listening were doing it and so too today.
For those who Rest in the Total Sovergnity of the Father
Php 2:13 for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
Php 2:14 [size=140pt]All things do without murmurings and reasonings[/size],
Php 2:15 that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,
The faithful are to become salt and luminarie....that means that in themselves theys do nothing .....but let the power of the Father work through them.

This thread and those who have posted has been such an encouragement of love and reprove. It lets me know now what a PRECIOUS GIFT knowing the TRUTH and to handle with care and love. What an HONOR by Father God, not of myself but all glory to Him that chooses to show the TRUTH. It is truly the pearl of great price. Matt 13:45,46 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls, who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it."
The field of the hidden treasure. Matt 13:44 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field."
I thank God each for my brothers and sisters than bring forth pearls of wisdom that God Himself birth in each of you. We all do hurt but we know that we have boldness to come before the throne of grace
Hebrews 4:16 "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need". to the Father and as a child to my Daddy God to sit upon His lap and tell Him I hurt. And He wraps His arms around me as I lay my head to hear His heartbeat. I feel the warmth of His Love in His presence... I also feel the coolness of the refreshing like the spring rain. And He whispers so soft and lovingly.. everything will be OK. You have my Word. I am once again strengthen and renewed with Hope.
Isaiah 40:31 "They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint"
In His Joy,
Bunni

24 grams, is this right? I totally understand how you feel. I am a bit late here and everything seems to be cleared up. We are only human, remember that. We are not perfected yet and in my case I wonder sometimes, if ever, but that's quite the norm. That wondering, I mean. And I do know what you mean when you say"what good is all this chastening when you are worse than before". Someone said here, "take a break, get away from it all for awhile" That's the only thing that really helped me and maybe a good night's sleep. I understand God's word both spiritually and intellectually but as of now I just want to back off for awhile. It has been a day I would rather forget. I did learn something though from this day and that is I am not tough enough but rather too easy on people who never say they are sorry and consequently I get "the works" over and over. I will not argue but act the next time. judy.
