Thank you back! That's the first time I've seen that translated that way. That is like music to my "ears."

Gina:
he he, So Greg -- Has it become abundantly clear that even though we may seem to be at peace, we're not all that and a bag o'chips? ;D
(Lots of times people have accused me OF being angry with them (on line) when in reality I was laughing my head off at them. I'm SERIOUS! ;D)
Joel:
We can have some peace in just knowing that God is for us.
Romans 8:31
What then shall we say to [all] this? If God be for us, who [can be] against us? - Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?
This post reminds me of the man that Jesus delivered of an unclean spirit, and the peace he must have had afterwards.
Mark 5:15
And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
I would be lying in saying that the Lord hasn't given me a good deal of peace, and has delivered me from a lot of religious demons, and yes some sins that I use to be caught up in. The Truth Of the Word of God, as Ray has taught at Bible-Truths has freed many that have been burdened and bound with the lies and chaos that we all know is out there in the masses. That's the way I see it anyway.
We can have much peace if we know in our hearts that we don't have the same old evil eye, looking to do something that we know is against God's Word. Not fighting God, give in, give up, rest.
Joel
Gina:
Yes, Joel.
Sorry to keep poking my head in here Greg, everybody, but... every time someone says something it sparks another thought. And I think, well it'll help someone. It might even irritate someone. Oh well! Can't please everybody. ;)
We are prone to worry. That's why Jesus said, don't worry. And then it's like this:
You start to focus on not worrying. So you tell yourself not to worry, but it doesn't help because you're focus is still on worry and how not to. So now you're worrying about worrying, see? Vicious cycle. Jesus tells us to not worry the same way God told Adam and Eve to not eat of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But without God holding us back from worrying, we're gonna worry, just like we're gonna eat of that tree without direct intervention -- not because we want to worry but because we're too weak NOT to worry. It's just too tempting.
Then again, there's worry and then there's working out your salvation with fear (awe) and trembling. What's the difference? I don't know.
