Evildoers shall be cut off

YellowRose:
Thank you, Janice!  I fixed it!  My mistake stems from another favorite scripture (Isaiah 54 - the whole chapter) that the Lord gave to me when I was struggling with suicidal feelings from November 1985 through May 1986.  It brought me through those suicidal desires and so much more over the next three years.  I also said in my post that my daughter was 22 months old but she was actually 11 months old when I received Psalm 37:9-11.  The years 1996 and 1997 are a blur to me because of the stress of the situation I was in.  I was diagnosed with shingles the day my divorce decree was signed in August 1997, and I was an otherwise very healthy person.  The doctor said the shingles were completely stress-related.   

At the time all of this was happening to me, I was not always a person with peace and hope.  Many a night my whole body shook from the fear of losing my daughter and the thoughts of her facing a horrible fate in the middle east.  I physically aged considerably during the process.  Her father is very abusive and mentally unstable but also very cunning and manipulative.  It has been my experience to learn that people in the middle east tend to be very manipulative because of their culture and the fact that their governments are so dictatorial.  Manipulation is a very important survival skill and they have really honed it.  There were times that it seemed he had the lawyers all eating out of his hands, sometimes even my own lawyers, but when it came time for a judge's official ruling on a situation, God always kept my daughter safe.  I had a good friend at the time who once told me she was in awe of how clearly God's Hand was with me in everything that was happening.  I didn't always see that, at the time.  After the first three years I started to get it, and all I did after that point was to ignore the naysayers.  Also, after completely giving up for more than three years on trying to get INS to do anything about my ex-husband's illegal activities, "out of the blue" an INS adjudications officer called me on 9/7/01 and asked me to come in to sign an affidavit about what I knew about my ex-husband's illegal activities.  That affidavit was the sole basis for INS's denial of my ex-husband's U.S. citizenship application.  As for the model act legislation, a lawyer involved in the group that makes that happen (National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws or "NCCUSL") unexpectedly approached me at the Texas Senate Committee hearing I was testifying in, in support of the Texas legislation, and "asked" me if he could bring that legislation to the NCCUSL for consideration as a model act (which it has already become).  It was ALL by the Lord's Hand, I truly mean it when I say it. 

It has all been great life lessons, and I apply all that I have learned to each day that I continue to learn how to walk in Him. This journey is so precious to me and such a privilege.  I don't regret anything that has ever happend to me because I know that it has all been in His Will and for His Good Purpose, and when someone else is blessed by my testimony of God's Greatness in my life, it is more than I ever thought it was intended to be.  He is So Amazing!

In His Service,

Cathy

I don't mean to answer a question with a question; but I have to ask: What do you think these scriptures mean? I ask this only because it seems that these particular verses are self explanatory. That is of course my opinion,an opinion I was reluctant to share as I stated earlier. Please do not think I am being flippant or dismissive of your question.

Hi Sonofone,

Thank you for your comment.
God has all of us where he wants us to be.
I already know what I think these scriptures mean. But is what I think right? Or could there be more added on to expand my understanding? Are these scriptures self explanatory? Maybe physically, but not necessarily spiritually.


Peace and Love
Iris

Hi Cathy, Thank you for sharing that great testimonial.

Janice, Yes, it does put an extra dimension on these verses.

I would like to think everyone for their comments and feedback.


Peace and Love

Physical shadows spiritaul.   The 'tabernacle' in the wilderness was a type of picture of the spiritaul demention. 

        I think, you hinder yourself, iris, when you try to make your mind settle on,....what does this mean?....which interpretation is the RIGHT one?   These words speak to everyone, as god shows them to you. You cannot always interpret those words like they applied to cathy, and conform yourself to her testomony as the only way to know what these words mean.

        The fact that you wonder over them is the Spirit bringing you to understand them, for you... not for the world. or not because Someone told you what you where supposed to belive about those words.

       Listen to the Lord, He came into YOU in order that you may know HIM.  For me, those words speak of a Person's lament over the way of the sinners. Over Human blindness and greed. And understanding that God will not let them continue. Eventaully their ways will lead to distruction/insanity.  And when it happens, it wont be too soon......it will have been but for a little while...........Our father's Righteousness is Evermore.

       But thats just me. Take it as a promise of Judgment.

       Maybe you feel that you have not seen any Judgement, you have only seen the evils of the world. And you hope thses words are true......maybe you will get to see it............or maybe that is my own fantacy....i am kinda itchen to see how the Lord's End time Judgment is gonna go down. :P

   My point is............those are His words to YOU, learn form him. if you lack wisdom ask of God, who will give you all good things by and by, start with precept  and add to your understanding another precept. I promise you, the word of GOD will never exhaust it'self in lessons for YOU, both physical and spiritaul. 


     Get Busy.
