God ProvidesTuesday Matters- May 3, 2022
Everyday Mountaintop I still remember our youth pastor reminding me that two of our sons must sign up for a big upcoming youth event. Hey this is Debbie Griffith with Everyday Matters. “It’s a mountaintop experience they can ride on for weeks” he said. I couldn’t help but think of what I’d just read in Habakkuk 3:19; “The Lord God is my Strength; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk, not in terror but make spiritual progress upon my high places of trouble, and suffering!” We tend to think that the highest place to be is on the mountaintop with no problems and everything going our way, but God says our high places are very often our troubles and sufferings. A mountain goat that has hinds’ feet can leap pretty freely on rocky and difficult slopes. They climb mountains with really no effort because of the way God’s made them. When we trust God, He gives us hinds’ feet to make spiritual progress during tough times. The mountaintop experience is strength and victory through the treacherous valleys…everyday. 5/2/2022
ForgivenessMonday Matters-May 2, 2022
Everyday Erased Think how amazing it is that God chooses not to remember your messy past or sins. He chooses never to bring them up again once you've received His forgiveness. Hey this is Debbie Griffith with Everyday Matters. In Isaiah 43:25 God tells us; “I am the One who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins." When you read Hebrews 11, you see a list of the great men of faith; Abraham, Moses, David, etc. yet none of their sins are listed even though they were sinners. This is because God chooses not to recall the sins that He’s already erased. Now travel to Ephesians 4:32 where Jesus tells us to forgive as the Father has forgiven us. This can be so difficult. That means when we choose to forgive someone, we also must choose not to bring up that offense again; to them, others or to ourselves… ever! Probably the hardest thing is to not allow our minds to rehearse the hurt. ONLY through His Holy Spirit strength is this possible…everyday. |
