O our God, wilt thou not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. 2 Chronicles 20 verse 12 – from Zoom Meeting – S. Martin
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
I think to live a very long life is a blessing. The number of our days God will fulfill. Some may not live long, but with the time we are all given, it is best to live it well. Living long is great when there is good health and the finances to sustain such a life.
For me, living a life pleasing to the Lord is a blessed life because the Lord will give me the desires of my heart. And giving thanks to the Lord is having the mind of Christ.
The Lord is our hope
Lord Jesus is our only real hope. – from New Year’s Zoom Meeting – K. Martin.
Call unto me, and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33, verse 3
What could you do differently?
Life can get so busy when you have different projects on the go or have so many responsibilities to tackle. For me, I set out a schedule, and for brief time, I follow it until I slip because it is too tight to keep up. This stresses me out beyond imagination, and I end up getting sick or angry with myself.
I am getting better, learning to give myself some wiggle room to breathe. Better time management allows for that, but knowing me, I look at what I have to do and fall into the same stress trap.
But I have faith, and I will learn to do better because my health depends on it.
If only I have time.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
And he said unto him, Fear not for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee and that also Saul my father knoweth. 1 Samuel 23 verse 17.
It is sad that Jonathan, Saul’s son, chose the wrong side and died with his father instead of standing at King David’s side. One mistake can lead to dire consequences. Say as Joshua did: choose today whom you will serve, but for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?
Help wanted?
Jesus saves.
Be strong and of good courage.
Once you experience God’s goodness, you can go on to encourage others.
And Joshua said unto them, Fear not; nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. Joshua 10 verse 25.
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?
I think about the past, and I mentally beat myself up. Then, think about the future, and I live in terror.
It is best to learn from the past and live in the now.
neither be thou dismayed.
Have not I commended thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
God tenderly guides his children to safety.
Be brave, knowing he is with us wherever we go.
What is the greatest gift someone could give you?
I have already received and accepted the greatest gift called salvation.
I have received Christ as my savior, and there is no better gift.
He is my rock, my strength, my redeemer who lives today.
The disbelief of others does not make this unreal or untrue.
I believe and trust my Lord.
