"It is You alone who are to be feared.
Who can stand before You when You are angry?
From heaven You pronounced judgment,
and the land feared and was quiet--
when You, God, rose up to judge,
to save all the afflicted of the land.
Surely Your wrath against mankind brings You praise,
and the survivors of Your wrath are restrained."
Psalms 78:7-10
Oh, Abba, I am a little afraid, a little anxious, a little intimidated. I know and I believe with all my heart that nothing can compare with You or compete with You. This upcoming arbitration is my attempt to secure justice, such as I understand it in my limited experience. If I am wrong, let me accept Your will and Your justice. I know in Scripture that You do not always (or even often) intervene on my time or on my terms in unjust situations. BUT--Your people remain faithful. I want that to be me! No matter what happens, I want to trust You, not lose heart, keep on, and I want over all for You to be honored and glorified. You have already been gracious to me; I have more than enough, and my new work is very fulfilling.
TLC just referenced the "bruised reed" that You will not break. That hit a tender place in my heart; I have felt like a bruised reed.
Your will be done--Amen.
