Abba, it has been challenging this week to keep my focus. In my mind I have considered several posts with titles that might reflect where my distractions have been:
- Spiritual Problems, Spiritual Solution (regarding the state of religion and politics, especially the evangelical church)
- What Does She Want? (regarding my accuser's imagined endgame)
- Justice in Several Areas (the former president, my daughter's low salary, and my own false accusation)
I am continuing with The Bible Recap assignments on a daily basis and I marvel (not the first time) at how You use the Scriptures for the day to speak to my heart, my life, and my soul. Joseph ultimately forgave and blessed his brothers, who treated him so badly, not before making them grovel a little bit! He practiced a bit of subterfuge and sleight of hand, too. I have seen Joseph's business acumen, wisdom, and breath of knowledge as well. This guy was no lightweight. I wouldn't mind being a bit like him with respect to his endurance of false accusations, careful restoration of relationships (thinking about my DH's recent question about forgiving my accuser), and management of wealth and business.
In this meantime, Lord Father, let me be more faithful and devoted. Show me how to do this in ways that are effective and honoring to You. We may well be entering into a period of history when evil seems to triumph, when justice seems to be slow in coming. You ultimately bring it! May I not rush ahead of Your perfect timing.
Amen!
