This Week's Weekly Wisdom is as follows:
Safety is not found in the absence of danger but in the presence of God.
Even while David was seized by his enemies, the Philistines, he wrote this: When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? (Psalm 56:3-4).
David knew that no matter what his circumstances looked like -- whether his life was in great danger or not -- his safety depended on God. It is no surprise, then, that David wrote in Psalm 27:1-3: The Lord is my light and my salvation -- whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life -- of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.
When you feel afraid of what other people can do to you, remember that God has ultimate control over your life. However, it is important to note that in order to expect God's protection, you must be in God's presence. Notice that Psalm 91:1-2 says, He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." In order to be rest in God's shadow, you must be in His presence -- and that means spending time with God, reading His Word, and praying.
Whether the people coming against you are terrorists or just your neighbor, remember that it is God you protects you: The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? (Psalm 118:6).
The principle that safety is found in God is summarized by Psalm 4:8, which says, I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. You may be in dangerous circumstances, but safety is found not in the absence of danger but in the presence of God.
In every situation, there are always two stories—the story you see and the story God sees.
Sometimes life seems to be taking us down a huge detour and everything looks like it's not going our way. In those situations, our life and our story seems to be a disaster.
This is exactly what happened to Joseph, whose story is found in Genesis 37-50. Joseph's brothers jealously hated him and sold him into slavery. Joseph was wrongfully put in prison for raping Potifer's wife, when really he refused to compromise his integrity by sleeping with her. Then, Joseph helped get the chief cupbearer out of jail; however, when the cupbearer had an opportunity to return the favor and get Joseph out of jail, the man forgot about Joseph. Joseph ended up spending thirteen years in jail for something he didn't do.
At this point Joseph's story was going haywire, but God's story was right on track. That's because God had an amazing plan for Joseph's life; God was going to use Joseph to save Egypt and the surrounding lands for seven years of devastating famine. What looked to Joseph like a huge detour was really a great plan of God to provide food for countless people, including the very brothers that had sold Joseph into slavery.
At the end of this, Joseph realized that God had a bigger plan for his life, and after his brothers come to him for food, he tells them: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives" (Genesis 50:20).
All along, God's story was right on track.
This same principle is also true in the life of Jesus. To the disciples, it looked as those Jesus would be a great king who would rule Israel and return the nation to greatness. They hailed him as a great leader. So, when Jesus was being crucified, the story they saw looked like a major train wreck—this great leader whom they had followed for the past three years was suddenly dead. However, God's story was at its peak—God was in the process of connecting humanity to himself.
There's what you see and what God sees.
When your life seems to be a major disaster; know that God has bigger plans to use your life for great things. The story you see may not reflect the long-term story God has planned. Therefore, trust God, knowing that he works for good in all circumstances (Romans 8:28).
What's going on in my Mind?
Wow, how time has flown by since I made my last blog post and I am sorry for the long awaited wait for it also, I have had a ton of things on my mind as of late and it all came to ground today.
Alot has happened since I last blogged as well and I am about to get into that. Well here it goes, As you all may have known I quit smoking back on Valentine's day 2013 well it only lasted 1 month because after one month I started back up, and have been smoking since I started back up still.
Counseling has somewhat helped as well, I have tried to become more open about things that go on in my life and at work is what we discuss at my counseling appointments once a week in which I go to I think I need it once a week also because I feel it gives me someone to talk to.
As Far as from last week goes I had a bit of an Incident and here it is as follows I have cleared the names to keep them protected.
As far as the happenings at the turnaround from last week, we were just goofing off and I think the people that caught us who were Person A and Person b well and they thought we might have gone to far. we were tapping each other on the hands back and forth as well, and also like calling bobby old man as well but it wasn't nothing major and when Person A and the Person B intervened I told them it was none of their business and to stay out of it, and I put some swear words into it. and I found out he called one of the travel trainers the next day.
So I have a meeting today to talk about that and another thing that has been on my mind as well lately and that is am I truly happy living with my sister.
As Many of you may not know I moved from a group home in december of 2011, to move into a house with my sister and it has been a decent time but I am not sure if I am happy with the decision still or not it's going to be a tough decision because I am not sure if my sister and brother in law could afford the house we live in by themselves and I don't want to put them into a bad spot if I move out or not.
I feel like I am at a point where I do need to move back out on my own but I am not sure if I would want to. I think as of right now the only pluses to moving out right now would be is a better area where the buses run better and on weekends because where I live now the buses don't run on saturday and sunday which is a bummer. and the other plus is that I would be on my OWN, I know I would still have to have people come and check up on me every now and then but I could deal with that, as far as everything else goes I think my head is on straight work has been keeping me busy with work, I also did a volunteer green and clean on may 3rd 2013 at lock three which was fun even though we didn't get to do anything but I got my picture with the mayor of Akron which was cool.
As Far as Mother's Day goes I hope all the mother's and moms to be out there had a wonderful and special day all to your selfs because you moms deserve it you put up with alot being a mom is a full time job and you do deserve the day all to your selfs so I hope it was special in the end, as I had another hard year without my mom because most of you may not know my mom died back in 1995 at the age of 39, and I was 12 at the time so it has been hard but I always think of the good memories I had with my mom and she was the best mom ever even if I don't feel like if I was the best son ever, I still enjoyed everything she did for me in the 12 years I knew my mom, and I do miss you everyday mom you are the best you showed me the way to be as an adult even though sometimes I am not on that path, I think if you were still around today I hope you would of been proud of me.
As far as if I don't make another blog post before memorial day I would like to thank everyone who wears a uniform in the military and serves out country and defends our rights to have the freedoms that we have today we are so grateful and thankful for what you and your families sacrifice on a day to day basis, and also to the EMS crews which includes firefighters, police, and EMS paramedics I would also like to take the time and thank you as well for your service that you all do on a day to day basis and that is why I am glad to say that I am proud to be an American.
So I guess for this blog post I guess that is all for now.
