(From my journal dated 8 7 2002)
Missy tried to get over the fence again yesterday. Frustrated, I complained, “Lord, why does she have to do this? Why can’t she be happy with all she has?”
He answered, “Why can’t you?”
It’s true. “The lines have fallen to me in a pleasant place.” (Psalm 16:6a NIV)
I am very well blessed. And looking back, I see God’s fingerprints all over my life. Amazing!
Lord, you alone are everything I need. You make my life secure.
I am very pleased with what you have given me.
I am very happy with what I’ve received from you.
Psalm 16:5-6 New International Reader’s Version
At the end of the day, I am thankful that
my blessings are greater than my problems.
The older I grow, the brighter I see this truth at work in my life.
