(from my journal)
I am disappointed. Things are so out of control. But the Lord is gracious. He assures me that the life He has for me is to be lived here, “in the world,” as difficult and uncomfortable as it is. If I can live by faith in the midst of these troubles and distractions, I will have learned a valuable lesson.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God
whose ways you may not understand at the time.
Oswald Chambers
Be still. Be patient. Expect the Eternal to arrive and set things right.
Don’t get upset when you see the worldly ones rising up the ladder.
Don’t be bothered by those who are anchored in wicked ways.
Psalm 37:7 The Voice
Always remember that your present situation
is not your final destination.
The best is yet to come.

13 I know that I will live to see
the Lord’s goodness in this present life.
14 Trust in the Lord.
Have faith, do not despair.
Trust in the Lord. Psalm 27:13-14 Good News Translation
Because I will not be in this situation one minute more than necessary.
