When Darin read this post he wished he could have been here to hear Macy sing because it seemed so unusual.
I was thinking about how people call God the “good Lord”. To them it seems He is a jeannie in a bottle. I decided to look up verses about how God is good. I came upon Lamentations 3. As I was reading the verses Macy was playing with her Dora and Care Bear dominos a friend recently gave her. This friend’s parents are getting a divorce. They had to sell their big beautiful home and move into a condo. Now she gets to wake up without her Dad most mornings and her Mom has to get a job. Breaks my heart. As I was reading and praying to myself for those of you in distress, I asked the Lord who this verse was for….Macy without knowing what I was doing began to sing these words:
Why are you doing this to my husband
Why are you doing this to my husband
Why are you doing this to my husband
I didn’t do anything
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing
Read Lamentations 3 and ask the Lord to speak to you through them
You will see that
God is not a jeannie in a bottle
Where you can demand what you want
He is holding the bottle
He commands what He wants
He is saying
You go there
And you go here
You do this
And you over there do that
No
Not there
There
Love you and praying you will have the courage to trust the Bible is TRUE and God is in control. He knows what all of you need! Lean into Jesus today.
I remember when Darin and I were separated the last time. He walked into our house and said to me, with a big smile on his face, “I have never been happier!” I just looked at him and didn’t say anything. Shortly thereafter I was served divorce papers.
I reminded Darin of it this morning and he said he does not remember saying it because back then he was never happy.
Darin looked and sounded like he was in total control of his life and consequently mine but if you were to look at our life now you would see that God most definitely had a plan.
You can do this!
