I gave a brief summary last evening at the end of the men’s meeting. It pertains to suicide and more. Everyone has value. God found it needful to send His Son to die for us so that we may be restored in fellowship with Him. That is His value in us. If we’re down in the pits, look up for your redemption draws nigh.
For us, the value of God is to realize He is all in all for us. We should thank Him at all times for His abundant grace and mercy. My pressing thought was to turn the thinking of looking at circumstances negatively around to a challenge to be overcome. This is how God teaches us His principles. In following Him we prosper.
Today Libby and I encountered a circumstance that we take as a challenge. When I spoke with God about it all He says is “The time has come” on the situation. I’m satisfied with what He says. Never let your circumstances overtake you.
If you’re thinking in a defeated mentality realize that tomorrow is where the answer is and wait upon the Lord. He will bring you victory over circumstances by taking them as a challenge to overcome.
About JimR, Chaplain
I'm a 74-year-old guy, in October 2024, who worked in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 28 years and now retired as of 31 Dec 16. I've worked in medical records, the Health Benefits Department, Billing, and the IT department and retired as the Personnel Security Manager for the hospital. I'm a musician and Corvette enthusiast. Yes, I have had two. I traded my second Corvette for a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in mid-summer 2019. Then in 2024, I traded to an HD FreeWheeler FLRT. I've already ridden the new one a thousand miles in 6 weeks. I'm also searching for a fresh new outlook on life with new spiritual insight among other things. I was ordained a minister in 20190202. I've become certified with the American Chaplaincy Association through Aidan University in June '21. I've found that with the unconditional love of my companion, Libby Rowe life is complete through God. She's a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman who gives her all in everything she puts her mind to do. She and I married on 24 July 2015. She was ordained in February 2022. She has a blog too called Under a Carolina Moon. Give it a visit.
