July 6 / Every Day God: Dissed!!!

Isaiah 29:13

Amplified Bible (AMP)
13 And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips but remove their hearts and minds far from Me, and their fear andreverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by repetition [without any thought as to the meaning],
"God, I don't want to be this type of worshipper! Forgive me for the times I have been this person!"

Moving on...

Isaiah 29:17-21

The Message (MSG)
17-21 And then before you know it,
and without you having anything to do with it,
Wasted Lebanon will be transformed into lush gardens,
and Mount Carmel reforested.
At that time the deaf will hear
word-for-word what’s been written.
After a lifetime in the dark,
the blind will see.
The castoffs of society will be laughing and dancing in God,
the down-and-outs shouting praise to The Holy of Israel.
For there’ll be no more gangs on the street.
Cynical scoffers will be an extinct species.
Those who never missed a chance to hurt or demean
will never be heard of again:
Gone the people who corrupted the courts,
gone the people who cheated the poor,
gone the people who victimized the innocent.

All we have to do is wait it out. Endure. Stick close to Jesus. And one day, the castoffs will be laughing and dancing! The down and outs will be shouting praise! There will be no more gangs! No more scoffers! The abusers will be gone! Corrupt courts will be gone! Those who cheated the poor will be gone! The predators will be gone! FOREVER!!! And we will all reign with Christ forever and ever!!!

I'm dealing with an interesting situation right now. I am being dissed. As in disrespected. Dismissed. Disregarded. I couldn't disagree more. I'm in disbelief. Because my requests are not disadvantageous! At all. And it's disheartening! Well, I'm sure you get my drift, lol! But as I'm praying about it all, God is saying, "I'll take care of everything. You've been very clear about what your needs are. You've done all you can do. Now let Me take it from here."
So, even though it's hard to let go, God is instructing me to do exactly that. Let go. And I am choosing to obey Him. Because when He takes care of things, He does it right. And I know He has my best interests at heart! And I trust Him. Explicitly.

"God, thank You. I'm feeling better all the time knowing You are working things out for me! And if I'm real with myself, it's actually easier than trying to take care of things myself. Because I usually mess things up worse. I will choose not to worry about it. You are more than capable of taking care of this. You are awesome! Thank You for loving me! Thank You for putting up with me! Love, Your sometimes whiny daughter."
