Day 28 — The HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD

I am SO thankful for Him. For the work He does. For the healing He brings when we have been wounded; even if the majority of the wound was self-inflicted because we did not quickly enough run to Him for comfort, solace, understanding, and wise counsel.

May each of you today experience the truth that you are securely held in the palm of His Hand, even in Nineveh.  In case you missed yesterday’s posting, click HERE.

Day 27 — That God loves Jonah

Philippians 1:6 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
6 being confident of this very thing, that He who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the Day of Jesus Christ.
via Phil 1:6 KJ21 – being confident of this very thing that – Bible Gateway.

A little before 8:00 AM Monday, November 28, 2011, I will be in Nineveh and I will be there as Jonah was in his Nineveh. This may not sit well with all my readers but it is what it is.

My Nineveh is Federal Court Jury Selection. I am Jonah. To the degree I am Jonah I will spare you.  Albeit I have spent more than 3 days in the belly of the whale over this.

My sojourn into Nineveh – by the way I got a chuckle this morning when I realized that ancient Nineveh is in now-days Iraq – how àpropos! In ancient Nineveh there was great repentance — I don’t expect that in the Nineveh to which I am going.  However if there were I would rejoice!

I am grateful that ABBA loves this Jonah. And I am grateful for the work He has done in this Jonah – for you see I just deleted a paragraph that I personally wanted to leave in. I removed it because it would not be honoring to HIM (truthful about Nineveh but not honoring to my ABBA) so I hit the delete key — that is to HIS credit, not mine.

I am Jonah. And to Nineveh I will go. (I have already been to Tarshish.)  Don’t you pity the folks in Nineveh? :)

Day 25 — Subtitled: Repentance

I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. via 1 John 1 KJ21 – That which was from the beginning which – Bible Gateway.

A gift for which I am most thankful in the wee hours of the morning or any time it is received. It is a gift often left unopened.  Un-received.
I think I know why it takes so long to receive this gift.  It is wrapped in ‘papers’ of humility and pride has to bow to peel those wrappings back. Pride does not like to bow. Pride struggles long and hard before it utters those hated words: ‘I was wrong.  I have sinned. Please forgive me. ‘
Funny thing about it though, once they are uttered they are not so ugly anymore, they quickly turn from foul-tasting to sweet and freeing.

Repentance.
A beautiful gift and it’s not even Christmas yet. :)

Yeah, I ate too much carrot cake yesterday.  :)
Hope you all had much thanksgiving yesterday and no I’m not Black Friday-ing today. But to those of you who are — you are brave and I wish you peace and safety and gift-buying success. Perhaps you will not even need to open the gift of repentance when you get home.  :)

I am thankful for daughters who have learned well. Daughters who have committed themselves to JESUS so much so that now when their mother has a flesh fit, they know just what to say. Daughters who love The WORD and who can and do quote it back to their Momma. GOD IS SO GOOD!!

Happy Thanksgiving, dear IDOKs!!
