Day 11 of Advent: "You must leave this
scarlet rope hanging from the window." ~Joshua 2:18 "Great faith is the
greatest equalizer, the greatest eraser, and the greatest definer...No
personal choice that muddied your life can ever trump the
divine choice to wash your life clean...That scarlet cord Rahab threw
out the window? That same word in Hebrew means "hope." You think about
that as you tie string around Christmas gifts...The scarlet lifeline of
Christ." ~Ann Voskamp
This week's blog topic from Proverbs 31 OBS is on “Worry”… AND I know a thing or two about worry. I’m betting a lot of you reading this do as well. Dictionary.com defines worry as: “ to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. ” Torment oneself. Suffer. Fret. That’s what I can do to myself sometimes. I’ve heard that if you worry you don’t really trust that God can handle it. You don’t trust God with it. That’s hard to swallow for me. Because I worry about my kids, my family, me, friends, etc. But I’m in the Bible every single day. I am a Jesus girl. So for me to worry and then see that my worry means I don’t trust that God can handle it is hard. UGH. I am getting better about it though. My time with God every morning is helping. When I start to worry about something…I begin to pray. I stop the tormenting in its tracks and give it to Jesus. Now, I may have to give it to Jesus more than once.
