Poem
Memories of the past may fade away. Sometimes, forgetting is a blessing and what has happened, and is happening, is all a part of God's perfect plan of redemption. In life, guilt and shame can be a blessing that leads us to the Cross, and in brokenness and repentance, the Lord heals. How do I view myself in the here and now? I may be as a spectator or a participant; watching, learning, wrestling–in and out of the arena of life as the days go by. How do I see God in the midst of life? He is always active and sovereign over all. God uses people and their circumstances in life to gain glory for Himself. Regardless of wandering in confusion, and not understanding God's way, He is always working. I need to remember that faith is active and victory is known in battle and this life is a battle ground. God's power and deliverance succeeds in the midst of the chaos of life despite of what I think. How do I view the sin nature of the believer? We still sin against God and sin against others. We are not perfected yet, but I know I am not what I used to be and continue to run the race. There are always opportunities to show God’s grace and mercy to others as He shows us. There are always crossroads where there are choices when we might choose folly or wisdom. There are opportunities to redeem the wrong and make it right. In the believer there is continuous work of progressive sanctification. We need to cling to the Lord and seek Him always that we do not constantly slip down the slope of doing what is right in our own eyes. What alters my emotions? Once upon a time it was alcohol and drugs when I could be, “comfortably numb.” Now I need to carefully ponder my perception of life–is it clear or cloudy–influenced by others' opinions, or the Lord's; the One who enlightens me that I might see life as He sees it. The more I come to understand Him, the less I am controlled by my natural emotions. To my Father in heaven I pray, Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And will glorify Your name forever. Psa 86:11,12 **“Comfortably Numb” comes from Pink Floyd song title and lyrics.
