Journal Entry December 13, 1998
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be on His
shoulder.
And his name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6(NKJV)
Isaiah lists four titles for Jesus . Tonight, I will reflect on the title Mighty God. He is the strongest person I
know; He bears all our burdens, all of our sorrows, all our grief. Psalm 55:22
tells us He will sustain us. He will never let the righteous fall.
Tonight,
my husband had to hear something about a man in our church; he heard this story
from some former members. I had my reasons for not sharing this story with Jim .
1.) At some point fact
becomes gossip or at least hearsay.
2.)
I was concerned about the gentleman and the turn of events. I didn’t want to communicate
anger or apprehension to my husband.
3.)
I don’t always understand my husband’s reaction to what I tell him.
4.)
I try not to spread rumors or pass on
tales or bad stories on people.
5.)
I want God’s approval on my life; so I try to abide by His rules and teachings.
I
have to trust God with my feelings
for these people. I need to know that my feelings
for these people are true and in line with what God wants.
I
believe God can be trusted for everything and, because of His great might that
my trust is as it should be. I want to examine my heart to see if I am correct
in my thoughts.
Lord,
search me, look into my heart and see if I am attaining the qualities that You
desire me to have. Please forgive me for my bad behavior that I displayed
today.
