Day 71 – It was a quiet day and as always full of blessings. I went to church and just enjoyed the morning. We were blessed with a message about how Jesus trusted his father even under great pressure right before he was taken captive. He struggled and prayed in the Garden shortly before that time frame. Our pastor showed a clip from The Passion. He showed that time before Jesus was taken captive and how Jesus stamped out the temptation before him. The figure representing Satan had a snake (referencing back to Genesis with Adam and Eve) slither beneath his cloak and start towards Jesus when he was on his knees. Jesus stands up and stomps him dead….just like he will in the end.
After church, I sat with great anticipation waiting for my son to return from his 3 day camping trip. They were a few hours late but he came back very excited. He and one other new scout put up their tent together the other night (at midnight) and had a great time together. I got to hear stories and see how much he had accomplished in the last few days. It just made me realize how much I could let go (to a point) and trust that he is growing up to be the man that I know God will have him be.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."-
Our trust in the Lord is secure and those things that interfere and get in our way will be stamped out.
