What are we wondering about today?

What situation is stewing in our spirit without resolution (yet)?

Have we asked (and prayed) for an answer, and still we are not sure?  

What shall we do?  Will God show up?  Is the Lord aware of our questions and quandaries today?  

The Bible suggests (and confirms): Yes.  And God answers our questions by providing us with (Scriptural) proof of His processes.  

Whatever we are asking God about today...we can trust that He is in process with it.  We might not receive a Heavenly "yay" or "neigh" today, but we can be sure that God has a plan and process for us and our lives, because He has a plan and process for everything.

I was praying for direction and I was quiet in my quandary...and instead of answering me specifically, God's Word reminded me that He is in control of everything.  Not just my (and our) processes, but every created process.  If our Heavenly Father established the world, the waters, and plants for people to use, then we can trust that He has a process and is IN process with our current situations.  

You placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved.  

(6) You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains. (7) At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away. (8) Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed. (9) Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.  

You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains. (11) They provide water for all the animals... 

(13) You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home, and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor. (14) You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use.   ~Psalm 104:5-11, 13-14

God's processes are ordained by Him.  He does all of the things listed above.  He knows when to, how to, and why to, because He is in authority over nature's processes and ours.

Are we wondering today?

Is there a situation stewing in our spirit without resolution today?

Are we ready to submit the question (fully) to God?  Are we praying for direction, and are our hearts quiet in quandary? 

Then, here is our answer, and it comes not-at-all as we supposed, but just as God intended. 

Our answer to today's issue can be found in the proof of God's past-processes and in our trust of God's track record.

You placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved.  ~Psalm 104:5

If He placed the world on its foundation, then surely He will keep us on track.  Trust in God's processes today.  

~~~

You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains. (7) At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away. (8) Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed. (9) Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.  ~Psalm 104:6-9

If our Lord and intelligent Creator made all the waters of the earth, the mountains and valleys, and the boundaries in between: then He can and will AND IS drawing our boundaries and is Master over unknowns.  Trust in God's processes today.  

~~~

You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains. (11) They provide water for all the animals...  ~Psalm 104:10-11

If our Heavenly Father provides a process for all the animals to have water, then surely He will quench the thirsty areas of our heart and mind.  Trust in God's processes today. 

~~~

You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.  ~Psalm 104:19

Our omniscient Lord ordains the seasons each year and the daily setting of the sun.  How can we not realize that we are a priority on His holy daily docket?  He gave His Son for us.  He loves us and His hand guides our seasons too.  Trust in God's processes today. 

~~~

You send the darkness, and it becomes night, when all the forest animals prowl about... (22) At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest. (23) Then people go off to their work, where they labor until evening.  ~Psalm 104:20, 22-23

Trust in God's processes today.  The Lord has ordered the sun, moon, and stars as well as the habits and routines of wildlife.  He knows our daily activities and aspirations too.  He holds us in the palm of His hand.  We can trust in God's Word today.  We can trust in His (since the beginning of time) track record of holding things in place.  We can find hope and proof in His Word.  Trust in God's processes today.

At work, we provide Trainings for customers, so that they can be updated and educated on all of the latest features (and how to use them) within our product.  Many companies do this--sharing "Best Practices" are a way to ensure positive outcomes on the customer and vendor sides of things. My kids often offer me "life hacks" that they have learned from watching an online video promising to "save time" and "make your life easier".  And just this week, my husband enlightened me about the "tear-away" feature built into most plastic rings holding cans/bottles of pop or Gatorade together.  When separated, the plastic rips open easily, releasing the bottle--saving wildlife that might be caught if it is discarded as trash, and saving me  frustration or angst because I no longer have to pull with all my might to get a bottle out of the plastic rings.  ( Who knew? )  Life hacks do save time and make your life easier! Who couldn't benefit from...

The unanswered “why’s” of life, the disorder of our days, and even the unfairness of our struggles can cause us to question ourselves and also to question our God. But the order-of-Creation and the systems that God has set in place are undeniable answers that swing back and forth like God’s pendulum-reminder that He set the world in motion, and He continues to keep order, even when it seems as if we and our world are in dis- order.   Job was a man going through some heavy and hard stuff.   Maybe we are too.   Job’s trials had caused him to question the order of life, and possibly God’s dominion over it.   We can relate.   The “Why’s?” and the “Why Me’s” can stack up in our minds and hearts, but like a parent exercising loving-authority over a child, God reminds Job and us--of His power, omniscience and of His ultimate authority over everything: Creation… and us today .   Then the  Lord  answered Job from the whirlwind: (2) “Who i...

Running low on " good things " today?  Doesn't it (sometimes) seem like/trend like/read like/tweet like/water-cooler-chat or backyard-fence-visit like/intimidate like/depress like... there are no  good things in the land? . I know. It's no secret that many have abandoned  the Law of the  Lord,  and at times, that's us .   It is evident all around us that people have  followed each other  in this sin.  When we look around...or when we live our days...we can wonder: Are there  any  good things  left in the land? There are still some good things in the land ...and no matter how bleak we feel the "forecast" for today is...there will always  be  some good things in the land, because God is in the land.   T he Bible reminds us of that today.   ~~~ The Israelites (and their king, Rehoboam ) were God's people, but like all of us at times/seasons of our lives...they wandered from Lord and His ways....
