On the weekend of April 6th 2019 when Shazam premiered-I went to see it with my extended family to see it…
In Gods wisdom and providence-and All He is…Would use it as a memorial stone of His goodness and mercy to His children – in particular to me and my family…engraved on it is:
Matthew 11:
28 “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.† 29 Take up my yoke and learn from me,† because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.† 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Yet I did not see in my blindness caused by my dark time of the soul-my personal
thorn in my flesh:
1 Corinthians 12:
8 Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it would leave me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power† is perfected in weakness.”†
The Throne of Grace by C. H. Spurgeon
I forget like the ancient Israelites:
doubting His goodness,His purpose and His care and guidance of me individually..
That First “Christmas “ when:
John → Prologue 1 In the beginning† was the Word,† and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.† 2 He was with God in the beginning.† 3 All things were created† through him,† and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. 4 In him was life,†† and that life was the light† of men. 5 That light shines† in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome† it.† 6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John.† 7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.† 8 He was not the light, but he came to testify† about the light. 9 The true light† that gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.†† 10 He was in the world, and the world was created† through him, and yet the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive† him,† he gave them the right† to be† children† of God,† to those who believe† in his name,† 13 who were born,† not of natural descent,† or of the will† of the flesh,† or of the will of man,† but of God.† 14 The Word† became flesh† and dwelt† among us. We observed his glory,† the glory as the one and only† Son† from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John testified concerning him and exclaimed, “This was the one of whom I said, ‘The one coming after me† ranks ahead of me,† because he existed before me.’ ”)† 16 Indeed, we have all received grace† upon† grace from his fullness, 17 for the law was given through Moses;† grace and truth† came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. The one and only† Son, who is himself God and† is at the Father’s† side—he has revealed him.†
I realized that Christ not only in general is the light of the world 🌎 but personal and specifically (in any believers life be they a thief in the cross to seasoned saints-All period…have,equally,access,possessions,guidance,care and privilege (not a welfare type right unbelievers believe and demand and expect as manifest destiny (and us Christians are sometimes not to far behind)
But specifically me:
After five-six plus years of dialysis and being on the kidney list and me losing my job…He came into my life at the nick of time His wise timing not mine:
Like my Indiana Jones:
or the old laurel hardy march of the wooden soldiers fond memoirists of my childhood He came into my life at the nick of time His wise timing not mine:
Like my superman:
And my flash:
