What if…we focus this topic on Scripture and testimony of when God has catered for the What If’s as opposed to the What/When/WHO If’s?
12 O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you,…
2 Chronicles 20
10 Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
Listening to this update, I had a good laugh because I’ve done what Farag says not to do. I enjoy it sometimes and entertain it at times but not every time. The thoughts of “What If’s” I have fun with this now (once again, not every time).
“What if you go to jail for being a Christian?”
“What if I step on a crack and break my mamma’s back?”
“Right, but what if they come for you in your sleep?”
“When do I sleep?”
“But what if there’s a nuclear attack?”
“Oh no, you’re right! I mean, I could be walking down the street, step on a crack, break my mom’s back while stepping on a lady bug or a wasp chases me, thus creating a wind current that causes Putin to get a chill up on his back only to hit the nuke button…oh no!”
“Well? What if?”
“Meh, God’s got this no matter what.”
“But…”
“Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot you were there. You may go now.”
I now think I understand why God allowed my meeting back in high school with a Marine Recruiter which resulted in kicking me out of his office for wasting his time for three hours (He wouldn’t take no for an answer on the phone, so I wasted his time. I even had a friend come with me for the meeting.) If I can annoy a recruiter for three hours till he kicks me out - think about how much annoyance I can bring to the evil thoughts coming to mind? “WHAT IF”
At least Farag added that the church still offers exemption letters should we need them. If we’re still here.
(Exhales a deep sigh of relief, wipes sweat from brow and calls (80’s) MacGuyver for assistance and a pocketknife)
1 Peter 5:7-11
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
I enjoyed the song Kapono (I hope I spelled his name correctly!) at the end of the update. Thought I needed to hear it again. Thought you might like to hear it again too.
