This is quite an interesting time in my life. Someday I will write about it. Maybe when it's over. For now, suffice it to say that I have some pretty great friends and I spend a lot of time around my house. And it feels like it's moving toward something good, most days, but other days it feels long and endless and I just want to buy new things as a means of making myself feel different. But I don't. (Was that penultimate sentence a run-on? Probably.)
As I make my way oh-so-slowly toward the new and different, I am encouraged by a sermon emphasizing these parts of 2 Samuel. I wanted to share.
From 2 Samuel 7:8-11
‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel. I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth. And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies.
I took you.
I have been with you.
I will provide a place for you.
I will give you rest.
