Over The Shoulder
God, you've done it all! Who is quite like you? You, who made me stare trouble in the face, Turn me around; Now let me look life in the face. (Psalm 71:20 MSG).
Mess and discord scrape hard the call where worldly bandages seem nothing but vexed. “ For He has torn, but He will heal” Hosea 6:1 tells us, yet we bemoan all the wild, or so it seems...Consequence is grunt for those The Cloud Rider calls back and back again. Our faces get oh so dirty, but great is the One whose heavenly bandages dress our wounds. It is only by that accord that we fully become cleansed; that we may rise up, whether it be in the morning, in a church, or on the third day. Life in the face is pursuance of the Lord; to know Him, to grow Him even in the midst of trouble and calamity. As rain comes early and comes late, the prophet Hosea goes on, we shall find Him. We shall find Him no matter how drenched we are or become because God has done it all! No one else can or ever will do it all; it’s impossible. The point is that because He’s been there and took our place, we don’t have to. The call we cannot regret then, is the call to repentance, so that I may be cast about face, 180 degrees, looking life in the face anew and anew and anew, shedding what was prior to the return in order to receive the glorious burn.
Yes and Amen.

God wants all of us to live in the freedom, restoration, and wholeness He has for us. No matter where we have been or why we got there, Yet, while we were sinners He died for us. God hates Sin, but loves the sinner and when we come to Him with a repentant heart he will not turn us away, but draw us ever so much closer. God is greater than any thing that we may be shackled by. His plans for each one of us includes freedom to live His life in Him in Victory!Dan, The enemy of your soul meant to devour, but God shut his mouth and will continue to keep you safe even in the Lions den He is there with you. Ps. 91:14-16 and Ps 20:4
