From What ifs and When this to SURELY!!

THIS MORNING I did not wake up joyous.  As a matter of fact, I tossed and turned most if not all of the night.  I was bombarded with WHAT IFS and WHEN THIS.  I WAS WORRYING and it spilled over into THIS MORNING.  THIS MORNING. I WAS PLAYING AND REHEARSING HOW I WAS GOING TO ADDRESS AND DEAL WITH THE WHAT IFS AND WHEN THIS that I allowed to disturb my rest and attack my peace.

What if my job….when this president….what if my friends….when this promotion…what if my test or exam….when this treatment….what if I can’t….when this situation….what if and when this.  These are just a sampling of the WHAT IFS AND WHEN THIS  I was grappling with last night and THIS MORNING.  THIS MORNING. 

THIS MORNING and last night, I did not hear the birds singing.  Throughout the night and into the morning, the birds sing loudly, sounding like car alarms.  Yet, I did not hear them.  The WHAT IFS AND WHEN THIS was my focus.  THIS MORNING.

As I am typing this post, it dawned on me that THIS MORNING COMMEMORATES THE RESURRECTION OF MY LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  I am not saying (typing in this case) that I DID NOT KNOW THAT IT IS RESURRECTION/EASTER SUNDAY. I went to our Easter program rehearsal yesterday, I purchased outfits for my two great-nephews (Demetrick and Kameroun).   The WHAT IFS AND WHEN THIS WAS MY FOCUS.

I just now opened my door to listen for the birds.  They are singing AND were singing last night and throughout the night.  I could not hear the birds singing praises because I was focused on the WHAT IFS and WHEN THIS and as I type the NOW WHAT? THIS MORNING.

THIS MORNING, I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN UP REJOICING BECAUSE HE LIVES.

THIS MORNING, I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN UP REJOICING BECAUSE HE REPLACED MY WHAT IFS AND WHEN THIS AND NOW WHAT? WITH SURELY!!!!!!

SURELY HE LOVES ME!!!!

SURELY HE IS FAITHFUL TOWARDS ME!!!!

SURELY HE IS MERCIFUL TOWARDS ME!!!!

SURELY HE EXTENDS HIS GRACE TOWARDS ME!!!!

SURELY HE PROTECTS ME!!!!!

SURELY HE PROVIDES FOR ME!!!!

SURELY!!!!

“…NOTHING will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is CHRIST JESUS…”
