“GOD WHO FULFILLS HIS PURPOSE FOR ME!”

 Psalm 57:1-3                             (ESV)

    “[1] Be merciful to me, O GOD, BE MERCIFUL TO ME 

     for in YOU my soul takes refuge;

    in the shadow of YOUR wings I will take refuge,

        TILL THE STORMS OF DESTRUCTION PASS BY. 

    [2] I cry out to GOD MOST HIGH,

        to “GOD WHO FULFILLS HIS PURPOSE FOR ME”. 

    [3] HE WILL SEND FROM HEAVEN AND SAVE ME;

        HE will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah

    GOD WILL SEND out HIS steadfast love and HIS faithfulness!”

Today is July 29, 2021.   As I began my day I sent Birthday greetings to several friends sharing the same day of the year as the day of entering “this world” as my mother did 91 years ago.  Then my mind goes back to July 29, 2007, the day I was brought out of a 17 day coma from a near fatal Brain Hemorrhage! Just for a moment the thought went through my mind to not recall the ordeal as it could be taken as someone begging for attention.  But my next thought was about how many times King David wrote about GOD’S unfailing deliverance and I quickly put worrying about what others think where it should be!

David, a man after GODS OWN HEART (1 Samuel 13:14), wrote constantly about taking refuge in GOD MOST HIGH!  He understood, even though he constantly begged for GODS DELIVERANCE, that “GOD WHO FULFILLS HIS PURPOSE FOR ME” was THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSES!  

“GOD WHO FULFILLS HIS PURPOSE FOR ME” works in HIS OWN timeframe.  HE isn’t swayed by my impatience and the immature FAITH that I possess.  Waiting for 17 days to pass might seem like a long time to be totally “out-of-control”, but GOD was displaying to me that I was moving TO FAST, that I needed to SLOW DOWN!

When I graduated high school at the age of 17 years old, I had to WAIT for three months until I was 18 to “be an adult”!  Then I had to WAIT for almost six years until I was married to the perfect woman for me!  One would think that I would be accustomed to WAITING, but GOD IS STILL WORKING ON ME, showing me that the “GOD WHO FULFILLS HIS PURPOSE FOR ME” has a PLAN, and HE WILL SEND out HIS steadfast love and HIS faithfulness!!!
