“In His Light… Before The Dawn” On Day 3 of 50 and nearing the end of 100th journal. It has been a long week with fearful and sometimes sad times.

“...It is He (The Lord) who saves us…” excerpt from Isaiah33:27
IF we humble ourselves and live in / abide in God’s Truth IN FAITH. For the fact of the matter is----- We live in/abide in God’s Truth whether we choose to believe in it or not.

For better context, ALL of this verse reads: For The Lord is our judge, The Lord is our lawgiver, The Lord is our king, it is HE who saves us.
<><
That is O.T. and N.T. and from the beginning to the end TRUTH that can not be denied.

God’s free will given to us too- will ALWAYS give us the choice to decide HOW we opt to reside in it. WITH or against are really the only two choices to make. ALL freedom is in the with- no hope, no freedom is the against.

Well, that keeps things pretty black and white… even for us artist’ types.
Pretty black and white options YET the GOOD news remains in how great is Gods Love Mercy and Grace…. AND … there is NO PLACE we can journey that GOD can’t reach us – IF we call on Him IN Faith.
We are not to give the ultimatums, we are not to say “fix my messes” per say either … we are simply to RECEIVE and LIVE IN THE JOY OF HIS Sovereignty!!!!

In His glorious Truth on OUR SIDE every day- THERE - there is no better place to reside.

For “If GOD is for us none can come against us” indeed. Remembering TOO it is NOT our will to be done- It is GODs will to be done… remembering:
Acts 2:21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Meaning in faith & response rather than merely words)
Rom 8:28 And we KNOW that in ALL things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. (e.g. effectual: the call of God to which there is invariably a positive response)
Rom 12:9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. (not mere emotional love but an active sincere love) Remember TOO that “GOD is love”
Eph 6:16-24 (in-part) 16… take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish ALL the flaming arrows of the evil one.
<>< FAITH here does not speak of some of the arrows- it states clearly IN TRUTH ALL. It takes faith to believe. It takes love to act on it. It takes saying “yes” to God to have to call on- in ANSWER TO God’s call.
Eph 6:23 Peace to brothers, AND love WITH FAITH from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace to ALL who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.

Yes, the fact of the matter remains: inasmuch that we live in / abide in God’s Truth whether we choose to believe in it or not. It is our choice to live with or against God’s Truths. The GOOD news remains Gods TRUTH remains AND there is GREAT JOY in the Sovereignty of GOD!
Forever and a day. Thank YOU GOD for How GREAT is YOUR LOVE!
