PJP2 PROLOG POST 160302 - Isaiah 43:10-13 (NIV/emphasis added/jaj)...."{And God Said}....'You Are My witnesses,' Declares The Lord, 'And My servant whom I Have Chosen, So That you May Know And Believe Me And Understand That I AM He.  Before Me no god was formed, NOR Will There Be one after Me.  I, Even I, AM The Lord, And apart from Me There Is No Savior.  I Have Revealed And Saved And Proclaimed—I, And Not some foreign god among you.  You Are My witnesses,' Declares The Lord, 'that I AM God.  Yes, And from ancient days I AM He.  No one Can Deliver Out Of My Hand.  When I Act, who can reverse It?'”....

These past five days have been a blur.  Dad Wolfe's crossing-over, the subsequent efforts to appropriately honor him, take care of all the family, and ensure assurance both externally and internally of Peace and Comfort has brought us to this point where the busyness of handling these matters has finally begun to settle down.  That has brought me personally to that moment during this cycle of grief that one pauses and ponders one's own mortality, as well as introspection on God's Next within our collective Lives.

I will never ceased to be Amazed at How our Lord Jesus, via His Holy Spirit within us, Relays The Word of God The Father Through His Written Word.  As I have been mulling over (as noted above) all the events of these past five days, this morning He Shares with me Isaiah 43:10-13.  Exactly His Word That I Needed to Hear and Savor.  

Isaiah 43:10-13 (NIV/emphasis added/jaj)...."{And God Said}....'You Are My witnesses,' Declares The Lord, 'And My servant whom I Have Chosen, So That you May Know And Believe Me And Understand That I AM He.  Before Me no god was formed, NOR Will There Be one after Me.  I, Even I, AM The Lord, And apart from Me There Is No Savior.  I Have Revealed And Saved And Proclaimed—I, And Not some foreign god among you.  You Are My witnesses,' Declares The Lord, 'that I AM God.  Yes, And from ancient days I AM He.  No one Can Deliver Out Of My Hand.  When I Act, who can reverse It?'”....

Thus in the midst of the current stormy waters of death crashing upon our breakwater and harbor entrance, as we being the ones left on this side of Life's chasm contemplating sailing back onto those churning seas - It is Calming and Reassuring to Hear our Soul's Captain's Voice over the din of the roaring waves, "I AM He!"...."I Have Revealed And Saved And Proclaimed"...."I AM God"...."When I Act, who can reverse it?"

Thank You Lord.

Thus my Prayer for us today would be simply - O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Thank You for Your Loving Presence and Your Amazing Grace.  Even in the middle of our sorrow and feelings of loss, Thank You that You Shine Your Eternal Light into our grief-stricken Hearts.  Thank You for Lifting us Up to Stand Upon Your ROCK of Assurance that no storm can ever overwhelm.  O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, May we Reflect Your Truth that You Are God, our God, and In You and You Alone are we Safe.  We Lift Up our Prayers in Your Holy Name....Amen/Amen....jaj

May His Love, Light, Mercy and Grace Ever Be with you and yours.....jaj
