PJP2 “7 PRAISES” - 161003 - AF-FO BLOG T Minus 10 - TRUST

AF-FO Blog T minus 10 - In 10 days I will have my Air Force Final Out - meaning, I will be on Transitional Leave after 30 cumulative years (5 years US Army/25 Years US Air Force).  I am sensing The Holy Spirit's suggestion that I focus PJP2s on His Input in regards to what these past 30 years have meant, what God's Taught and Shared and, As He Leads, what's coming down the pipeline....

I am sure you've noted over the past several PJP2s there's been a JAJ ACRONYM that's somewhat anchored the PJP2 Entries.  :) What can I say, you know how I love ACRONYMs.  Good Lord Willing, I will keep up that habit for a time to come, until, at least, He Points a Different Direction He's Desiring me to go.....

So the AF-FO Blog / T -10 is on TRUST today.  One of the Key Lessons I have been Taught and tried to Share over the past 30-years is that of TRUST.  Rightly so our First TRUST should ever and always be in our Lord Jesus Christ, God The Father and His Holy Spirit.  The PJP2s for 161003 will zero in on that aspect of TRUST.  Secondly, though indeed the First TRUST is overarching through the Second - the Second TRUST has been to TRUST God's Working within and through the System I have been aligned with.  Now, as we all recognize, The System, be it Army, or Air Force, or Civilian Driven - Those Systems are man-made systems, and thus human imperfections are unavoidable.  Though I am not sure the Trials and Testing we endure via these Systems rise to the level of 'Sufferings', I sense The Holy Spirit Sharing these POWS with us.....

....Romans 5:1-5 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Therefore, Since we Have Been Justified By FAITH, we Have PEACE With God THROUGH our Lord Jesus Christ.  THROUGH Him we Have Also Obtained ACCESS BY FAITH Into This GRACE In Which we Stand, And We REJOICE In HOPE Of The Glory Of God. NOT Only That, BUT we REJOICE in our Sufferings, Knowing That Suffering Produces Endurance/Perseverance , And Endurance/Perseverance Produces Character, and Character Produces HOPE, And HOPE Does NOT put us to shame, Because God's LOVE Has Been Poured Into our Hearts Through The Holy Spirit Who Has Been Given To us."....

Oh, Team, it is not to be presumed that I've not been disappointed by an action of The System, I have, BUT my point in these AF/FO T-Minus Blogs is NOT to make these a litany of my angst or complaints, not at all.  My Point is to be (a) Awareness; (b) Reflective; (c) Mindful of the Impact;  (d) Your Encourager (Hey....ARMY.....how about that).....

So.....for today's PJP2 161003.....AF/FO T Minus 10.....The JAJ ACRONYM Focus is TRUST.....

.....TRUST - Trust & Rely on Ultimate Source of TRUTH
