(Something Inside) So Strong

I love reading books. I especially like reading old books where the pages have browned from age. It makes me feel as if I am peering into a lost treasure. Peeking into the cover of some long hidden away message that was written before I was even born. It is for the same reason I love reading the bible but added to that is a search to better understand the charachter of God. I am never dissapointed. I always find something that adds to a better understanding of Him. Psalm 78 that says in part "O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old- what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done." As I read this scripture I think about my weathered brown pages and when I started to write a book about my life after I found out that I had bone cancer. I wrote on pages that turned into chapters about my life so that my children who were only 2 and 3 years old at the time could peer into it's cover and know who I was. The worse thing about dying was knowing that my children would not know me. At their young ages they would probably not even remember what I looked like. As I read this scripture I realized that it was not my story that needed to be heard. If it were just me on the pages it offered very little value. But Gods story, His character being emulated through it's entirety would point to the only book that brought eternal value. My children, the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. It is a pretty powerful revelation when you come to understand that when you are defining your own circumstances on it's pages, even when well written, you have less value. However, when God enters into this thing called life suddenly it's a story worth repeating throughout generations.

I was not there when God divided the sea and led His people through to safety but I was there when God prepared me for a flood of circumstances that had the potential of destroying me and my children. He gave me truth that would be painful but His truths were the anchor that kept me and my children from being tossed into a tumultuous ending. The confusing violent attempts were anchored by the Lord Himself... (Something Inside) So Strong

I don't think my explanation of God in my life woud include Him guiding me with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night but I can say that God counseled me in ways that would help me to see when I was confused and not seeing things right. He would get me back on the right track through profound messages of love and a knowing of His character.

I know the God that spread a table in the desert and cared for me when I did not have the means. Even though a portion of that meal was bitter and difficult to swallow I see the strength I have gotten because of it. The fullfillment of His love as He has promised us all. It is because of this meal that I believe in God's love for me and trust in His deliverance more then ever before. I remember that God was our Rock, Most High was our Redeemer. I know now that when I send out a simple invitation it is God who will secure who answers that invitation and joins me. He also will ensure that those who He does not want in my life will in fact decline. I know that I am but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return. That it is God and His word that dwells in me and creates a strength within me. (Something Inside) So Strong.

I read the words .... "He prepared a path for His anger" and with tears in my eyes, It is not the fear of God or man crushing me that causes me to do the right thing in the eyes of God. It is looking up at Him and not seeing His tender smile and his laughlines that frame His eyes. It is not difficult to turn away from a thing that offers pleasure for a day when I imagine for a moment that God is not proud of me but rather dissapointment is on His face. Now that crushes me!

The higher the barriers that are placed before you and the Love of God ... the taller you must become! The farther they take our God given rights away the faster you must run. Run hard and fast to take hold of what God intended for you! My prayer is that this video will testify to your heart "the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, His power, and the wonders he has done" and will do!

something inside so strong

My Friend, the “something inside so strong” should include communicating to the many faiths and those of no-faith in position of power throughout the world. To help make this world a better place to live, consider the language of science to help explain and prove our fundamental Rights of: Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness are bestowed onto us at conception by the Laws of Nature or “Nature’s God.” Please help the ones in bondage!
