A friend in need

April 19, 2005

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathise with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way - yet was without sin.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (Heb 4:15-16)

Weaknesses come in all sorts of different ways. I’ve realised one thing. Sleeping late makes me less able to deal with the bombardment at work. Suddenly, things that I could handle yesterday are blown out of proportion today. Things I didn’t feel were important to me yesterday can make my mood hit an all time low of zero degrees today.

Sleep. I need to sleep properly. I’m as lethargic as a mealworm right now. At the rate I’m yawning, I could have caught quite a few flies already.

Besides the fatigue, I was confronted once again with a potential change to come. This isn’t the first time that its been “shared” to me, but hearing it again is making me jittery. If it DOES come to pass, it means that I will have to make certain changes to my life. As it is, I am very happy with how life is now and I don’t want it to change really. However, it seems that events have been happening to set the stage for it.

If this DOES happen, it will mean that a dream I have carefully stored away in cold storage can now be unwrapped and shown to the world - but it will be at the expense of a lot.

I am glad that I have had the opportunity to hear/read the above verse within this past 2 days. It’s as if God empathises …. but what am I talking about???He does! He knows exactly what I’m feeling!

Talking to a friend last night. We so totally agreed that the Word of God just appears at the right moment to the right need.
