The PATIENT child

 

2 Chronicles 20:17

King James Version

17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: 

set yourselves, stand ye still, 

and see the salvation of the Lord with you, 

O Judah and Jerusalem: 

fear not, nor be dismayed; 

to morrow go out against them: 

for the Lord will be with you.

Would you quit, if you encountered setbacks?

Would you be discouraged?

Would you give up?

Well, I couldn't.

And wouldn't want to.

Despite another persistent glitch.

When SPIRIT and I started this blog on 8 October, we encountered a spirit attack, and some technical glitches.

On the 12th, laptop finally conked out.

Couldn't get it to work.

So off it went to a technician.

Got it reformatted, and all.

Eager to get back to this blog, another glitch occurred.

Since the laptop got reformatted, all saved items got lost.

Had to do everything again with email and everything.

Experienced setbacks in logging in.

Email provider promised to have it up and running in 48 hours.

Which they kindly did today.

Now, I can finally get back to this blog.

Last post was 12 October.

Today's 16 October.

That means blog got delayed another four days.

I tell ya, there's something about the number FOUR.

But I'm not a whiner.

Being born again helps in many ways.

SPIRIT taught me to be patient.

He taught me to work on other things.

In the process, we created another blog.

The 93rd, in fact.

It's still in the works.

We've written 16 articles in two days.

But we're not ready to share the blog -- just yet.

Needs a little more fine tuning.

And a little more thought.

Just to be sure.

We're just happy to be back working on this 92nd blog.

Back to sharing GOD's WORD with you.

Glitches may come, glitches may go.

Challenges may come, challenges may go.

Delays may come, delays may go.

But working with SPIRIT gives you spirit.

You keep at it.

That's what being born again means.

That's what serving the LORD means.

That's what serving you means.

We simply don't give up.

We're the persistent rhino, remember?

We've got a childlike heart.

A child pursues something she believes in.

We're that child.

So, on to the posts!

P.S.

Oh, a few good things about the repair.

Laptop's faster, brighter, clearer.

GOD's giving me all the help I need!

For the born again, everything is by GOD's design.

Delays, glitches, and all.
