Trey Tuesday - November 5, 2013

Would You Rather...

Have you ever played that game? It goes something like this...

Would You Rather...eat dirt or kiss a worm?

Would You Rather...have a large order of fries or an order of large fries?
Would You Rather...go to the beach or to the mountains?
Would You Rather...have tax breaks for millionaires or...oh sorry, who let government issues into our game!?!  :)

Don't you feel like we play this game with God?
Dear God, I would rather have a flat tire than root canal.
Dear God, I would rather lose my car keys than lose my job.

Dear God, I would rather Trey not have cancer.  period.

This Election Day we get to go to the polls to vote our preference.

It doesn't work that way with God.

It's not a game of Would You Rather, but a life of Faith and Trust.

So this Trey Tuesday, let's set our agendas aside and wholeheartedly believe in God!  :)

Have faith in His promise to never, ever leave Trey or forsake him or Jay or Rachel or any of us!  :)

Trust that God really, truly has a good and perfect plan for Trey!  :)

And PLEASE keep praying for Trey to be healed!  :)
And for a treatment plan that protects Trey's quality of life!  :)
And for Jay and Rachel to continue to receive God's peace and wisdom!  :)

And for Joe and Bella to be secure in their parents' love and provision, as well as that of so many around them!  :)

And for us all to believe enough to sing:

"Bless the LORD, O my soul,
            And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul,
            And forget none of His benefits;
Who pardons all your iniquities,
            Who heals all your diseases;
Who redeems your life from the pit,
            Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
Who satisfies your years with good things,
            So that your youth is renewed like the eagle...
Bless the LORD, O my soul!"
Psalm 103:1-5, 22
