I’ve been w/out the internet since Thursday!  Talk about suddenly feeling cut-off from the world and out of touch!.  I was without TV (news) for 2 of those days.  All due to having new flooring installed and having to disconnect and move electronics out of the way.  They are finishing today–the workers finished in the two sides of the study last evening so that son, Andy, could come over and help move computer back and set it up.  Yea!

This also reminds me of the times that I “feel” cut-off from the Lord.  Usually because I am told in my mind that I shouldn’t be happy all the time.  That I should really “feel” the grief more and be more depressed and sorrowful.  Last week was like this–a real bummer.  It finally occurred to me that this is a type of spiritual warfare and I was listening to the wrong person. The enemy would like nothing better than for me to be depressed and down in the spirit because when I am, I am not fit for human consumption!  Then I don’t really want to be around other people much less love  them and be willing to meet their needs.  I just want to wallow in the fact that I don’t have anyone to meet mine!

BUT I DO! I do have someone to meet my needs–God has said in Philippians 4:19:  “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”  God is here and loves me and He desires to care for all my needs through Christ.  And that is true whether I feel like it or not.
