Monday Thoughts

I was listening to a sermon this morning and they read Micah 7:16 about our enemies being awed by God.  God is for us.  Anything that weighs us down (even worry, anxiety, impatience) is only momentary, we just have to wait for God and He will bring victory, we are his kids and He wants to be our protector, our warrior. I think my biggest enemy is the things in my head and I believe God will crush those things tangibly like our enemies. I loved all of these verses and hope that you do too:   But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD,        I wait for God my Savior;        my God will hear me.  8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy!        Though I have fallen, I will rise.        Though I sit in darkness,        the LORD will be my light.  9 Because I have sinned against him,        I will bear the LORD's wrath,        until he pleads my case        and establishes my right.        He will bring me out into the light;        I will see his righteousness.  10 Then my enemy will see it        and will be covered with shame,        she who said to me,        "Where is the LORD your God?"        My eyes will see her downfall;        even now she will be trampled underfoot        like mire in the streets.  11 The day for building your walls will come,        the day for extending your boundaries.  12 In that day people will come to you        from Assyria and the cities of Egypt ,        even from Egypt to the Euphrates        and from sea to sea        and from mountain to mountain.  13 The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants,        as the result of their deeds. Prayer and Praise  14 Shepherd your people with your staff,        the flock of your inheritance,        which lives by itself in a forest,        in fertile pasturelands. [a]        Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead        as in days long ago.  15 "As in the days when you came out of Egypt ,        I will show them my wonders."  16 Nations will see and be ashamed,        deprived of all their power.        They will lay their hands on their mouths        and their ears will become deaf.  17 They will lick dust like a snake,        like creatures that crawl on the ground.        They will come trembling out of their dens;        they will turn in fear to the LORD our God        and will be afraid of you.  18 Who is a God like you,        who pardons sin and forgives the transgression        of the remnant of his inheritance?        You do not stay angry forever        but delight to show mercy.  19 You will again have compassion on us;        you will tread our sins underfoot        and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.  20 You will be true to Jacob,        and show mercy to Abraham,        as you pledged on oath to our fathers        in days long ago.
