Ginny - Day 3 Hope

Karlyn!  How did chapel go?  I was praying, praying this morning!  Hope it went really well!

S - Behold, days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth. Jeremiah 33:14-15

O - God can handle it.

A - When I first went and looked up the scripture today I accidently went to Jeremiah 13 instead of 33.  this is what it says...

I will dash them against each other, both the fathers and the sons together,” declares the Lord. “I will not show pity nor be sorry nor have compassion so as not to destroy them.” Listen and give heed, do not be haughty, for the Lord has spoken. Jeremiah 13:14-15

After reading it, I thought to myself how I needed to hear that verse because it talked about begin haughty and I'm having some struggles with some co-workers here at the bank.  But I also thought how it really didn't have much to do with Advent.  That's when I realized I was in the wrong chapter.  So I go to chapter 33 and it was just as needed.  There are some ladies that I work with that are very sweet, but they are busy bodies and they like to get together and talk and talk and talk.  I don't join in the talking because I don't want to and I've got work to do, but it has seperated us to the point that they aren't filling me in on things that I need to know.  If we need to bring food for work one day, etc...I'm left out of the loop.  I know I need to still exude love and be happy around them and I want to, but it would also be nice to be able to just cut them off and go about my own business and not include them in on things...the haughty approach...the taking things into my own hands approach.  Jeremiah 33 tells us God will execute justice.  I know in this context he meant a lot more than office drama, but I still claim HE will take care of this situation.  

P - Lord I pray that I would humble myself and serve these women with love.  Let them see Your love and mercy in me.
