THE CROSS

“But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land,

Numbers 33:55

Intr.:

those you allow to remain

A.  will become barbs in your eyes and

B.  thorns in your sides.

C.  They will give you trouble in the land where you will live.

End:

And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.”

“If you have success, give the glory to God. But if you feel you have failed, don’t give up!”

That is written on the placard displayed in our spare room as a reminder. It is beautifully done by my father in law. I heard the advice for the first time  when a principal of a Bible college spoke to his graduates.

“If you have success …”

And it was only yesterday that I was reminded again of those words.

I was out in town trying to take a picture of a certain street sign. While taking the picture difficulties presented itself and I gave up thinking nothing good is coming out of this undertaking.

But when arriving at home and looking at the images I was really surprised that two images were so to speak to my satisfaction and I used one for my purposes.

Now I am glad that I looked at the images before deleting them and I thank the Lord for helping  me under difficult circumstances.
