to study the names of God has always been my most favorite thing to do. A friend has given me a prayer book with 85 names of God - 85 - wow - and each one is more wonderful and more encouraging and more uplifting than the one before. I mention it because I believe it is what has made these last doldrums only last a couple of days rather than weeks. So back on top of my circumstances and loving life and the Lord as I should each day and thanking the Lord in every minute of it - I share El Emunah - The Faithful God - "your faithfulness convinces me that nothing can ever separate me from Your love. I praise you, El Emunah, for the faithfulness that you revealed in writing and recording your Word for my instruction so that through endurance and the encouragment of your Scriptures, I might have hope," excerpted from PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD by Tony Evans.
One can not stay down or in doldrums when we truly believe that God is faithful even when we are not and that He loves us even when we are unloveable. To know and study God's Word on a daily basis or as close to that as possible is going to bring home to our hearts and mind all the TRUTH we are ever going to need to know.
Romans 8:38-39 is the source for knowing God loves us no matter what - "For I am convinced (am I really - I don't think so - certainly not when I let 'doldrums' get the best of me) that neither death, nor life (whether it's going good or bad or worse), nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created things, shall be able to separate us fromk the love of God, which is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD."
Oh that I would believe it, remember it and live it out before my circle of influence each and every day. I pray I pray.
