Insights from a Glory-Bound Lady”

Selected Notes
Volume 2 Number 47 “I Wonder What She Was Preparing?” Part Five
November 20th, 2019

Often I held it in my hands as I moved it out of the way. It is a small folded piece of yellow scrap paper on which Karen wrote preliminary thoughts for an upcoming event. I don’t know what the event was for which she was studying. She was focusing on Psalm 37 and using a little piece of lined yellow paper to write some very brief thoughts. The response so far has been the greatest since starting the Karen’s Notes series two years ago. I think it is because so many can identify with what she was writing because of what they are going through. I’m glad that I finally opened this little piece of folded paper!

Here is the text she was beginning to study through. “Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass” (Psalm 37:3-5).

This little yellow piece of paper is a treasure (not an idol, but a treasure!) In her own handwriting she jotted a few brief notes, drew some pictures as she doodled, and starred some things she wanted to emphasize. Today’s final posting from this little paper is the asterisks she drew and the words in red ink that she wrote relating to problems.

Karen wrote:
1. Trusting (v. 3). *I believe God can answer my problems.
2. Delighting (v.4). *I believe God will answer my problems.
3. Committing (v.5). *I bring my problem to Him.
4. Resting and waiting patiently for Him (v.7). *I leave my problems with Him.

Michael’s observations: God’s Word is so powerful and practical. It is so profound that it is so simple and so simple that it is profound. These are the four things that I need to do regularly and consistently. How about you?
