16 I also noticed that under the sun there is evil in the courtroom. Yes, even the courts of law are corrupt! 17 I said to myself, “In due season God will judge everyone, both good and bad, for all their deeds.” (Eccl. 3:16-17 NLT)
So last night Cherilyn and I sat down together and opened the letter from the St. Louis County Courts, and to our utter shock, the judge ruled in favor of the people that mishandled our vehicle, returned it to us mechanically destroyed, and then after we had to come to court twice (the defendant didn't show up the first time), and pay for summons/sheriffs to reach the defendant.....they charged us, YES CHARGED US $63 in court costs. Now if there was ever a time I/we felt robbed......last night was it, but no sooner than we were shook about this.....A friend of Cherilyn's is facing the reality that her father is going to die. I'm praying for other's with a sick parent, some traveling, and other prayer requests....that force me into this belief that despite the state of current affairs.......GOD IS STILL GOOD. Our van will get fixed......but our friends & family members who are experiencing the pangs of life & death....will need our prayers and support.
The reality is, if we are all honest.....WE ARE ALL GOING THROUGH SOMETHING, and whether they rule in our favor, we have to remember GOD's promises to never leave us or forsake us is true. That HE WILL PROVIDE. That there is a day of judgement coming where EVERY WRONG will be vindicated. THAT THIS IS THE DAY THAT HE IS MADE, and I CHOOSE ....WE CHOOSE (despite emails, judgements, workings of the enemy, etc) to rejoice, YES REJOICE! I thank each of you for praying for Cherilyn and I regarding this court case, during the transitions at our beloved church, and just because....your prayers have given us the PEACE & JOY of the LORD so that we can focus on LOVING GOD & LOVING PEOPLE! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND and this concludes my BLOG A TIME FOR! LGLP
