Today certainly is "a given" (for us all) and even when I don't understand, yet know that God is actively working behind the scenes of my life, that alone imparts the true living sense of His word. His strength comes into being and I continue on regardless of how I may feel.
That is my personal experience of help; His help. His enduring uplifting and encouraging power reveals itself practically just when I need it (He knows when I require His loving care even before I'm aware that I do - amazing, isn't it?). THAT in itself, reveals to me His enablement of the details in my life - and how He does lovingly care for me. It's perfectly timed for a moment in my time which assists me in a way that is good but, in a way that I would've never have thought. It turns out for the best and I wouldn't have it any other way!
9pm. now and our 'grandfather clock' is chiming. I love it being time dependable. Does that comment ring a bell? I hadn't planned to write this but wanted to, so I did! I suppose, it goes without saying that God's timing is dependable. Hold the thought.k.

** PEOPLE PROBLEMS ? !! **
My neighbour seemed upset with me. Apparently I had done something that bothered her. WHEN I asked if I had offended her, she responded with a curt "No!" I told her, "I don't want any bad feelings between us. If I've done something to offend you, I apologize." Since then the climate has remained cool.
Someone has said, "The more I get to know the human race, the more I love my dog." Dogs are loyal, dependable, eager to please, and quick to forgive and forget. Don't you wish people were more like that? BUT sometimes no matter how hard we try to have a good relationship with someone, it doesn't work.
The apostle Paul addressed that situation in Romans 12:18. *Notice the phrase "as much as depends on you." He knew that some people problems may never be resolved. It takes two to quarrel; it takes two to reconcile. If you do your part and the problem remains, there is still a plan to follow. Don't harbor resentment or retaliate with the weapon of silence. Work at overcoming evil with good (v.21), and let God work out the problem.
WE need to keep following the steps given in Romans 12:9-21 until our people problems are resolved - but especially if they're not. - DJD
