A Good Word For You Today…

It Really Doesn’t Matter With Me Now….

 

One year after I was born a man made a statement to a group of people in Washington, DC… “But it really doesn’t matter with me now, because I’ve been to the mountaintop … I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land” (King, 1968)..

Have you ever said those words silently to yourself about a situation in your life?  ‘it really doesn’t matter with me now’ 

Let me help you here…

–after getting passed over AGAIN for the promotion that you should have received 9 years ago

–after getting frustrated for the last time when your request(s) has been ignored

Or

–when you have decided to stop dragging your feet on the matter and make that next step you should’ve a long time ago did

Did this man give up?  No!

Did he quit?  No

What happened?

I am glad you asked!

He LEARNED that he had finished his race in that particular area of his life.
Sometimes we need to stop crying over the things that have to come to an end in our life.  It may be a:
— Relationship

–Career

Or

–The death of a parent who I knew would die one day, but was shocked when I looked up and could not hear their voice on the phone any more, look them in the face but I could only hear their voice on their answering machine where they once lived..

My prayer is like that of a man who said these words in my Bible about himself when he prayed….

Vindicate (defend) me, LORD, because I have lived with integrity and have trusted in the LORD without wavering.  [Psalm 26:1]
