I woke up fretting this morning, I fretted all the way to work. I live in Virginia and on a rather active private gun range that is in a rural neighborhood where many neighbors have shown their disdain for our practice of firearms. One neighbor often steps out of his back door and does a mag dump into the woods in protest while we are enjoying our range therapy, and this behavior is increasing. I have been thinking about the times ahead and fretting over them. Fretting that these very neighbors will quickly be reporting me as a danger and will possibly get a red flag law action against me. Well, this morning when I was standing and looking skyward a powerful realization hit me, that I have been excluding all that God has instructed me to follow. I have neglected His most powerful guidance and I had to pray for His forgiveness. I realized that I was being cowardly and that is just not who God made me to be. I have now been rewarded with calmness and clear thinking. I have re-learned that with God all things are possible. I feel renewed. Jesus is my king and to Him alone will I kneel.
God Bless you all and take heart we have God on our side.
