A few weeks ago  I mentioned my ticket for “failure to move over.”  I had debated whether to go to court or just pay the fine and prior to the recent tension concerning the various shootings, I had planned to go to court.  On Monday, I changed my mind and decided I would just pay the ticket only to get to the website and find out that this ticket requires me to make a “mandatory court appearance.”

All week in the midst of other life issues, I’ve had to think of all the probabilities this court appearance could bring-there’s been shootings, even in the court house.  Perhaps a hug would comfort my immediate anxieties but the word of God is what seals it for me. A friend dealing with her own life issues shared this word with me and it was right on time. “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”- Exodus 14:14

Thanks be to God, the righteous judge is still alive and on the throne.  I know the sentence and penalty I deserve.  I also know He’s already taken care of it for me!  In the end, He will come to judge all things.  Sometimes it looks like the enemy is gaining-but so much of life has become “what it looks like.”

I’m so happy today that my seat in heaven is secure.  I’m not worried about anything. I am ready for my mandatory court appearance.  I pray that you are too!
