I have a God shaped hole in my neck from a seizure after I had a run in with someone wanting to lie about something that truly happened and I let anger about the lie land me on the floor and in a situation I never wanted to be in. This seizure landed me on the floor where my husband found me laying. I put myself in a situation, I never should of put myself in. I should of just gave it to God and moved on. Who knew! God gave us this extra air hole to live. Many people have had Trachea large membranous tube reinforced by rings of cartilage, extending from the larynx to the bronchial tubes and conveying air to and from the lungs; the windpipe. So that they can breathe again. God knew what He was doing when He made us. When I look back at all I have gone through. God has been with me all along. I have seen friends, who have gone through a tracheostomy surgery and they have passed on to heaven because their lungs was not strong enough. I wake up with a headache some mornings, only to realize after I clean my trach that it caused the headache. No one caused me to be angry and try to fix someone else who had their own agenda. I in the beginning should of given that situation to God and not been angry. I probably wouldn’t have this hole in my neck today. God has His way of letting us know He will never leave us and we need to just heed to Him in everything. Amen!
The “God-shaped hole” is the innate longing of the human heart for something outside itself, something transcendent, something “other.” {Ecclesiastes 3:11:He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.} refers to God’s placing of “eternity in man’s heart.” God made humanity for His eternal purpose, and only God can fulfill our desire for eternity.
“The yoke is that used by two oxen to pull a heavy load.
Why did God put a yoke around Moses’ neck?
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery. Now therefore why tempt you God, to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? Why. Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink.
Matthew 11:28-30 NIV It reads:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1-22:
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he labored? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requires that which is past. And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
Yesterday as I was leaving church. I saw this The red cardinal bird: They symbolize the phases of restoring when going through great difficulties with greater hope in God. The red cardinal birds viewed as the symbols of keeping faith irrespective of the tough times, which comes through in our life. They remind us to glue with the Lord even in times of despair. I have always loved these birds. I like taking their pictures. Then I saw a rabbit eating out of the grass took his picture. It was so peaceful.
