As we peer through the microscope of the present, looking for any sign of governmental resolution and the hunger situation. Or as we peer into the future, searching for a telescope that can tell us of better things. There is always one thing that is unchanging and this is the love of God towards men. It was while “…we were still sinners that Christ died for us.” The greatest to the least of us are equal in His eyes. Actually the least will be the greatest in His kindgom. King Solomon thinks back on his life and muses on the brevity of it. Our lives are like a breath, and as a flower that rises into its bloom, but very quickly fades as the sun. Even Solomon in all his glory is but a memory of the greatest of kings that ruled the earth. Yes, we are but dust. Our Lord and creator far outspans the extents of this universe. Nothing is a secret to Him, or hidden to Him, yet as we embrace the fullness of His love, we discover that He encompasses all and He never fails us.
Stacey, my wife had very simply and correctly pointed out to me that our hope lies in the Lord not in the merging situation of the government. Think on that a minute. Where is your hope today?
I sense the Lord saying to us:
“Arise, shine for your light has come. As you continue to see things fall around you, realize that I Am the author and finisher of your faith . You shall never fall when grafted into Me; the vine. My roots run deep, beyond the economy of your country, and beyond the politics of your region. My economy is vast and plentiful. It favours you and is extended towards you. My economy does not live in the hands of men or government but superceedes that and goes beyond. It is not affect by, or changed by the natural disasters; by political fears or by impasses in your nation. It never changes and is always extended to those who love Me. Draw from My bank account today. Draw for love, draw for peace. Draw for your finanical and economic properity. Draw for relationship and peace with your fellow man. The deep things of God far exceed those important to man. Trust Me in the deep things of your life and see that you will never fail. Make Me the captain of your ship. You do not know where you are going, but so often you try to take control. Why? You do not have the map! I have it and I will safely guide you to safe harbours and a place of refuge in your lives and the nations at large.
“There are many angels encamped around the dwelling of the righteous. No one shall pluck the righteous out of My hands. They are secure in Me. Seek peace with your fellow man. Seek peace with your government. Lift them up every day in prayer and stand in the gap for them and their salvations’. I love them just as much as I love you. They hold the keys in their hands, pray that they may have wisdom and truth to know how best to use them. Zimbabwe can unlock the southern regions if her keys are used correctly. Pray for this wisdom today.”
We thank You Lord for your word of hope to us. We know You will never fail or forsake us. We praise and glorify your wonderful name and announce you as our Champion and King. We ask for forgiveness of our sins and pray, “Lord forgive those who have offended us too”. Amen
Blessings in the Lord, Friends.
