This verse was penned to the Nation of Israel before they entered the Land He promised them.
Deuteronomy 4:7 For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the Lord our God [is to us] whenever we call on Him? source
Yet today as the Church of the Living Christ can we not appropriate it? Will you call on Him today with me for this Nation that we may again take Him as our GOD?
Abba, thank You for another morning; a day we get to greet with You, to listen and discern that You love us and nothing comes our way today without Your power to overcome. Or on the lighter side to enjoy and find holy fun in family, friends and Your creation. Thank You that not one of our sufferings goes unnoticed; not one of our anxious moments is taken lightly and sluffed off by You as frivolous and beneath Your watch-care. Thank You Holy Spirit for administering within us all we need to succeed today for Your glory. You know better than we the sins and consequences of the people of this world, we ask for Your mercy and the gifts of repentance to be lavished on us in JESUS name. So be it, for now, ~ ~ ~
I saw a tweet. I saw a post. And to me both were inflammatory; yet, I think they were not meant to be. We the People are inflamed and we need no more fuel for the fire. Racism. It sells. It promotes. It hurts. It kills. And it is totally curable.
Abba, I pray for every person of every color and shade in this Country that is contributing to racism that You will confront them, convict them, and convince them to repent of this sin. It seems to me, and You know I want You to correct me every time I am wrong about anything, that racism has been with us too long. And it seems to me that what we humans have been doing is obviously not working to cool the flame. I see nothing on the human horizon that will douse the red hot tempers we witness nearly daily on media screens. But I have seen Your Ways and they work. Every time. You deliver people from racism. I have seen You do it. And it is so good! I want to see more. So I am asking You to make a way; open doors for us to do this thing Your way. This I know, Abba, You are the only way to heal a soul and cure them of racism and that is what I am asking You to do; one by one get all up in our mess, our business, our families, and our friends and heal us I pray in JESUS’ Holy and Mighty Name.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
