A Bumpy Ride

Leave a comment

Fellow Followers of The LORD JESUS CHRIST, stop fretting, grumbling, complaining, and feeding on the media’s idolatry of governmental administrations. Don’t give this Distraction the time of day. 
Instead, give GOD time. Give HIM your attention. Abide in unceasing prayer with Him.
He is worthy of your time, attention, and affection.  
GOD said be sure your sin will find you out and they will. Numbers 32:23

Consider this with me. GOD works with what we give Him. 
GOD established government. Government as GOD established it is good; good and needful. Check out Moses; presently that’s my understanding of where government began. Exodus 18.
Additionally, like it or not GOD decides who sits in government offices.  Romans 13:1; Daniel 2:21; Daniel 4:17

Now back to God works with what we give Him and what He has given us. 
He gave us government. We corrupted it. We have elections. People speak. 
Have the people spoken? Yes and no. 
This present administration (and let’s face it – others before it) is what America earned.
Is that to say all Americans are getting what they deserve? 
I think not; particularly children. 
But know this: the sins of the parents and grandparents and great-grandparents are affecting the children of today.  (Deuteronomy 5:9)

I rest in this: GOD loves me. He loves all my loves (meaning my People).
And sin must be rewarded with what it has earned.
This present administration shall reap a harvest from GOD. Will that harvest be in time to bring people to repentance? I don’t know. 

But I do know no sin slides. 

So what kind of people should we be? 

Not fretters. Not complainers. Not worriers. 

Pray. Trust. Wait. 
And as we wait, speak Scripture. Live Scripture. Love Scripture. Share Scripture.
And wait till GOD does what only He can do.
And what does He do?
One of the infinite, innumerable things He does is appoint leaders to either lead the people to right and tranquil living; or if they will not, He allows the consequences the People have earned to give them opportunities to repent.
Still, the choice to repent or perish is each individual’s to make. 

Such is where we are. 
Can America come back from this? 
I seriously have my doubts BUT GOD will surely forgive each and every American or any other person the world over who will REPENT and turn FROM sin TO HIM.

Will we soon be without this Country we have so greatly enjoyed? 
I don’t know. 

But this I know GOD WILL NEVER FORSAKE HIS OWN.
Hebrews 13:5
But HIS OWN better do some repenting and turning and trusting.
Because the Ride just may get really bumpy moving forward.

I live in this place, in this time, in this Country for such a time as this. That’s what I got from the Text. Esther 4:14 for such a time as this.

Go on do what you do without fear the media says. Without the fear part I know is true. We are not built, wired, born, created – pick your word – to live in fear. Fear is crippling, paralyzing, tormenting, life-robbing – again pick your word.

Fear strikes and grips the soul. Hope moves a soul on from fear. Trust moves a soul on from fear. But from whom or what do we gather this hope? In whom or what do we place our trust? [Trust is a sacred thing – be careful where and in whom you place it.] 

Is there hope for our safety in the capabilities of the US Government? The FBI? Homeland Security? I am grateful for the work they do. I am grateful for their Presence; for their expertise; but that is not enough hope to assuage my fear.  

Trust? For sure. For sure trust in this same composite of fallible humans does not send fear from me. I must go higher. I must find someone infallible to trust to quiet my fear.

And you? What quiets your fear in the wake of the Paris slaughter, ISIS, thousands of refugees for sure containing ISIS terrorists coming to our towns, our cities, our restaurants, our houses of entertainment?

Do we stay home? Hunkered down? Is there enough firepower in our four walls to keep us safe? Gripping, isn’t it? Paralyzing. Isn’t it?

As I see it we have two response choices. One, defiance. Defiance that says I will not stand for this! I will not live in fear. I will carry on my life. I will continue as I have done before; I will go to work (or not as retirement may be), eat and sleep, go to the movies, shop, the same as always. Wonder how long same as always will hold it together for us?

Or two. Two, we can acknowledge and give thanks for the FBI, Homeland Security, all the Entities in place and then look above them to the One Infallible One. The One Who does not miss a detail. The One Who does not miss a sparrow that falls. [Matthew 10:29] And sparrows do fall! That does not mean He does not care. It means the curse of evil is still in place in this place – for now. It means we are called to work with GOD not against Him. Defiance will move us along but not in the safest direction.

So if not defiance, what? Surrender? Surrender to evil? NEVER. NEVER. NEVER!

Rather, surrender to the Lordship of the Infallible One. Does that mean sparrows will cease to fall? No. Not yet.

Surrender to dependence?

Yes. But not just any dependence. Not the dependence that just gives up and says there’s nothing I can do. I’ll just sit here and eat a worm. No!

Here’s truth: The more dependent a soul or a nation becomes on THE INFALLIBLE ONE the more independent that soul, that nation is.

Who is America dependent upon?
Read. Listen. Ask around. Seek the answer.

But more than that. Read. Listen. Ask until you can answer Who am I dependent upon?

The FBI? Homeland Security? Washington? The US Federal Government?

Or The Infallible One?

How’s your fear level now? Got questions? Email me and we’ll talk. I don’t have all the answers. But I have a few that will help. :)

Is it Okay?

Gallery Leave a comment

Is it really okay to not worry over something of which you have no control? Is it really okay to even forget her suffering for a few moments here and there? It just does not seem right to not worry when she is suffering. It just does not seem right to not worry when things COULD go really wrong! But you have prayed. She has prayed. Yet could it really be okay to not worry?

The answer is yes. It really is okay to not worry.

To NOT worry doesn’t say I love her less. It says I love HIM more.

I Peter 5

7 Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.

via 1 Peter 5 KJV;CJB – The elders which are among you I – Bible Gateway.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for conversations within. Thank You for offering comfort; for offering and making a way for us to cast our anxieties from ourselves to You. Thank You for caring for us. I know things could go adversely, even bitterly but they could go well too, even good.  Even so, YOU are GOOD and IN CONTROL so forgive me when I worry. Thank You for conversations that remind me it is okay to trust You instead of worry. Thank You for letting me know I am not betraying her or him or them when I trust You instead of worrying over what is or what could be. And so, ABBA, with all the what is-s and the what could be-s in our collective and individual lives we cast them and we accept the grace to choose to trust You instead of worrying. So for the loss and the potential we trust You; for the needed comfort and healing we trust You; for the means and provisions we trust You.
For Dylan. Kerri. Carol. Donnie. Terri and her family. Jamie. Lance. Adalynn. For their healing-s, for their families’ well-being we trust You. For each collective hurt and need finding his or her way to this page of prayer we trust You. We pray for Israel for peace and protection. For America we pray for revival. We ask You to raise up people, men, women, young men, young women, children to boldly proclaim YOUR TRUTH to set souls free. I ask You for blessings for all Readers and Pray-ers here; for courage and wisdom and strength to be hidden in You so their lives can be seen shining Your glory.
