“That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving...” Psalm 26:7

Vol. 15, No. 3 March 2006

“These  are the days of Elijah, declaring the Word of the Lord. And these are the days of your servant, Moses, righteousness being restored. 

And though these are the days of great trials, of famine and darkness and sword. Still we are the voice in the desert, crying ‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord.’”

The Lord is coming again and again and again to a people who are prepared.  I don’t believe anyone knew it would be this way.  We have days of triumph and days of defeat.  We have days of trials and days of rest.  The good, the bad, the glory and the evil are all coming to maturity.  As our thoughts go crazy from time to time, we feel like we are losing our sanity.  But God is pulling in the reigns, tightening up on the movement of His people.  We are not to get away with anything any longer.  It is all about Him.  Everything we do and say is about Him.  We think we have wasted our time or our talents, but it is about Him.  We look like failures often, but it is about Him.  Nothing is being wasted and nothing is futile as long as we acknowledge Him through it all.

We are truly destined for greatness.  But before the greatness comes, we must be brought low, to nothing, even to emptiness and barrenness if need be so that the Spirit of Christ can fill us with all the fullness of Christ and Christ alone. 

Sometimes the pain and suffering are insurmountable but He is gracious, continually full of compassion and mercy. 

Go to Him today by the blood of the Lamb.  With a bold heart and tell Him, being honest about what you experience, and allow Him to soothe your troubles and bring rest to your soul and encourage you to press into the glory that awaits all who will know Him.

“Behold He comes, Riding on the clouds. Shining like the sun, at the trumpets call. So lift your voice. It's the year of jubilee. And out of Zion's hill salvation comes.”

In Christ,

Pr. Steve
