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

Vol. 17, No. 9 September 2008

Most people cannot take much more of the politics in America. No one can be trusted and no one wants to tell the truth and get to the facts. We are in some troublesome times and judgment is at the door.
God has been very merciful to us. I really don’t know why He delays, but thank the Lord He does. If only God’s people would take a stand for truth, maybe the tides would turn.
I recently was in my devotions when I came across this verse: Zec 5:4 “I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.”
What is “it”? In verse 3 the Lord tells us it is a curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. The thief and the liar are cursed and it is going to bring them down to nothing. Lord, please help us to speak truth and stop taking from others. When will we have enough? When will we care more about others than about ourselves?
I long to see God’s people prosper not like it is today where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, but rather, when we all have “everything in common.” When this happens people won’t have to work themselves until they drop. The weariness is overwhelming today. It is increasingly difficult to serve the Lord, to worship the Lord, and to give to the Lord because of the mental battles.
Please don’t forget what God’s Word tells us: Heb 6:10-12 “For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. (11) And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: (12) That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

God is Faithful!
