Why do the voices of anarchy and animosity appear to be the loudest? Where are those that cry out for righteousness? Where are those that will take a stand in the midst of confusion and crisis declaring The Word of Truth? Where are the preachers of righteousness, those that will speak out and declare; “if I perish I perish, but as for me and my house we will serve the LORD?” I have wondered, I have waited, I have wept and I have prayed. I have done all these things, yet in my heart I understand what must be and trust in the goodness of my God.
“In a way I wish I could take to heaven my old, tattered Everest and Jennings wheelchair. I would point to the empty seat and say, “Lord, for decades I was paralyzed in this chair. But it showed me how paralyzed You must have felt to be nailed to Your Cross. My limitations taught me something about the limitations You endured when You laid aside your robes of state and put on the indignity of human flesh.”At that point, with my strong and glorified body, I might sit in it, rub the armrests with my hands, look up at Jesus, and add, The weaker I felt in this chair, the harder I leaned on You. And the harder I leaned, the more I discovered how strong You are. Thank you, Jesus for learning obedience in your suffering…You gave me grace to learn obedience in mine ~Joni Eareckson Tada
“Desire to inspire, dare to declare and believe for the impossible. This is the way of My heart, the way of My hope. This is the way My children walk this journey of life. None falter who keep their eyes on Me. Lean into Me, allow Me to carry those cares for you. Much you will not understand...but God. Keep your heart and mind stayed on Me. Keep looking up and not out. When you face opposition, stand in faith without wavering and trust in Me.
Times of refreshing are coming for My people. Times ordained from the beginning. There will be showers of blessings poured out over many nations. My plans are for good, not harm and to give hope and a future. Many will see, many will believe, then the end will come. Use the time you are given wisely. Do not squander what blessings come from My hand.”
The LORD’ lovingkindness never ceases, His compassion's never fail. They are new every morning, great is Your faithfulness.
Be assured that what God has promised He is able to perform!!
