Hello There once again in the dead fast and middle of the week… The LAST week to be endured before this election cycle closes anyway. Oh – Lord willing – there will be others, but none *Exactly* like this one, let us pray…
We’ve been busy with other things around the old home place… and things to be taken care of besides politics. But it seems it’s like a giant bottom of the sea-squid… the kind that Alfred Hitchcock would be proud of to see hiding in its lair awaiting some three-masted schooner to grasp in its tentacles an slurp it straight down into Davy-Jones locker, crew-cannons and gold doubloons no matter.
After a while it’s like a dream that only ends when you awaken, shaken with cold sweat (I’ve never figured that one out exactly – but those who have experienced it says it will happen if you’re scared enough.) and are wondrously delivered to find the long night is over and with the rising sun – you look forward to a new day. Anyway…. That’s what some have termed the Obama first two years. I’m inclined to the famous lines of a Christian poem… “Even this shall pass away…” Because for those who are trusting the Lord’s good word and instruction from the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit, we stand in far better straights than “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Because there are significant other things to fear… but not if you are putting your trust in the Lord.
Well, if you’re inclined to discount all the evidence in the Bible for its own veracity – and ignore the testimony of hundreds and thousands who have faced the glass in which we see ‘darkly’ – and found the reality of God and HIS creation and testimony – then indeed there will be a time when ‘cold’ sweat turns not only warm… but hot!
I know this may be a point for scoffing by people who have imagined themselves smarter than God. Nonetheless… there are abundant truths around simply awaiting the proud to come to the point of surrender. And there are thousands who have gone before – none have come back to refute God’s truth. I’m happy with the choices the Lord has enabled me to see and make.
May this be a day of encouragement and victory for you too.
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack
