Biblical Prophecy is Being Fulfilled Daily
In these extremely difficult times where biblical prophecy is being fulfilled daily, people are facing issues of all kinds. Some of us are going through things that we never dreamed imaginable. Some are just a paycheck away from being homeless. Lately, I have driven through exclusive lakefront communities and passed by expensive homes with for sale signs in their front yards. Some of these people are losing their homes and selling all of their possessions. I know this is happening because I have walked through some of these homes and visited their sales and they have shared some of their problems with me. From the rich to the poor, from Wall Street to tent cities, not many are excluded.
Problems Are Coming at Us Fast
Problems are coming at us at with such force and speed that sometimes we can barely get past one problem before another one comes knocking at our door. With each blow it can finally build up to the point where we fall to the ground and we feel as if we just cannot get back up. This is time when we need to muster up every bit of courage and strength we have left and pick ourselves up. We must rise out of any pit we may have fallen into and if we see our friend in the pit we should throw them a lifeline and help them out if we are able.
Successful People Are Resilient and Stand Back Up After Failure
Blow by blow, whether it be losing your job, cutbacks in your income, losing your home, losing your car, divorce, the death of a loved one, with each blow it causes a snowball effect to where the problem seems impossible and the situation appears hopeless. Let's face it, when you have lost your job, your car and the value of your home is not even equal to what you owe on it ---- it will affect you in some way. This is when we do have to humble ourselves and turn toward God and trust in Him. We cannot though, just sit or lie down and expect our help to magically appear out of the sky.
We will have to be resilient and resourceful and do the best that we can with what God has given us. Surveys tell us that the most successful people have all experienced failure, but that the most common quality among them is being resilient and resourceful. With each failure, they always get back up. We need to Stand spiritually...some of us may not be able to stand physically, but just like I heard from a quote once, the little boy that could not walk said, "I'm standing up in my heart."
God Will Take Care of Us
He says in His word that we are not to worry about what we should eat or what we should wear because God even takes care of the sparrows and if He takes care of the sparrows then surely He will take care of us.
Dueteronomy 5:31
But as for you, stand here by Me, and I will speak to you all the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which you shall teach them, that they may observe them in the land which I am giving them to possess.'
Dueteronomy 7:24
And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you will destroy their name from under heaven; no one shall be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them.
Let Us Rise Up
With each blow that the enemy throws our way, Let Us Rise Up, Let Us Stand and We Will See the Salvation of the Lord.
Let us turn our hearts toward God where our redemption and provision lies. Let us STAND ON HIS PROMISES
No matter what you are facing and no matter what is coming against you, there is always HOPE in GOD. Your future may look bleak, but God says, I know the plans I have for you. Plans to give you a hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
Jesus is Our Wonderful Counselor
Let us keep going forward and let us not look back and let us forget the bad things of the past because through it all, our God has good plans for our lives. We need to stand up in our hearts just like the little boy who could not walk and look toward our Lord and Our Savoir, Our Wonderful Counselor. Let us look to Jesus.
God bless you,
