To Those Who Walk Close ...

This word came to me recently as I was focused soley on our Lord. To those who walk in His Spirit close to His heart, it has meaning and carries reason for great joy ...

The Lord asks:

"How long can a horse go without water? How long can the cattle thirst before they die? Of how much greater worth are my people? I hear the words of the humble. The ground is parched and fallow. It lies cracked and abandoned in my fury. But for the sake of those who cry out to me in honest spirit, comes the rain."


"Let it fall upon the Godly and the wicked alike in the hope of their resurrection. Let those who walk in my spirit now dance for joy in the rain of my spirit. I will honor their courage in the darkness as they honor me in spirit and in truth."


"Even now the skies grow dark with the heaviness of the foretold weight of my spirit. Even now flows the wind warning of its' coming. Let the people of God come out from their houses in anticipation. Let the weary look up and take courage, for I hear the words of the humble. I am not hard hearted toward the children I cherish. My heart breaks at their suffering."


"Let the thirsty drink to their fill and not be ashamed. Let those who lie near death be refreshed and receive life from it. Let the scattered faithful rejoice for my name shall be raised again among them and I will bring them together in my spirit to be strong against the desolation of the earth. They will gain strength to defeat the lion who devours and not be conquered. But their strength will be my spirit, their victory will be at my hand. I hear the words of the humble, so comes the rain."

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

Pure Religion

I've struggled with the term "religion" for a long time because it has come to carry a connotation for me of something orchestrated, institutional - a perfunctory exercise. My preference instead has been to highlight my belief that what our God desires from us is instead "relationship". Then I ran across this and I had to pause... "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you." James 1:27 (NLT) " Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world ." James 1:27 (KJ) It doesn't matter the translation, it appears the same. And in it I denote a familiar spirit. I recognize it from scripture after scripture dealing with the care of, and justice for, the widows and the fatherless... "Sing to God, sing praises to His name;...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...
