Good morning and happy Friday, it is 69 degrees out this morning and the wind is howling like a rapid dog, the skies are a hazy blue, not clouds at all and the sun is shine, shine, shining! I once again slept later than usual, I don't know if it is 50 year old thing or not, but seems since I hit the big 50 my sleep patterns have been in disarray! So I apologize for getting my blog up and running so late but I pray that the message that it contains will have been worth the wait for the one who's heart will be comforted by it this day!
I was made aware of the high pressure cell that has come in and moved the chance of rain out of Texas this morning, in the posts that have been written I could feel a sense of "give up" of "lack of faith" and "gloom and doom" I see that the areas so affected by the fires have no forecast for rain in sight! In looking at the weather channel I see where you might be becoming discouraged! We must not lay down, we must not give up, we must not relent! We must have more faith now than we ever have, we must stand in unity and pray, we must envision the rains falling and the fires being put out, we must BELIEVE! This is a huge time for all of us right now, this is a great test of faith! I know it is difficult as you sit hour after hour watching the fires march as if going to war your lands being the emeny....but....you can't just lay down, you have to hold fast to your faith and you have to know that God is right there with you, that he is going to open the heavens and he is going to let it rain! Let us stand together, let us pray fervently and then let God take over! Psalm 91:4-6 He will cover you with his wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you. You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight. (GNT)
Now is the time for us to have ultimate faith, with our nation's capital being threatened with more terroristic threats for the weekend, with the weather having such devastating effects upon our lands, with the government in such disarray, WE MUST PRAY, WE MUST PRAY, WE MUST PRAY! Don't sit and think that so many are praying that you do not need to! He wants to hear from each and every one of us, he is calling for faith, true unconditional faith! If you know someone who is not praying, if you know someone who is uncomfortable in prayer, call upon them and ask them to pray with you, you lead the words that come with difficulty to others and have them pray with you!
Join me now if you will and let us pray many times today for a MIRACLE! We have all seen miracles, we have personal testimonies of the great and wonderful things God has done...let us BELIEVE that he has a miracle in store for the lands of Texas!
praying, praying, praying for all of my Texas friends, I know it seems hopeless and that the "calm" seems so far away! I know that God has a plan and soon the rains will fall upon the lands and the rebuild will begin! One thing I am seeing in this tragedy is the vast amount of people that are coming together in unity to pray, the vast amount of people who otherwise would never have opened their hearts, their homes and their pocketbooks to give to those who are in need! There is a silver lining in even the most ugly of storms...9-11 brought us so much closer as a country, so much compassion and love developed, we as a nation began to get back what was important and realize what was our country needs! When hurricane Katrina hit, the entire country came together in support of those in need, the same with all of the other tragedies that have happened, tornado ridden states, the east coast...etc.!!! We are no doubt pleasing him in laying down our greedy ways and giving...I know that he will bless each and every one abundantly, many times in life only good things come when the storm has waned! Keep your faith, keep on praying and never let the adversary be victorious! Better days are coming and it will be glorious!
Father God we stand with our arms outstretched asking you to show us the way, we stand erect, our heads tilted to the "son" waiting and watching to see the glorious and wonderful blessings you have in store for us, we are tired God, so weary of the battle but we shall never lay down our faith, we shall never surrender our beliefs and we shall never look another direction! We have seen the miracles you allow and we look to you for a resolve to the fires in Texas. Father please open the heavens to us and allow the rains to fall in abundance, allow our lands to be once again nourished and a renewal begin! We love you God and we know that your will be done! In Jesus name I ask these blessings, amen and amen again!
