What is God doing right now in this moment of history?
From Genesis to Revelation, He is active in linear history.
His Story.
Whether it is an evil king like King Cyrus of Persia in Ezra
or a good girl in Matthew, who replies to God, His Will Be Done.
He is active, moving in a point of time,
from the Alpha to the Omega,
through good and evil.
He is always Redeeming His People. Fixed moments in time.
And, our God reminds Timothy and me and you:
For this reason---Redemption--- Fan into Flame the Gift of God.
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
What is God doing this very moment?
We have no idea, at times, but yet this we know:
Hold fast to eternal things in the midst of your sorrow and loss.
Hold fast to Him. He is moving in your life today.
‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Repent! Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!...they will be My people and I will be their God."
ReplyDeleteMaybe God let our country be in weak leadership to help us return to Him. I don't know, but it appears to me to be a wonderful opportunity not to put our hope in kings, or false idols but to cast out those idols and seek God alone.
".. fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."
He gives us all we need to pursue Him and share Him with others.
Let us be bold by His Grace!
Please pray with me for Lauren, my middle daughter. She had a seizure Saturday night after almost 3 years of none. I'm asking for healing and for her to turn to Him and call Him Lord over her life. She is doing okay, wasn't injured badly when she fell, and is in good spirits. But fear and lack of independence (she can't drive for 6 months) can cause depression. I would very much appreciate your prayers.
