We all need encouragement; we all need to be reminded… from the least of us to the greatest. We tend to forget that it is the Creator God who is in charge, not us. We have our responsibilities, don’t get me wrong, but it is not all on our shoulders to turn this ship around. We do our part….we do what the LORD has given us to do. And we TRUST in HIM! As usual, the pastor down the road put it well…
From the pastor down the road…
“O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. (2) Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. (3) Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment… (11) Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Psalms 60:1-3, 11
“Perhaps at the moment many of God’s children feel as King David did in this Psalm. “Oh God, we are cast off; we’re scattered; You have been displeased. You have made the earth to tremble and have broken it. You have showed us, Your people, hard things. You have made us to drink the wine of astonishment. Lord, turn Yourself again to us and heal the breaches. Give us help from trouble – for vain is the help of man”.
“I believe sometimes the people of God get too caught up in “why” and lose focus of the “what”. That is, instead of trying to figure out why all of these insane and unjust things are happening in the world; perhaps we ought to rather be looking at what we ought to do.
“”Oh God… give us help from trouble – for vain is the help of man”.
“Have we figured this out yet? Have we come to this place yet? I’m not sure we have. While more and more people are waking up to the fraud of man-made scamdemics; big pharma poison pricks; election thefts; injustice; lawfare; needless wars; climate alarmism; geo-engineering; open borders and all the rest of the globalists’ plans of a New World Order – this is not resulting in massive revival. This is not being followed by humility, mourning, brokenness, repentance and turning to Jesus with all the heart. Not that it is not happening on an individual basis; but it is not happening on any large scale.
“Rather, what we see (in general) in those who are awakening is a renewed patriotism and focus on political solutions. The problem is, there is no political solution to a spiritual problem. There is no voting our way out of a degenerate death spiral. I’m not saying don’t vote (I will be); but only that voting is going to do little to change anything. It’s kind of like putting band-aids on the cuts a demon-possessed person is inflicting upon themselves. Until spiritually treated, physical treatment won’t amount to much.
“What has been set in motion will not be reversed by a new guy in office. God’s people need to be ready physically, mentally and – most importantly – spiritually, for harder times than we’ve ever known – no matter who wins elections. Not trying to be doom & gloom, but just honest concerning the writing on the wall.
“(Ps. 60:12) “Through God we shall do valiantly: for He it is that shall tread down our enemies.” Don’t hope in man, for it is vain (worthless) to do so (Ps 108:12, 124:1-3, 146:3). Unless The Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build (Ps 127:1). Our focus must be on Him. No one is coming to save us, but Jesus. Calvary is the cavalry. Get right with Jesus. Pray to Him; seek Him; hope in Him. He is where our help comes from (Ps 121:1-2).”
