Judgment on our Land

Dear readers,

Today I am impressed with the upcoming judgment of our land. God's words says

Now I will rise, says the Lord;
Now I will be exalted,
Now I will lift Myself up.

Isaiah 33:10

How can God allow such pain and suffering in our land today? It is a choice that he has given us. You see, in order for us to have free will, he needed to make it so that we would be given over the reigns to our lives in entirety. This autonomy was bestowed upon every man, woman, and child that is born of this earth. In return, our greatest gift to our Lord, will be when we can lay down the autonomy that was gifted to us and place the rule back into the hands of our loving creator.

Only by coming to true surrender to him, by giving him the reigns of our hearts, can we enable him to move on our behalf. Even, then, we sometimes find that he doesn't move on our behalf, but brothers and sisters, I assure you that he does. Even in the midst of trials and calamities, he is there. He is still ever present and ever protecting. However, he sees the bigger picture. Only he knows our hearts and what we are capable of. Only he can allow the pain and suffering that his chosen ones endure to bring us through to his perfect plan and purpose for his glory.


I know it is so hard to understand why we or our loved ones are suffering, but be assured that God is moving and working for us, his beloved church, his beloved people of all creation who he died for to reconcile us all to himself.

Whether you acknowledge this unending, unconditional love, is your choice.

The sinners in Zion are afraid
Fearfulness has seized the hyprocitres;
Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings:
He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
He who despises the gain of oppressions,
Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
And shuts his eyes from seeing evil:
He will dwell on high;
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

Isaiah 33:14 - 16
