Hebrews 10:36-37
King James Version
36 For ye have need of patience, that,
after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while,
and he that shall come will come,
and will not tarry.
I know the world's in dire need of comfort these days.
It's as if nothing makes sense anymore.
The chaos, crime, cruelty, needless deaths.
Watching how everyday Iranian people are currently fighting for their freedom, and getting massacred for it, tore at my heart.
Watching how their families chose to sing, and dance, even as they grieved for their loved ones, tore it even further.
Watching, as they waited for help, hoping alongside them, and praying for all oppressed people fill my heart each day.
All of us who have gone through the pain of losing loved ones know grief.
But not many have experienced what many families, in many parts of the world, feel under those brutal circumstances.
This, as whole families, tribes, villages, towns, and cities have suffered terribly, in pursuit of truth, justice, and freedom.
Or of how many believers have perished for their faith.
But it's that very faith in CHRIST that will keep us going.
I, too, have known grief, the past four years.
Save for the GRACE of GOD, I'd have remained shattered.
So I just remind myself what the HOLY SPIRIT taught me:
Ecclesiastes 12:7-9
King James Version
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:
and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
As GOD tasked me to write, my only recourse was to honor my loved ones, and turn to Him to make sense of things:
STRENGTH in the MIDST of GRIEF
With GOD giving me strength through His SPIRIT, this workman managed to write so much more.
These articles helped me get through the tough times, knowing life had to go on, my work had to continue, and to give people comfort as well.
We watchmen are warriors for CHRIST, soldiers in His army.
We have to keep going, and help others along the way, each day
All these articles have been written through the guidance of the TRIUNE GOD, and Scripture -- which all equipped me with strength, soul, and spirit.
These will help you make sense of things, too:
PLUMBING the DEPTHS of our SOUL
How the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD Taught Me
Without the HOLY SPIRIT life is nothing
What the HOLY SPIRIT TAUGHT me
To better understand grief, affliction, the fragility of life, and the ways of GOD, we must remember what He said:
Isaiah 55:8-11
King James Version
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down,
and the snow from heaven,
and returneth not thither,
but watereth the earth,
and maketh it bring forth and bud,
that it may give seed to the sower,
and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be
that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent it.
Remember, too, eternal life -- for believers:
John 3:14-15
King James Version
14 And as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him
should not perish,
but have eternal life.
Therein lies my comfort.
That GOD is in charge.
That everything belongs to Him.
That He gave all power to JESUS.
That He gave His SPIRIT to comfort us.
That He is STEADY.
That He has given His TRUTH.
That only His WORD will remain -- FOREVER.
GOD said so:
Isaiah 40:8
King James Version
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:
but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
JESUS said so:
Matthew 24:35
King James Version
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but my words shall not pass away.
Find your faith in CHRIST.
