As I ponder on the words of my Lord and Savior I remember the story of Jesus Christ of Nazareth whereby He was rejected by man given a crown of thorns, to the cross, out of the tomb and risen to wear the King of Kings crown once again. Sound the shofar for the Day is soon at hand!
"If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh." John 6:51
Perhaps that offends some but to me these words are life ever after. I live by faith in Him who has risen and ascended but one day will return for His Bride, spotless and Holy will she be. Until that day there is much to do. We must move forward as the Army of God until we can adorn the robes of righteousness! We have much to do for the harvest is ripened and the laborers are few! Get to plowing through the things of this world that block your ability to do Kingdom work, laying all flesh and sin aside and run the race as if it will be your last, for one never knows it may be.
"Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? The Prophet Jeremiah asks of the LORD in Jeremiah 12:1. And the LORD in all HIS graciousness responds with "If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?"
If you are in a place to be inclined to grumble then allow yourself to enter into these words above, ponder them within your deepest soul and then remember not to grow weary in doing good for in due season you will reap a harvest, if you do not give up! [Gal 6:9]. Dig deep within yourself and put your energy into the Holy Spirit's as He will give you all you will need to continue to run ahead. He will tell you which way to go and whether to rest or sprint, but remember the only striving you have to do is that which will cause you to enter into His rest, the rest will be in the strength of the Jesus.
When you are called to plant, plant. When you are called to water, water. And when you are called to harvest, harvest! To everything there is a season,A time for every purpose under heaven:.... A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; Ecc 3:1,3
Now is the time for you to know what season you are in, look up towards the heavens and there you will find the One who has the answers. Ask God, He will respond and He will give you insight on the season He has called you into.
