perfect peace in the storm

You will keep the mind that is dependent on You in perfect peace, for it is trusting in You.Isaiah 26:3 HCSB
https://bible.com/bible/72/isa.26.3.HCSB

Chapter 26 in Isaiah is about the city of salvation and the righteous who dwell in it. Verse 12 says; Lord you will establish peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us. 
Now we know we still work, but we do not need to work for salvation, it is a free gift from God.
Verse 19b, awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust, for you will be covered with the morning dew.

Verses 20, 21 talk of the retun of the Lord to bring judgement on the earth. God's people are told to enter their rooms and close the door behind them, hide for a little while until the wrath is passed. (I can do that!)

So, back to peace. We are in troublesome times. The world continues to make decisions about ending the lives of the unborn and the sick, it allows doctrines of demons into the schools and vilifies those who speak truth. Consequently, with each decision another wheel falls off. As the tennents of God are removed from societies, darkness moves in to replace it. The darkness is the destroyer. It is aiming to destroy the godly, the young and the elderly. Those in between will be ravaged by disease. Darkness is not a good master.

For those who trust in the Lord and cling to Him, He will keep them in peace. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
