A HEBREW SAGE MIGHT SAY. . .
CHRIST-like-ones are a privileged people, and this greatly raises the possibilities of our living in tough times.  For we are called to stride through life with a degree of regal bearing, not stumbling, not staggering, but treading over what other people sink under.

BRIGHTENING PATH OF PAIN       
"There is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the LORD, the RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved HIS appearing." [2 Timothy 4. 8]

It is such a blessing to know that the MIGHTY CREATOR makes no mistakes, that our illness is not something that just happened to you.  "Shall the thing framed say to HIM that framed it, HE has no understanding?" [Isaiah (Yeshayah) 29. 6 Tanakh, Nevi'im]   NO! the enduring is yours, without a doubt, but the responsibility for it is entirely HIS, and what a difference that makes!  Nothing can even touch the child of GOD without HIS permissive will.  It is not necessary for us to know the reason, for they are safe with our dear, wonderful OMNIPOTENT CREATOR, "in WHOM are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." [Colossians 2. 3]

Surely the BLESSED MAKER & REDEEMER will also be glad when these trials are all over and HE will no longer have to watch HIS children suffer, when all tears will be wiped from our eyes, and a song put upon our lips.  Until then, cannot we "endure hardship, as a good soldier of CHRIST JESUS" [2 Timothy 2. 3] and spare HIM the sound of our wailing?  Sometimes, LORD  GOD'S response comes in a Still Small Voice, and we must listen in order to hear it.  At other times, we can even feel ourselves resting quietly in HIS mighty hand.

Each day must be lived with expectancy as though it were to be our last, and there is so much to be done, to purify ourselves and set our houses in order.  ALMIGHTY GOD'S mercy is renewed with each new day— "The kindness of the LORD is not ended, HIS mercies are not spent. They are renewed every morning — great is YOUR faithfulness and grace!" [Lamentations (Ekhah) 3. 22 - 23 Tanakh, Kethuvim]

O LORD GOD, YOUR quickening power, YOUR strengthening grace, YOUR mercy LORD is so needed for those who sin and go astray, and those who sorrow.  And, YOU provide cherished rest for those who toil. For this, we thank you freely, abundantly and without measure.

May the MERCIFUL ONE'S loving and protective wings arch over each of you as HIS footsteps come ever nearer.  Tomorrow's tasks, old pain, old memories, forgotten as into HIS gentle hand; adrift on a sea of peace — to sleep — then awake to see the blessed face of the HOLY BELOVED ONE!

Sha’alu (Pray) for the shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of Israel!
Our MIGHTY & GRACIOUS LORD GOD chooses what we go through; we choose how we go through it.  Choose carefully!
May peace abundant descend from heaven with life for us and to all Israel, Amen.


Praying for the peace of Jerusalem, is praying for the return of our Messiah and Lord and for the Kingdom of God He is bringing when He comes.  Then God's Will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven and the world will experience true godly universal peace.
