The journey was long, I played my card,
I tried it my way, it was oh so hard.
Time after time, I made a big mess,
I had no peace, I only knew stress.
I fell on my face, I laid in the dirt,
Somebody help me, take away my hurt.
I knew not then God had His eye on me,
He saw me suffer, but said it had to be.
My pride was so great, I did not know,
God had to break me, and bring me low.
Now I’m so thankful, He gave me a shove,
He knocked me down, with His tough love.
It is odd, but even in their great destructive power, we find volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons, etc., awe-inspiring. The tremendous power which God has imbued in the natural creation demands our respect.
“For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.” Philippians 1:19-26, KJV
“Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.” Philippians 2:16-17, KJV
“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:6-8, KJV
Before any of the Futurist-leaning Christians promote the crazy idea that the 15-foot bronze and gold- plated statue of Donald Trump is the Image of the Beast, let’s be clear about one thing: No it is not because Trump is NOT the A.C.
