Give The Word A Try

Joel 2:6-9


"Before them the people writhe in pain;
All faces are drained of color.
⁷ They run like mighty men,
They climb the wall like men of war;
Every one marches in formation,
And they do not break ranks.
⁸ They do not push one another;
Every one marches in his own column.
Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not cut down.
⁹ They run to and fro in the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They enter at the windows like a thief."


The pain and turmoil I see in the eyes and lives of our world today.  I refused to let anyone or anything, break my heart.  I refused to be angry at life, or remain in a state of depression from life.  Which is why I picked up my bible and began to read in 1995.  I just couldn't be cheated out of life.  I knew it was to much I wanted.  And many places I dreamed of traveling, to just settle.  I also believed, if I had it once, I could have it again.  And no peer or family would stop me.  Because I wanted us all happy and at peace.  However, I didn't see them seeking this, and things began to get scary.  Them not understanding the real truth and goal in life was love.  But I pressed on, in the name of Jesus Christ.  Believing in my heart, He was guiding my every step and rest-stop.  I had too.  Because I was also aiming for Heaven.  Verse 7 says, "They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war;
Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks."  (Matthew 11:12)  " And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."  We have to stand for what God stands for and commands.  Not what our world deems appropriate, for living standards.  We're to stand for righteousness and justice for all.  Believing, love, peace, and happiness is normal.  And lying, stealing, cheating, and back-biting one another is a sin.  This is how we go after our inheritances.  Receiving profits and rewards from righteous gain.  (James 1:16-20)  " Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.  Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures."  Verse 8 says, " They do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, They are not cut down."  When you believe the Word of God is true.  Knowing daily that you're putting all your faith and work into it, to make it manifest around you.  God opening and closing doors by His grace.  You'll do just about anything to set yourself and others free.  Though, society may cut us down.  We stand on the Word of God.  Until all is at peace.  Give the word a try.


(Psalms 119:105-106)  "Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed That I will keep Your righteous judgments."


Blessings to all as we glide our way into Heaven,
