Heading to DC Friday

"The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect."  (Psalm 33:10

Though it appears that Capitol Hill is still shutdown to the public, the Lord willing, I still plan to be in DC this coming Friday.  

Our text is an encouragement for all to continue praying for our nations.  Right now, the biggest threat to world peace is Communist China.  They have nuclear weapons, have been modernizing their armed forces at a more rapid rate than any other nation.

But I share, "The Words of God," with all humanity today, "....Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great which will be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord."  And this same Baby in the animal barn in Bethlehem, our Lord Jesus Christ is He Who, "....makes the plans of the peoples of no effect."

Father, in Jesus' Name, no matter what news reports reveal, I thank You that You, "....bring the counsel of the nations to nothing."  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2

Never Forget the "FOREVER"

"Save Your People, and bless Your Inheritance; Shepherd them also, and bear them up forever."  (Psalm 28:9)

Our King and Savior, Jesus Christ, has been doing this through the centuries, captivities, inquisitions, Holocaust, everything.  Now here they are, after 4000 years of intense suffering, the most feared military in the Middle East.

Most of us have short term memories and perspectives.  The Hebrews are still a thriving  and holding-on People Group because their memory goes back to Abraham and the Red Sea.  Maybe you and I can learn something from them.  The Church of Jesus Christ has been in the "mode" of, "Shepherd them also, and bear them up forever", from the Cross and Resurrection.  He will continue in this "mode"-------- "forever."

Father, in Jesus' Name, I so thank You that You have been my Shepherd and borne up me from------"FOREVER."  Amen.
