In talking about how easy it is to get wrapped up in the whole deceitful mess....I agree with you all....the world is fading away and my eyes are fixed on Jesus and His imminent return...the differences we make now are one soul at a time, like the opportunity that Arthur had with Govinder- will be praying for these encounters for us all....in the meantime, let's turn our eyes upon Jesus and the things of earth will grow strangely dim..... :prayer-hands: Turn your eyes upon Jesus Oh soul are you weary and troubled? His words shall not fail you, He promised Turn your eyes upon Jesus Wonderful lyrics! So gloriously true! TR I needed all these reminders...surrendered it all again to the Lord last night and after a week of hours & hours each night of sleeplessness when i tried to pray but my attempts seemed to be overrun by anxiety...last nite i told Him i can't do this- i can't fight anxiety on my own and i don't want to be that way anymore and He blessed me with sleep....it's amazing the things we take for granted until we don't have it for a time... thanks for this post and Arthur for your summaries- i've been telling my husband about that a little from what you've mentioned in the past, but i couldn't quite put my finger on how it might work and where Rapture timing might fit in...but like you, i feel a peace when i tell my hubby about the idea of this whenever we both get all worked up angry about it all becuz i am reminded that no matter what, God has a good plan and we belong to Him and we know we are on the winning side in the end...also He says He will give us wisdom and guidance and provisions and we can trust in His faithfulness to do so as we need it - He knows the future- He's already written the book to reveal it to us- He'll tell us if we need to do something & when & how and give us the ability... i do think the craziness of it all does -just like my anxiety- reach such a point where you can't stand it anymore and you "give up" but not in the way that a lost person who doesn't know the Lord does... instead, as a Believer in Yeshua Hamashiach, indwelt by Holy Spirit, we have hope that is not based on our circumstances, Praise God! When we "give up" it is giving it (our worries, sufferings, fear etc.) up to our Heavenly Father by faith trusting in His goodness and abilities. Agreed, gratefulforgrace. :good: When everything seem overwhelming we have to give it over to God. He can handle it. He knows our sorrows as He experienced it Himself. Psalm 37 is a great help for me. The wicked will be held accountable. No one gets away with anything. It sometimes seems frustrating to see the wicked go unpunished but their day is coming soon. Such wonderful promises. We will never be forsaken. We will be preserved. We will never be begging for bread. Psalm 37 New King James Version The Heritage of the Righteous and the Calamity of the Wicked I noticed a few watchers are speculating they might time the NWO rising on this Sept 11th? Sept 11 1991 Bush talks about the NWO (did he give a clue?) Then 10 years later … Sept 11 2001 twin towers attack Out of the ashes … rises a singular tower and the antenna placed on top looks an awful lot like a vaxx needle B-) Now 20 years later … Sept 11 2021 what are they going to pull out of their hat next ? Only 15 days away … hoping our disappearance act is 10 days or less! :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: Definitely could be something planned for 9/11. Perhaps an false flag attack from the new ISIS in Afghanistan? Are they really that stupid to go to that well again? Would fit with the bumbling fake evil NWO. Hopefully our Blessed Hope happens before that. :yahoo: Geri, I looked it up and the same date on the Chabad calendar for 9/11/2001 Elul 23, is 8/31 this year. The pullout of A'stan!
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
No light in the darkness to see
There's a light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free
Believe Him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
A Psalm of David.
37 Do not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret—it only causes harm.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plots against the just,
And gnashes at him with his teeth.
13 The Lord laughs at him,
For He sees that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn the sword
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.
15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man has
Is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
But the Lord upholds the righteous.
18 The Lord knows the days of the upright,
And their inheritance shall be forever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time,
And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish;
And the enemies of the Lord,
Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish.
Into smoke they shall vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows and does not repay,
But the righteous shows mercy and gives.
22 For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth,
But those cursed by Him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lends;
And his descendants are blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good;
And dwell forevermore.
28 For the Lord loves justice,
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
And dwell in it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,
And his tongue talks of justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart;
None of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watches the righteous,
And seeks to slay him.
33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand,
Nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on the Lord,
And keep His way,
And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power,
And spreading himself like a native green tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more;
Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;
For the future of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them;
He shall deliver them from the wicked,
And save them,
Because they trust in Him.
