Good Day Folks
It is Jan 20 something and the weather here in "Da Burgh" is warmer than normal so I thought I'd venture out on a prayer walk down at the bike trail. Last week when I was there the ground was covered by ice in some places and in others it was muddy from a semi- thaw. I had expected that I would be sloggin through mud and muck the whole time. I was pleasently surprized to find the trail damp but very firm. As usual on my prayer walk I "Bogarted" the conversation. Papa isn't upset when I do that . It's just that i may miss out on what he may want to say to me. So after yakking for a couple hours I thought it wise to shut mu yap and listen for his voice.He is always speaking but too often we are so busy talkin or doin other stuff we just don't hear him. As I was walking (quietly) I noticed that there were still a few areas along the path that were ice covered. As I gingerly made my way around them or over them if need be,Papa pointed out that this path was a lot like His Kingdom. Yeah that was my reaction to. What exactly do you mean? My unspiritual brain could not process this "God word". But God does not want us stumbling about in the dark so he kinda opened my mind to "get" what he wanted to say. He said that we are certainly in the end of the times and His Kingdom is about to be consumated. His rule and reign will be over all the earth. Every tongue will confess that he is LORD. However like the path I was walking there were still patches of ice still there were areas not melted still places that were slippy. Papa said that in the world there are many many places that know him and mony people who have come under His Lordship but that there are still patches of resistance still a few places and peoples fighting him. As the springtime comes the sun will warm and melt the last of the ice. Even so the time is near when the last of the resistance to God will also melt via "Son shine"He said just hang in there and continue to do the stuff live the life and let your light shine before all men. Sounds like good advice to me. whatdya think let me know. later Pat
