Friend of mine occasionally sends out a devotional type email. Thought yall would like to read it. Seems appropriate. We as a society have been removing our lord and saviour from everything in this country, and then have the odacity (spelling?) to ask where he was when something like this happens. Howdy all,
Today’s verse: Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2
Oh Lord, what releases the sleeping pen? What stirs the winter soul? Shall I write of this? May you speak to our hearts as our senses reach for the answers? Why God? Is it possible for us to ask where were you? May I ask if you were there?
Did you place peace upon those little children as the darkness lifted his hand to point at each frightened face? Oh my great and merciful God, please tell me that you sat yourself into each of those 1[SUP]st[/SUP] grade hearts and restored their hope that they would be held again. Lord, when they faced a fear unknown, did you engulf them with your peace? Lord, please tell us that you have them in your hand. Tell us their face to face encounter with the manifestation of today America is now comforted with the hand of Jesus walking them through the streets of no sorrow, no pain, no fear, and the reality of an eternity of truth and love.
Please Lord, tell me that you are still here. Father tell me that you have not abandoned us to ourselves. Yes, I know. Yes, I know. We – we as an America – we – we as a labeled “anointed” – we as a Church ---- it is we who have left – IT IS WE WHO HAVE ABANDONED. It is we who have abandoned your ways. It is we who have abandoned your Name. The great I Am has became the name which is whispered and our America now screams the protection and acceptance of each stream of darkness that Hell delivers through the borders that was once guarded by your Holy and Annointed Church.
Yes, Lord, I hear that it is I, not the Great I AM, who has left. It is I who has more interest in guarding my boundaries and family than standing and screaming that WE HAVE ABANDONED OUR GOD and our children now live in a world that is a reflection of us. It is me – It is my church – It is we who have become so weak that we have allowed our Nation, our world to be ruled from Hell. It is I who allows the misfits of evil to become elected to rule our America. It is I who allows my tithes to be sent to other nations that have more reverence for God than our Nation of today. God was it I – God was it today’s American Church – was it actually our weakness and our acceptance that entered that school of innocence and placed unimaginable fear and tears into those precious children? Were we so involved in ourselves that we did not reach the demon tormented man who loaded the bullets that ultimately rested in the bodies of our children?
Yes, Lord, I hear – YOU were there. You were there to place a miraculous peace upon the lives that we as a Nation, a Church, and we as individual Christians have abandoned.
Though You, our great and merciful God, comfort our lost children; though you have now pulled the small hands that covered their eyes and placed them upon the majesty which they now live; though You can only look upon us through the cross of Your Son; You, our only Hope desire for us to see – You desire for us to hear. Thank you my God. Please Speak. Please Speak.
The Great I Am – As we look into the eyes of the world which we have become – Please Speak.
The God that created the world calls upon One – He calls upon One person, One Church, One town, One State, One Nation to come to Him. The God that raises my pen this day, calls upon One to see what we have become and is willing to stand and proclaim Him into a world that has abandoned Him. The Great I Am will remain The Great I Am whether we choose to return or not. God will continue to eternally and magnificently heal the wounds of the innocent.
This week, 20 innocent and young lives faced the fear and horror of a world that we have become. This week, I questioned God.
This day – God questions me. This day – God questions His Church. This day – God questions America. This day – God questions you
Where have you gone? Where were YOU?
Today’s prayer: Father, too many times through our history, you have blessed the created beyond what we deserve. Too many times, we have abandoned you. Father, mercifully forgive us. Father, miraculously restore us. Father, supernaturally empower us to carry your name once again. Father, I reach my hand to your Heaven and ask that you place your hand upon the cheeks of the children which faced such fear this week. I ask that you tell them that we are sorry for allowing their world to become so evil.
Father, please forgive us for being so weak and allowing evil to take our children.
