Texting with a friend over current conflicting medical statements today, she said, “Im definitely concerned-but what do we believe?” Such a great question for all followers of Jesus/members of the Body/His Bride!
An Angel told Daniel in 12:4 at “the time of the end – Many will run to and fro, and knowledge will increase.” This word knowledge in Hebrew is “daath” meaning: wittingly cunning, ignorantly unawares. I think we must be near because information is flying about and it’s hard to decipher what is actually truth.
We must seek wisdom, but before making any clear evaluation- I try to remember His promises to me. It’s a daily exercise of reading and rereading scripture. Here are some of my favorite truths:
Whenever I feel forgotten or alone: “Therefore the LORD waits [expectantly] and longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; Blessed (happy, fortunate) are ALL those who long for Him [since He will never fail them].” Isaiah 30:18 AMP
Whenever David has been in the hospital near death… Psalms 139:16 has helped me: Your eyes saw me when I was inside the womb. All the days ordained for me were recorded in Your scroll before one of them came into existence.
When the world’s toubles seem too much: “… how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? …how can you say God ignores your rights? Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of His understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.” Isaiah 40:27-29 NLT
Oh the riches of God’s Word! The older I grow the more I discover and love to ponder. He promises to make us wise when we study it… to bring us peace when we store it in our minds… and Hope beyond measure when we believe it in our hearts.
Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever. Daniel 12:3
Fill my mind and heart, LORD so that I can point to Jesus – make me a shine for You 🌟
