The big picture

The big picture - prose

Hab:2:1

I will climb up to my watchtower

And stand at my guardpost

There I will wait to see what the Lord says

And how He will answer my complaint.

Get the big picture

And you will see things differently

And then you can see the right way

The way God sees.

His plans - His ways - His direction

To transform to His likeness

To bless. To prosper. With hope.

Higher ways. Better ways. All for good.

Things that are bad - they only seem

These are ultimately for our good

For He is good - He modifies to our good

Nothing bad in what He is and what He does.

May be confused. Perplexed.

Unanswered questions focussing the why!

He has led this far

He will lead further.

Generation gap

A message for children. Pro:1:8 My child listen when your father corrects you Don't neglect your mother's instruction Generation gap. A terminology we snuggly fit in to ease the discomfort in a difficult relationship between a father and a son or a mother and a daughter. Children say they are older generation. They don't understand the present scenario. They don't understand our needs. Their advises are all old fashioned. Not fitting into the present world. Little do they understand that their parents also might have felt the similar way about their parents only to realise the value of their parent's admonitions later on in their lives as adults. That parents have the wisdom of life. Moreover if godly parents, they being directed by God the Eternal Father, it is indeed wise to accept their advice. Even more importantly, they are God given authority. And their love to you is beyond anyone else in this world. Your own blood. Who else would want the best out of your

Trust

He is close to those who trust in Him. Nah:1:7 Oh! When you feel all alone in this dark world. When you feel you don't have anyone to lean on to. There is one person who promised to be with you, always, to the end of days. He has promised to never leave or forsake you. All we have to do is to just trust in Him. He is true. He will never fail. Even if heaven and earth will fail, His word will always remain. He is faithful. Trust is the only key to a beautiful relation with the Eternal Father.

Case dismissed

Zech:3:1-3 One name of the enemy is accuser. He keeps on accusing against us to the Eternal Judge. The bard did that. The bard lied. The bard is angry. The bard is selfish. The bard is sinful to the core and corrupted. He is not fit to be inheriting the eternal kingdom. All my sins - private and public, secret and known to everyone, he lays before the Judge everything to accuse me to take me to hell with him. To prove that I am not worthy to be saved, not worthy to be redeemed. He lists all of them. And do you know what this Eternal Judge, my Father has to tell him - I the Lord reject your accusations, Satan (v:2). Though all his accusations were essentially true, though I do not deserve to be saved or redeemed, though I deserve only eternal hell, my Father, the Eternal Judge proclaims that He rejects all the accusations of the enemy. For the bard has been forgiven, the bard has been loved, the bard has been redeemed by the Precious blood of the Son Jesus Christ. And He c

Pupil of the eye

Zech:2:8 The pupil of the eye is one's most precious possession. All reflexes try to protect the pupil. Pupillary reflex to light is a sign of life. Therefore it is very close to life itself. God says, you are the pupil of His eye. His treasured possession. Very close to His heart. Therefore He will protect you with all His might. That is why He is a protective wall of fire around you. He is a shield around you. Ps:91:3-6 He will rescue you from every trap And protect you from deadly diseases. He will cover you with His feathers He will shelter you with His wings His faithful promises are your armour and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night Nor the arrow that flies in the day Do not dread the disease that stalks in the darkness Nor the disaster that strikes at midday 10-11 No evil will conquer you No plaque will come near you For He will order His angels To protect you wherever you go. 14-15 The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love me I

Be strong

Hag:2 Be strong - Zerubabbel Be strong - Jeshua Be strong - all you people still left in the land. My Spirit remains among you, just as I promised. So do not be afraid. I will fill this place with glory. The future glory of this Temple will be greater than it's past glory. And in this place I will bring peace. As you rebuild things around you dear one - in your family dear one, in your church, in your own life. Be strong for the Spirit of the Lord is within you. It is His doing to rebuild. Do not be discouragrd. It is with His glory that He is going to fill. Be strong. Do not go down. Cling on to the Master.

Continue believe that it is He who is doing. Cling on. Image credit: https://stock.adobe.com/in/search?k=strong

Yet

Hab:3:17-19 Even though the fig trees have no blossoms And there are no grapes on the vines Even though the olive crop fails And the fields lie empty and barren Even though the flocks die in the fields And the cattle barns are empty Yet I will rejoice in the Lord I will be joyful in the God of my salvation The Sovereign Lord is my strength He makes me as surefooted as deer Able to tread upon the heights. Oh! If your life in this world is dry and filled with troubles. Will you be joyful, because of your privilege to know God and because of your salvation? In the midst of tears will you be able to put out a joyful face? Not artificially, but from the depths of your heart. Knowing fully that your Father is in control. And He is good and that Rom:8:28 is true. Like Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, will you be able to confidently tell, even if He doesn't...... If not, you still are lost in what the world has to offer, dear one. Those which the world offers is not from the Fa
