Gratitude & Grace

 Good morning Lord Jesus. You are the Way, the Truth, the Life. The more I love You and serve You, the more I know the Father. Glory to You - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Heavenly Father,
No matter our opinion, no matter what we think should be done, no matter what has been done, Covid has made itself known in every area of life from deaths to very ill friends and family to short staffing and supply chain disruptions.
Please give us the unction to pray about it instead of ranting about it. When we see a local business closed for a few days due to sick employees, we should pray for them not have a tantrum. When we wait in line because only 2 of 15 employees are working 12 hour shifts due to ill coworkers, help us react with grace and patience.
Grocery shelves are not stocked as we Americans typically expect. Our brothers and sisters around the world would love to buy butter, it would not occur to them to explode because there were only 2 brands to choose from at the store. Help us see current supplies and lack of supplies in perspective.
Your word tells us “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages." Remind us to be grateful we have food to buy. Remind us to be grateful we have money to purchase food and other necessities.
We don't know the day or the hour the trump will sound and Your Son will return, it could be before I finish typing this prayer, it could be in 100 years, but each minute that passes the day gets closer and life gets harder. We want to live in expectancy, filled with grace, closing all doors to sin.
Help us Lord God, we cannot do it without You, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
In Jesus' Mighty Name we pray. Amen

Joel Rosenberg & Ezekiel 38-39

I wanted to share a little info compiled by author Joel Rosenberg concerning a few chapters from the book of Ezekiel. This has caused me to wonder since Iraq is in such a mess; if that's why it is not listed as a country which attacks Israel. Revelation 18 goes on to say: 2With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit,a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." If Iraq becomes a land of such rich excesses, could it be 1 of the only major oil producers left? (This is food for thought on my part.) In a moment, I will walk you through the prophecies step-by-step. But first, let me note that the predictions found in Ezekiel chapters 36 & 37 have already come true. These are the famous ...
