Where is Stability?

If I have had the thought once, I have had it a thousand times and I have heard the same from others. I have thought and heard, ”I don't trust or believe much of what I hear or read anymore.”

Where is our stability? What can we count on anymore? State to state, nation to nation we don't trust. We don't accept with open arms. Instead we screen, test, question, and run through a pyramid of gauntlets what ever is suggested to us be it news, people, or other, everything we hear to figure out it's degree of soundness.

There is something we can count on though. Someone Who is the same yesterday , today, and forever. Of course, that Someone is God. He still proves that choosing to love our enemies will work things to the better. Try it...I did and pleasantly confused my enemy until she became much more congenial to me. I also, this last week saw God meet the needs of several of my close friends individually as only He can and each one felt that special one on one relationship with Him as thought they were special. Each one sought Him and each one found Him right where they were looking. One to be built up. One to be blessed in understanding the Bible she was reading as if the Word applied one on one with her like she never had seen before. One to live the Word of God to care for God's motherless and fatherless. A child who had no one and had been living on the street so long he did not know his parent's names, did not know his real age and only guessed it was 12. She, her husband, and her family was able to be God's instruments to bring him home and tuck him in and now care for Him as if he were one of their own.

These things are showing God is the same today, yesterday and forever. We can and should count on Him; trust Him. He is our stabilizing Rock in this otherwise crazy upside down world we blog about all the time. And my blog is extremely mild about what is out there! We don't need to hammer someone over the head to get the point across. We can warn and alert ourselves to attention and to prayer without being maligners.

Put He Who is worthy in charge of your confused and or muddled thoughts. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and the rest shall be added unto you. Love. Your stability will regain it's balance in a heartbeat.

God bless you and remember to feed among the Christians in the Word of God. The milk is warm and sweet and the meat is rich and savory. The last person you heard, did you give them the test and see if they are lovable? Did you choose to love them anyway for God is over us all and He is lovable. Do what the Bible shows has worked all these centuries and watch the Word of God come alive in you. And to God be all the glory!

Call to Prayer for Israel...urgent!

Last week I was given an email forward that dealt with Israel being in a very compromised position by our USA Government and by the Palestinians. I sent it around and wished for a chance to prove, with hard evidence, the truth of those articles as very best possible. Immediately a number of news articles were sent to me showing a continuous and gradual trend of the USA indeed being pressured, for military political reasons, to take a stand and seemingly against Israel.

This article asks how to restore relationships after Obama snubs the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu:

And this one addresses VP Biden's saying Arab leaders say the USA is incapable of standing up to Israel.

The very title of this one tells of how Obama is changing policy with Israel and is a very serious article to read in my opinion!:

And this article speaks of Obama planning on setting up a final peace plan:

The articles need a careful read to appreciate that the USA is getting ridicule from the Arabs leaders that the USA is wishy washy and impotent. They say we can't get anything done and they see us as sitting impotent ducks. So the pressure is on to get Israel to do as the “they” and the “Palestinians” want so we don't look so weak to them. This kind of thinking floors me because we have not been ones to worry about what others think about us; we tend to forge ahead doing what's right and expecting things to work out. And it usually has in the past as we fully support Israel but it's not looking so good right now.

Granted, I saw a ticker tape across the bottom of the TV screen when watching a CNN news cast that said Spain's unemployment is at 20% which is 10.4% worse then ours. So, yes, we could be looking worse.

Also, regarding Israel. A friend of mine called and asked me to blog letting people know we need to step up our prayers again for Israel right now. She had received this knowing from the LORD and received it strongly.

Now one of the articles I had received from a fellow watcher friend hinted there are soon to be further peace talks between Israel and the PLO and their becoming a two party state. But this article today brought to the forefront that those resumed peace talks are to be this very week!

So yes, it is critical time to pray all this week for Israel....please! Remember the 6th of May is National Day of Prayer. I think we all know that those who bless Israel will be blessed...seems to me praying for Israel is about the best way to pray for ourselves! Let's do it! And Praise God! Please read this article from Jerry Golden and be refreshed of the truth about how the nations are blessed.
