The Mystery of Testimony

Jesus has left us to our own.  But He has not left us on our own.

Men speak as men know.  Yet there is provoking from Above.

We translate a rose, seen by the eye.  Telling of our vision by words of limit.

Yet we know of things our tongues cannot pronounce. 

No eye has seen these things.  So how is it that we proclaim what we cannot speak?

God has done this.  He has created a place where rumors abound.

A great lie has gone forth from ages past.  And God has made a place for it to live.

It is as if a puddle of mud has a drop of milk added to it every moment or two.

What fantastic mysteries is this place of testing!

By His Grace.

Have They Won?

Why do you walk so softly?  And why is your joy not shown?  Have they won?  Did they stifle your mouth?  You fear their ridicule and keep your joy to yourself.  Have you asked why? 

They protect their sin with a great energy.  Look at how they stand against the One who made them.  When they keep your mouth shut they perceive a great victory.  Yet we know of a day when victory will belong to the one stifled. 

Hold your chin up.  Straighten your back.  Speak of your joy with boldness and accept what comes.  How can we think He endured such things so that we can shuffle around like beaten folk?  Consider that Day.  Let yourself stand before Him and give account of your beatings.   How have we suffered for His Holy Name?  And what does He ask of us?  Perhaps He asks too much.  All the more shame to us.

SHOUT!

Great cheers go up from the crowd. 

 Thousands voice their joy. 

And this was only a super bowl. 

Now multiply that sound by a billion. 

There is a Great Cheer about to sound as we gather in His place to honor our salvation.

Keep your hope.

By His Grace.
