[67] Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
[68] Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
[69] The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
[70] Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
[71] It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

“It is a rather humbling thing when God begins to break us.  Sometimes the very thing that God uses to make us good Christians is the thing that everybody else will sit in judgment of.”

~ Dennis Corle from Weathering the Storms of Life

If God is working in your life…let Him work!  Don’t be embarrassed by what He is doing, even if He is chastening you.  That chastening work, when you respond to it properly, will make you more like Christ.  Ignore what others say, and what their opinions are of your brokenness.

Let Christ work to make you more like Himself, that He can draw others to Himself, through the light that is shining out from your broken vessel.

I read these verses this morning, and thought "That could have been pulled from today's headlines!"

Psalm 83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

Things will ever be the same for the nation of Israel, until the day that Christ returns to earth and sets things right for His people.

Before that day, however, there will be a calling away of Christians, a gathering together of all the saved to Heaven.  Then we will return with Christ on the day that He overturns the enemies of Israel.

Will YOU be ready for the rapture, for God's calling up to Heaven those who have been saved, redeemed from their sins by the precious blood of Jesus, shed on Calvary?  

If not, my friend, I hope that you can take a look around you, at the things that are happening daily around the world, and realize that your time is short.  Jesus will be calling us out of here to Heaven just any day now!

Why delay turning your life over to the Lord?  There will come a day when time for repentance will run out.  The timetable of God's rescuing Israel will be put into motion, and those who are not FOR God will be AGAINST Him.

Make your decision today to trust Him for salvation from sin and Hell, to everlasting life with Him in Heaven

The time for making that choice is quickly running out.

II Corinthians 6:2 – (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
