The Road to the 100-Fold Harvest

Psalm 126

A song of ascents!



When the Lord brought back His exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!

We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy.

And the other nations said, "What amazing things the Lord has done for them."

Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy!

Restore our fortunes, Lord, as streams renew the desert.

Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.

They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.

What has God Commanded of Me?

1Kings 13

What has God commanded of me? Am I His sheep that knows His voice so well that I cannot be deterred by temptation or deception even by/thru another "well-meaning" (or maybe not-so-well-meaning) Christian? God has given me His Word and His Holy Spirit to help me to determine His specific direction for my life. Make no mistake, there is no escape from the consequences of disobedience. There is no room for blaming someone else. The responsibility of hearing and adhering (i.e. obedience) to His call and direction for my life sits squarely on my own shoulders. I will listen. I will trust. I will obey.... even when someone else maybe misunderstands or disapproves.

Sweet Shepherd,
How grateful I am that You are teaching me to hear and trust Your Voice thru Your Word and Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for strengthening me and my understanding to follow Your lead!
I love you, too!
J
