We are called to do His bidding with the goods He so generously handed us to work with. Each lot is handed out in accordance to what He believes we can handle and He has high expectations for things that don''t die with the land but for things that are worthy of His glory in the Kingdom of His Promise.

God is calling his children out of Babylon. That is His bidding. How many children is He calling? Well, if you walk with Christ with all of His perfection, the answer is all of them. You see it, I see it but most bury it in the land.

One can argue, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. I say, sure you can. Look for examples in scripture. Jesus Christ is the Word of God. Literally. The key is not just reading what he did but more in understanding HOW he did it and praying for God to reveal His Truth and Wisdom to see it.

Sometimes the difficulty in expressing what needs to be heard is dependent on the level of understanding of those that are to hear it. It is unique to the individual.

I hear so many people say 'these people need to wake up'. So my question is two fold. One, why are they asleep and two, are you sure you are awake?

What can you do that can chip away at the blinders? What is the intent of your action? More over, the intent is to open someone's eyes, you kinda got to let them realize what they need to see. It's not easy or is it?

Look around you, gather the tools you need from His infinite tool shed. I do not see tools made of swords, made of real metal or stone. They are not tools of hate or even deceit. Use all your resources don't do anything that God would not approve of.

Love God as your only God with all your heart and treat your neighbor as you treat yourself.

Christ forever changed the world with the message he brought. He did it with Grace, discernment and sometimes with righteousness when called for. He also did it without breaking God's laws in the process.

In the Spirit of Christ in the name of his Father, if you do me one thing it would be to consider how you could honor Him. He asks very little and GIVES so much.

May His hand guide you and keep you. God Bless.
