Good Tuesday morning to you! More snow last night, but not a lot. We are enjoying a period of white before Christmas. Isaiah ends with a great and terrible prophecy, and isnt' it interesting how often those two words come together in prophecy? We see great rewards for those who will believe and terrible tragedy for those who chose to rebel. I know that in human reasoning there is a scorn for such beliefs. Intellectuals will scoff at those who believe in the Creation. Jesus told us that all who believe in Him will come under the scorn and scoffing of the world. How true that is today when the ancient Greek or Roman reasoning is worshiped in academia, but the Bible is under attack. In the world today it is becoming easier by the day to see the division happening. On one side there are many believers in Christ, but on the other are many who choose to rebel.
I found a new mantra for my meditation yesterday, I even placed in my cubicle at work. It arrived in one of the devotionals that I receive each day. Just a simple statement really, but it holds a life changing meaning. "I shall believe in the miracle-working power of Jesus Christ today." I have wondered at times why I don't see the healing that is happening in other parts of the world and that seems to be the answer. I don't believe that we are cursed around these parts, but I do seem to be not believing and receiving. Sometimes I am a little slow and need to repeat something until it gets into my thinking. I choose that statement because that kind of believing seems to be absent in my life, a shortcoming in my Christian walk. It is all the more interesting since I received that kind of healing myself once, and now it is time to believe once more. God isn't on holiday; believe in the miracle-working power of Christ, today!
