When the World is in the Ditch

When the World is in the Ditch

Go — remind My people and warn a world living without Me.

When God roars… "the heavens and earth will shake but the Lord will be a shelter for His people and the strength of the children of Israel." Joel:16

"Tell the Righteous… it will be well with them." Isaiah 3:10

"The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble and He knows those who trust in Him." Nahum 1:7

Go… tell the righteous and the wicked His news.

Good morning, my friends, I pray this note on Joel and Isaiah 3 will find you seeking the King and His gentle light on this beautiful day. I love the fact that His light illuminates our darkness and provides us with answers, hope, and comfort for the issues we must face today and tomorrow.

"Sever yourselves from such a man, whose breath (life) is in his nostrils; for what account is he?" Isaiah 2:22

Wow, what a word... and such a vivid commentary of our modern times.

When any society, unwisely and ignorantly, finds life within itself (Isaiah 2:22), and as a whole doesn't seek help and answers from above, but goes rogue in its rebellion, they will see their own growth and modern advancements, as progress. But what God sees is something entirely different. He doesn't see some of it as progress, but quite the contrary. He knows where it's headed, and that's why He warns us and gives us these signs. He, better than anyone, can see what some call progress is just another step toward the threshold of judgment. He is merciful and has given us more than enough time and room to turn this sinking ship around before He has to remove the floodgates of His mercy.
