Called To Be Silent

Day 161-160: These last two days have been very weighty for me and those whom I share a covenant relationship. The news that broke concerning our pastor has hurled us on our knees like never before. It is so wonderful when you know the true and living God and that your faith is squarely placed in Him. So, when you have something of this magnitude happen you have the assurance that He is not surprised. And that all things are working together for the God of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

Sundown began the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) where we are called to rejoice before the Lord for seven days. This is one of the three feasts that God said we are to observe for all generations. Sukkot in plural for sukkah, which most often in the Scripture refers to a small, crude, temporary shelter. As we rejoice in thanksgiving before the Lord for His provisions and sustenance, we remind ourselves that we are still abiding in temporary dwellings. I am so very thankful that I have a very clear focus for the next seven days, and that is to Rejoice in the Lord.

It is very seldom that I am at a lost for words and today is not one of them. However, my spirit has been quite clear for me to keep silent for the battle is not mine it's the Lords. I am praying for my pastor, his family, my church family and the body of Christ.

I declare that every lying tongue is wrong and that truth prevails.
