I think our Abba delayed my writing of this September article for a broader purpose! I had been thinking along the lines of writing that the season has changed: we are in serious spiritual battle. It is past time to be lamenting when things don’t go as we know they SHOULD. Although I haven’t thought of it for a while, for many years I have observed that we shouldn’t be at all surprised when things go wrong but more amazed and grateful that in this fallen world things can go RIGHT at all! It was a week ago that I understood what the title should be. (It is a quote from Macbeth, just FYI, but I didn’t get anything about pricking thumbs…)
As we go through these times, our confident faith will be increasingly challenged… Will we allow our eyes to be drawn to the circumstances we SEE around us or will we be able to look over that to what our Abba intends for us in the midst of them and see with our spirit through the Ruach haKodesh/Holy Spirit? HE is sovereign over all.. and His ways ARE higher than our ways…can we stay aware of this deep truth and not just run over them like some pretty but ornamental only words? I well recall how sad and tragic it was to me when someone said to me, “You don’t really think that prayer changes anything, do you?” Yes, why YES! I do!
