Yet, those who know You -- praise You, Lord, for opening our eyes -- see what is happening. Those who never really knew You (even those who claimed to know You), are absorbed by The World. They create their own "gods", justifications, and rationales. Their "hardened hearts" grow harder still.
But your children hang on to you, and they prepare to face the mobs, The World, knowing all is appointed by you. If we are spared, it is to your glory; if we must suffer, it is also to your glory.
I pray that we remain strong in You, Lord, and be allowed in closer to You. The World Stage is being prepared for the entrance of the evil one incarnate. The separation will then be even more pronounced and the persecutions intensified. I hold to the sentiment of Psalm 27: "Wait for the Lord. Be strong, take heart, and wait for the Lord."
How the saints of old would have longed to be living in this hour! I consider myself blessed to be placed here by You at this time, to be a living witness to your glory as all this unfolds in the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years ahead.
