The Exciting Time of History

" ... the Holy Spirit will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come."   --- John 16:13

Are you excited that God placed you at this back end time of History? 

I am. 

These days I walk around, cleaning my house, thinking, "Will this be the week God turns things rightside-up? Was this latest 'happening' in the news His 'last straw'? The thing He's waited for before mightily moving in our midst?"

It's Springtime again! What miracles will 'spring forth' during this one, I wonder while standing at our kitchen window or moving pans around the stovetop.

--or--

Have I completed the individualized homework God's given me so far? Did I do my assignments, ones like allowing God to make me more trusting of His timing? More slow to speak? More grateful? More excellent in all He's called me to do for Him? Less likely to assume things or to question God's ways?

Am I cooperating with His plans or creating and following my own, instead? (Oh dear.)

Lately these are my questions, but I don't allow them to overwhelm me. God never places upon me assignments too heavy to bear, but rather, His hand leads me at His do-able, wise pace.

Always, the Holy Spirit thinks ahead and when I cooperate with Him? I find He prepared me for whatever came next. With Him, I'm steady in spirit, soul and body--

--and anticipating my part in what He's got planned for this crazy world.

All with the consistent, lasting peace I'd not trade for anything else. Ever.

I love watching tiny house videos, but I also appreciate when their owners share the truth about life inside them. Like she did.

Did you watch the video of this weatherman's quick prayer on air? (I que'd it to that place.) It went viral and you know? In the days ahead, I believe we'll see more things like this. Way more.

And as I wrote at Facebook:

Today we may not understand God's plan, but we can believe He HAS one--and that it's remarkably good!

“Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe..."   --- Hebrews 12:26-28

Please remember: My posts are always about more than they appear to be.
