We need each other now; and we will even more so during the worst of this. This writer has made mention of this fact before and I will again: we cannot face the Storm alone.
Indeed, we will need supplies such as non-perishable food items, bottled water, matches, batteries, AM/FM/Shortwave radio, blankets, and warm clothing - these items make up but a partial list. Having a firearm and extra ammunition on hand is good idea if you are able to handle that weapon. Yes, these things and more will be useful in surviving a total meltdown of modern amenities and a loss of law and order, but we will need even more...
We will need the Lord, and He wants us to have each other. Our Lord God will perform mighty miracles as this multi-faceted and highly dynamic Storm that is upon us today grows into a maelstrom. But, He will also work through each of us within each others lives. He will help us to help each other meet our needs, as we will truly be His hands and feet on this troubled earth.
Please attempt to repair burned bridges before the flames grow out of control. We must attempt to put animus aside and be the peacemakers that can restore severed relationships. The day is rapidly approaching when we will not have too many friends, and that day could end up being today.
We will need to extend our friendship to the friendless, and in that we may find new and enduring friendship. We never know when we might be talking to an angel so it is incumbent upon us to manifest Christ's love in all circumstances, no matter how dire and trying they will be. Now is not a time to be prideful, as pride truly does come before a fall.
Conditions are quiet this morning of July 20th, 2010, and many may ask "where is this Storm that you speak of?" The Storm is raging quietly this morning, wearing the facade of peace and tranquility. Credit cards are being swiped through retail terminals and commerce is being transacted. Alcohol will be slid across nightclub counter-tops and hook-ups will be connected. Lawyers are ruthlessly suing and padding their bank accounts. Politicians are lying as the Puppet Masters manipulate their strings. To the casual, unobservant eye, all appears right in America on this day...
...And it is these who walk about - looking at life through the casual and unobservant eye that will be the first casualties when Storm Level 1 raises to 2 and 3. It is these who truly need the friendship of those who walk with the guidance of the Lord.
Dear Lord - help us to manifest your love and compassion as conditions are steadily deteriorating. The facade is one of near tranquility this day and in that, those who sleep and live on auto-pilot will continue to be lulled into a false sense of security. Help us to reach them - not by bashing them over the head with your Word but instead by being manifestations of your glorious word. Relationships must be restored as we are going to need each other, and it is through you that this restoration takes place.
Please Jesus, help us now to be on our best behavior. We cannot be our best unless it is through You. You desire us to walk upright and true. You desire us to be your gentle warriors filled with courage and compassion. You desire us to lead and to warn. Help us today Lord. In Your glorious name we pray, amen.
