Jeremiah 42-44; Psalm 48;Rev. 13

Less than a month now ~ Buhwkini South Africa in less than a month...

To be soft and vulnerable...open to RISK....

'Queen of Heaven'...(?) an Egyptian goddess ~ how did people of God end up in worship to a heathen goddess?? How did a nation once rescued by God get so far away from You??

By FOLLOWING....

following instead of leading...instead of bucking against trends...following instead of....
fitting in instead of NOT...

I have lived my whole life desiring to FIT....fit in w/the crowd...
sought popularity....

Now what Abba...to finish well means to not...to NEVER fit??
w/the religious right...w/the liberal left....to not judge either~ to simply never fit? really???


Ps. 48:13-14 Then you can tell the next generation
detail by detail the story of God,
Our God forever,
who guides us till the end of time.

To tell YOUR story ~ to BE weird and never fit....

You sure don't make following You easy....

Easy doesn't create great rewards....

Dang Abba....this stuff is hard...
please guide me to not quit....

to endure....to persevere....
