The rabbit has been rescued –
although she might describe it as being captured. The neighborhood kids located her in the
tomatoes and slowly came together, finally making her hunker down and give
up.
She is, at this time, safely
incarcerated in a rabbit hutch where they declare she shall remain until giving
birth to the little ones – however, she is an escape artist, so we shall
see.
Psalm 119:171-176
My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all
thy commandments are righteousness.
173 Let thine hand help me;
for I have chosen thy precepts.
174 I have longed for thy
salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my
delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it
shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help
me.
176 I have gone astray like
a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy
commandments.
Acts 17:6
And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain
brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world
upside down are come hither also;
I look at these two sets of
verses and wonder what a few Christians could do, who cry out to God for
understanding of His Word.
Who cry out to God for the Holy
Spirit to embrace their souls.
Who praise God without
ceasing.
Who allow the Holy Spirit to
search their heart, helping them to understand where they are failing God and
asking Him to rid their hearts of their sins.
Who recognize that they have
gone astray, who desire to have God present with them, leading them, teaching
them, helping them preach His Gospel
Who not only understand His Word
but seek to live it every hour of every day.
Who stand for God.
Could they turn the world upside
down with their united effort to help people understand that salvation, that
perfection, that peace and love can only come through hearts that are in tune
with the Holy Spirit; have accepted Christ as their Savior and God as their
Father?
We look for strong leaders who
speak to hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands – yet God wants us to speak
to our neighbors, our friends our fellow employees.
We look for that large gathering
where 5000 can be fed, yet we forget that Jesus also dealt with people one on
one and they came to accept Him.
God wants individuals committed
to Him. He does not want individuals
that think they need to do great things, go to foreign countries as missionaries
in order for Him to work within them.
He wants Christians that are
dedicated to Him, where they are, doing His will in their lives by sharing His
Love for others.
Many do just that, the rest of
us need to follow suit.
Who knows what could happen if a
few thousand more Christians would determine in their heart that Jesus must be
shared, not held in a quiet corner of their heart and not exhibited in their
life.
Who knows; we could turn the
world upside down!
Later, Art :-)
