Thoughts for another day

May 16, 2006

Today's verse: Zec 2:8. Truly, one who touches you touches the apple of my eye. (NRSV).

Do you consider yourself too less or too small? I have glad tidings for you.
Whether you are black, white, yellow or any color, tall, short or whatever, God calls you the ‘apple of His eye’. So rejoice; for if you be the apple of His eye, there is no danger that can go near you. There is no flood so strong as to overwhelm you and there is no night too long to make you dread. For truly I say, even in the sinful condition I am, He the Righteous One, whose righteousness we beget as an inheritance by faith in the Holy Lamb of God, standing in His Name, we are the precious ‘child’ of God Almighty, Lord God Yahveh. Yahweh Makkadesh: The Lord God our Sanctifier, Ex. 31:13. And the gates of hades shall not prevail against you.

And therefore, today, I call upon the heavens and the earth and all therein and even those outside of it, if there be a partner of the enemy of our souls, I call down the wrath of our God upon them and say, ‘beware, for if they touch you, they touch the chosen one of Him who is a Rock. They trespass the soul of the one dear to the Father, they trespass the people of the new covenant…For God in His day will wave His Hand over them and they shall be signaled for plunder and reduced to rubble. Then will all know that He is the Lord! He has set His sights on His chosen ones and will gather them together under His wings and rejoice over them with joy. He will rest in His love. He will joy over them with singing and all will know, ‘He is the LORD.
