Words all around. At my fingertips. Right now.
Experts in weather, in “breaking news,” and opinion. I become “all knowing” in my studies. Information becomes a treasure.
Pictures invite, I read and receive.
And “the heavens declare the glory of God, . . .” but am I too busy?
Has life’s experience allowed for a wall to be built to protect me from experiencing more pain. I keep busy to drown out the deep, internal rain.
But then, a child sings, unawares, a song well learned, with wisdom beyond years: “The wise man built his house upon the Rock. And the rains came tumb’lin down.”
With energy and joy, simplicity of verse: “The rains came down and the floods came up,” . . .
Floods of truth come “tumbling” in, as a child sings with more wisdom than professors. Revelation comes. It’s not about “if” the rains come down. It’s about “when.” And the real question here, is “what is my foundation?”
“The foolish man built his house upon the sand, and the rains came tumblin’ down . . .” continued the song from the child not four.
The “when” of the trial is here, front and center. But I forgot about foundation. I lost my way. But the Rock never moves. The Rock never changes, though the “rains come down and the floods come up.” “The house on the Rock stood firm.”
People’s opinions and hypocrisy in church, have built a thick wall on unstable sand. The rains and the floods have come over my head, I seek the One whom, I remember The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
He is there, even when the flood waters are up to my face. He is filled with mercy and kindness, even in my disgrace. When all forsake me, He is there. He even calls my name. My own name He calls.
“The heavens declare the glory of God, . . . Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night shows forth knowledge.”
the house on the Rock stood firm!”
“The just shall live by faith,”
“It is finished.” these are My final earthly words – Remember Me! Remember the Son!” (John 19:30).
“So, will you build your house on the Rock with each new day? Perhaps a new song for the battle to say? It’s old though, it’s found in Habakkuk 3: “Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail. Though the fields yield no food, and flock be cut off from the fold… Yet I will rejoice in the LORD” (Hab. 3: 17,18).” Will you consider, with each day you wake to put your trust in ME?
Be as a child. Sing to one another in songs old and new, be wise! Make melody in your heart to the Rock of all Ages – ages 2 to 92, ‘giving thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ’!
This is Rock on which you stand : Praying without ceasing with upheld hands, trusting in Me – that I hear you! Do not fear! I give you a Spirit of power and love and a mind that is sound. (2 Tim. 1:7). I AM the Rock! I will pour My blessings, even though dark clouds be all around!”
“The prayers go up and the blessings come down! The prayers go up and the blessings come down! The prayers go up and the blessing come down… “the just shall live by faith.” (Hab. 2:4). “Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines… Yet,.. I will joy in the God of my Salvation.” (Hab. 3:18), “For, He has not given me a spirit to fear, but of power and love,… and yes, I have a mind that is sound!”
“Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” These words are written in red by the Son, “And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them.” (Mark 10: 15,16). “Yes Lord, I believe. On You, I will wait! Help me be ‘as a child.’ Increase my faith!”

I write for myself the things God has shown me. I write because I am a mess, not the other way around. But I thank my Lord Jesus, because He has not given me a spirit to fear, but of power and of love and of a mind that is sound!
