That's quite a few people, but if He used an ornery, bad-attitude missionary (who spent a 3-day furlough inside a fish) to get 120,000 people in Nineveh to repent and believe, what's a mere 7 billion to the One who can count the stars and the hairs on the heads of my precious children. God is too powerful to be limited by our technology or language problems. May His Holy Spirit have free reign on this last day of 2010. I want to go home today, but I want 6.89 billion to go with me. May God deal with us, help us, correct us, encourage us, chasten us, build us up in Him and in His precious Word so that those almost 7 billion, most who can't tell the difference between their right hand and their left hand, so that they might hear the Gospel and believe. I doubt my faith is as big as a tiny mustard seed....and I don't really want to move mountains, but I do want to see our generation (every cotton-pickin' one of us) won for Christ. Sure, narrow is the way, and few there be that find it, but my Heavenly Father has the biggest heart in the universe. He could have hit the reset button at Genesis 3:6. Instead He sent His Son to die for us. He's put up with this human race for 6,000 years. God, may your Word be proclaimed throughout the world today, December 31, 2010. May the world believe your Word today. Just like in Acts, may people hear the Gospel in their language, today. May they trust in Christ as their Savior, today. Why should your power, your love as expressed in the book of Jonah....why can't we have a repeat on December 31, 2010? What's another 7 billion for the One who took the children of Israel through the Red Sea. What's another 7 billion for my Daddy who owns the cattle on a thousand hills, the wealth in every mine? Spare us having to deal with this child abuse mess. Spare the billlions that woke up this morning, hoping to find food and water for their children. Spare the precious people in the Ivory Coast who fear tonight/this morning for the lives of their children. We are the clay....you are the potter. I dare not question your love and mercy....but please come soon. And when you come, may you find 7 billion looking for your Son's return, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
BEST POST EVER! AMEN!
