Surrounds me is human cruelty. Since when we did humans start loving material things over living things? I cry out to you the hopelessness of this world. Why do people adore money and use people? Why will we do anything for money? I see people mistreating one another, themselves and animals. Why do they want to bow down in idols of themselves rather than to submit to you? Don’t they know that your love is worth more than any parchment and public praise can offer? My heart is broken over the nations God. Specifically, I break for my nation. I am constantly crying out why are we so far away from you. Consumed with a life of fun, don’t they know that happiness is momentary and joy is everlasting? Lord, why do you make me look at this injustice? Why do you allow such wickedness among this earth? Not only in nations that I solely cannot help but my nation that I left. Lord God! Destruction at our human hands and violence towards one another is no longer at bay, it is now. It seems as the righteousness will never prevail. Justice has been perverted in our church, in our schools, in our government. When will it cease to exist God?
Look at the nations in which I have placed you and watch. You have been utterly amazed at my creations and my greatest creation, dear one. I am raising up a generation. One of which choose to marvel at my will and then the other who chose to rebel against it. The ones that do not wish to follow me are here to promote their own honor. They want success but little do they know that it is not found in money or self-presentation. They come to persuade my Calvary into the ways of the world. They fly like vultures swooping in to grab the dead but those who follow me will not be among them for I am the living. They scoff at me and my followers as if somehow you have no intelligence. My child, know that the wisdom of God is foolishness to your world. Those who do not choose me still shutter and become uncomfortable at the mention of my name, for they know they are hearing truth but choosing to deny it. Do not be overcome by the world because the revelation has been appointed in its time. It will not prove false. Though wickedness seems to linger, wait for it because redemption will come and it will not be delayed. Little one, I see the destruction. Man’s desires are not right but the righteous will continue to live. Let them lush, the drink will betray him; they become arrogant and will never be longing for more. Man has become greedy. They will take their greed to the grave because it has no room in heaven’s gates. Will they not taunt you? Man will ridicule himself as well as you. When you become their victim, remember your broken heartedness for them now. You have gone into my nations. You have seen my lands destroyed by innumerable things and now I have given you weight for your own nation and everyone in it. Has not the Lord Almighty determined that they people’s labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing? For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. Pity the ones who remains a drunk with his friends, those who seek after naked bodies. The sin that you have partaken in will overwhelm you. You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Of what value are your idols, since you have created it? Let them create their own idols, for that image as you know now teaches lies. For he who makes it trusts in his own creation and capabilities. Can money give you guidance? Can your belongings? Can fame? Can sex? Can liquor? For what do you say can give you guidance other than I? I scoff at the other gods made of wood, cray and stone painted in gold for they will not withstand the test of time but the Lord in his holy temple; all earth will be silent before him.
God I have heard of your name, I stand in awe of your deeds. Show me your way and in our time make your will known. When I fail, I know I will receive mercy. I know that your glory has covered the heavens and I will praise you here on earth. You have shown me in my own life your promises. You have history with this earth God, I know you love us. I know I will not understand your will at times but allow me to have the strength to carry it out. I am no prophet; I am just a child of yours. Take me as an instrument in your great symphony and let us sing a song of your praises. Let me carry my broken heart and show them love and wisdom that I received from only you because I am a mere human. Give me understanding when I lack solid ground. Yet fellow believers wait patiently for the day of calamity if that be in our lifetime. If it not be let us prepare the generations for your coming. I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength.
