RHEMA 7/5/08  CRUSHING TIMES

HEARD: Conflict.  It’s a timing issue.   Humility.  What does that mean? 

PIX:  I saw the driveway next door.  It was dirt that had been leveled, flattened and thoroughly pressed. 

2 Cor 1:8-10  KJV

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us.

WORD TO PONDER:  HUMILITY IN CONFLICT  7/05/08

Dear one, some conflicts are so thoroughly crushing, you feel you are unable to ever rise again.   When you are pressed beyond all limits, just wait beloved for My timing.  I AM bringing the mountains down and raising the valleys to rid the stumbling stones in My holy highway, where My glory shall be revealed to all flesh.  Yes all that is flesh withers and dies, but My Word in your life stands forever.  Stay humble and wait for My timing.

Isa 40:8 NKJV

"Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; 5 The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."  6 The voice said, "Cry out! "And he said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. 7 The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the LORD blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. 8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever."
