Hi John,<\/span><\/p>\n

When I got up this morning, I was reading in the Psalms. A few scriptures really stuck out to me, in Psalm 120: 6-7 and 121:1-3. In Psalm 120: 6-7 it says:<\/span><\/p>\n

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I thought about some of the things you and we have been put through. I am learning more and more everyday that there are people who just hate peace. From where I am and what I feel in my own spirit, it\u2019s hard to think that people really don\u2019t want peace, but I am learning how true that really is. I can\u2019t even imagine what Jesus must have felt while walking around in Jerusalem, feeling all the hatred and knowing what was to come for him. Like the scriptures says:<\/span><\/p>\n

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He was the light of the world, making a way for those who loved God, his Father; even though they did not know how it was going to end up for the Son, or even that he was the Son. Some few could not help but to believe him and feel the peace and the rest that was to come to them. They felt something they just could not dismiss; they loved God and peace and hoped in the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

That was at the end of Psalm 120, and when I started reading chapter 121, whooee, I knew how Jesus felt, with every righteous person at that time:<\/span><\/p>\n

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.<\/span>
\n My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.<\/span>
\n He will not suffer thy foot to be moved. He that keepeth thee will not<\/span>
\n slumber.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He knows everything that is going on. He is not asleep. If I and we lift up our eyes unto the hills whence cometh our help, there is nothing and nobody on this planet that the righteous will not over come. “He will not suffer thy foot to be moved.” He is already victorious; let our hearts cry out to him from the bottom of our souls. If we do, we will reign with him forever. That is our hope in the day we are looking for, and we will obtain it if we stay wise and do our work. Our God Is Great!<\/span><\/p>\n
