Is my face the same at dawn as at sundown?  Do I wear a crown of humility, shame, petulance or pride and show my family that same face throughout each day?  Am I the Spirit-directed preacher on the street corner where it cost me social coin or does inspiration wither?  Will I rebuke when necessary, love always and encourage all to become strong in the Lord and the power of “His Might”?  Will I weep at His feet when He shows me what I could have been for the Kingdom or will I beam with delight at His appreciation for well-directed effort?  Am I a sheep following my Shepherd or a wolf looking for opportune weakness?  Do I have Holy-boldness when proclaiming His Word, reclaiming His land or instructing my family?  What sort of action provides evidence of my faith?

Do you feel Him near?  My heart says that imminent means today until He shows me otherwise.  The harvest is ripe, the nations declaring their stance and the leaf begins to curl after the bud has born fruit.  Looking at Biblical proclamation of the things to come, I see that although the actors have not yet taken the stage, everything is positioned for curtain’s rise.  Russia teamed with Iran, Saudi on the sidelines, Africa teaming and Turkey thirsting for return to the Ottoman glory of days gone bye.  The runners are in the blocks and the starter’s pistol raised.  Even the face of America has been transfigured by promised judgment for His that go astray.  We are becoming a homo-sexual nation as payment for our negligence.  Our leaders can no longer find their way to righteous thinking strangled by the morass of a misdirected majority and personal pursuit.  We have become a nation of “Existors” simply counting days in a life with out course or direction.  Gone is the surety and abundance which comes to those who trust in the Almighty, gone is dependence on eternity and gone is our national identity based upon our faith, thanks and obedience to the creator Who blessed us.  Yes the times, time and half a time is nigh.  Soon we shall see the outcome to wickedness, mockery and inaction.

Will I be that same man who boldly declares his allegiance to Christ when eating with my Brothers as when preaching to the proud?  We shall see in this day, which may prophetically be the only one that I have left.  Praise God in all His Glory.  Bask in His grace and authority.  Honor Him with my actions, words and worship.  Love God with all my heart, mind, soul and treasure.  Weather the storm under His Mighty Wings.  I stake my claim to the everlasting on the surety of His promise.  Jesus my King.  Amen.
