The works of idols of gold and silver realize not these idols can not do a thing for them. The idols of silver and gold might have legs, arms, mouth, ears and eyes, but they can not walk, their hands can not handle a thing, they can not talk from the throat, they can not ear a sound or see a thing. The idols of heathens have stories, and legends that may bring earthly wisdom, but they have no power to enable a person to change when asked.

This week I been thinking along the lines of changes in my own life even in the past few years. Some good and some bad. I do not like bad changes that come that need to be done away with. Sometimes it called doing spring cleaning of the mindset, heart and soul. It is a cleaning God does through His Spirit, but also by His Word. The Lord is our help and our shield throughout life. Jesus promised the Father would send the comfort of the Holy Spirit in John 14. Yet to understand the power of the Holy Spirit is to understand that His existence as always been. Jesus came to usher in the Gentiles, to bring hope to Israel through prophesy, and to bring hope to every generation to come to those who chose to trust in him. Nothing changed in the fact of trusting God, Son/Word, Holy Spirit. When one puts in remember that Jesus is the fulfillment of the spirit of prophesy, as well as the word of God that became flesh and dwelt among us, the understanding how God is eternal reigns from Old to New Testament, despite laws of the government that ever changing even in our own world.

God is our protector. If we stumble in faith and go even a time period of unfaithfulness to God, He is still our shield. Hezekiah learn this as he laid on his death bed, that God remembered his youth. God was waiting for Hezekiah to call out to him. God may be protecting us, and even waking us up to protect. Even with Hezekiah boasting of Israel wealth to the heathen nations around him, the trouble Israel would endure would not be in his time. As long as Israel trusted in God, there was a shield around their nation, to a point. The point occurred when corruption had become to great in their land and the hearts of the majority of people no longer served God.

God’s shield and help comes from the Holy Spirit who speaks to our hearts all truths, even prophesy. Yet our inward struggle of man is to rely on self and not help from God. I believe all things are possible to those that trust in God. Yet the reality not all things are of God we ask for help with. That is usually when the door is slammed shut. God’s help comes not in our time table, but His. He has the ability to raise us up or us to see the enemy defeated. The earth was created for God’s people and not for the children of the devil. Devil will not last but a short time. God people will be lifted up to see the wrath of God on his enemies.

Dear Heavenly Father help us to trust in you, in all situations. Help us to trust in your word. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
