Hold On

 We all come to earth the same way; from the great creative Spirit called God and Yahawah, through the matrix of the womb of a woman. And each man and woman is given a work to do by God.  A key work that he gives us is to obey him by keeping his laws, commandments, and the instructions for our individual lives. We don't leave this earth without doing his will. 

Man's journey is to discover his purpose from God and to do his will. To the righteous this means searching out the things, yes even the deep things, of God- his laws, his judgments, the works he has done in the earth, and what he intends to do in the end. And while we search these things in the records He left us, called the Bible, the upright ones execute God's laws daily- what Christ and all the prophets called Love. To these God promised to give them the earth and all the stars, with everything in them for their reward of faith in him. 

But, to get this reward of living a holy life, the upright ones will and must be tested by hardships,  contradiction,  and sufferings at the hands of sinners; who hate and despise them and God because they live a holy life. 

Why Is this? Should not the holy life be peace, love, and happiness once you convert and follow God, especially if you come to the understanding of his Son: Christ the king of Israel, and of all kings and lords? No. The state of euphoria is not the outcome of living the holy life, but a sober mind that understands times and seasons. A mind that knows God tries every son and daughter that comes to him, to know if they are worthy and sincere in their devotion to him, or if they only worship him for status and reward. Therefore, if we choose to serve the lord, let us prepare our minds and soul for temptations ( Ecclesiasticus 2:1-18 Apocrypha).

If we, that live the holy life, allow fear and the dread of evil men's devices against us move us to depart from our faith, how can we say we truly trusted God. If we fall way, our faith was small and we did not truly believe in God. To these, who fall away, there is no hope among the saints of God. They will be number with the unbelievers and the rebels, who resist God and have surrender to evil. 

But, the true people of God, endure hardship, wars, deceit, and the betrayals of wicked men from among us and from the outside world. We live by faith; knowing God, will not forsake us or leave us in our hour of temptation; even unto death, we are victorious, because we hope in the living God. We know God is compassionate, merciful, faithful,  forgives our sins, and saves in times of trouble. Thus, we are supernatural in this sense, because we have reconnect with our original source of power and integrity- Yahawah, God our great power and creator.

We endure. We hold on. We rise again and again in every generation, till He comes to take us home once again to Zion, to the kingdom of God.

Shalam,
