Plodding Is Still Moving

There have been moments in my walk when I have felt like not much was happening. One day upon another, one hour upon another, all seeming to run together. But then, that is a part of the point. They are running on. They are continuing. The future continues to move forward. We continue to add days to our past. We can be happy with the blessing of knowing that as each day moves forward, we are one day closer to the return of our Messiah. We are one day closer to eternity where we will have the final victory. We will be able one day to look back, dry our tears, and see that from the beginning, our Father had a plan for us to live and not die. He had a plan for us each to be made whole with no tears and no regrets any longer.

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

We long for that day.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. We long for You and Your kingdom. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. We ask you forgive us our sins. Heal up Your broken people. Deliver us from the evil that steals from us even as we sleep. Rise up, my King! Come and crush these works in my sight. Let all the people of the earth know that You alone are King, that there is no other King on this earth, and that You alone are the Caregiver for Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
