A Post From My Wife

Encouragement From My Wife

On our Prophezine site my wife has her own blog. Recently she posted a great post and I thought that I would share it with all of you here.

Be Encouraged!
By Tracye Gano

It has been a while since I have posted to the blog. I have been very busy with our Wisdom Farms website. I hope you all will take the time and give it a look. www.wisdomfarms.com

This morning I was reading Spurgeon's Morning Devotional. It was a very encouraging piece.

Ray and I do much research and reporting on the trends and news of the day in light of Bible prophecy and as we grow ever closer to our Lord and Saviour's blessed return, this world grows darker and darker with each passing moment.

Daily we see people doing, accepting and condoning things that were unheard of 30 years ago. There are wars all around us. Weather is running rampant. People are growing cold. We see people who profess to be Christian's living their best life now with little or no heeding of Scriptures.

We live in a day and age where it is increasingly looked down upon to stand on the Word of God alone. People call good evil and evil good, they revel in the darkness and wallow in the worlds pits, all the while saying God does not see, He is only love, He does not judge.

I could go on and on with the ills of today that we see all around us, but you get my point.

But something that those of us who truly belong to the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ can take great comfort in and rest in is that this is not our home. We are just pilgrims passing through. We should hearken unto the voice of wisdom.

Spurgeon's devotion today spoke to this and I found it to be very encouraging.

Here it is for your encouragement...

"Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil." --Proverbs 1:33

Divine love is rendered conspicuous when it I shines in the midst of judgments. Fair is that lone star which smiles through the rifts of the thunder clouds; bright is the oasis which blooms in the wilderness of sand; so fair and so bright is love in the midst of wrath.

When the Israelites provoked the Most High by their continued idolatry, He punished them by withholding both dew and rain, so that their land was visited by a sore famine; but while He did this, He took care that His own chosen ones should be secure. If all other brooks are dry, yet shall there be one reserved for Elijah; and when that fails, God shall still preserve for him a place of sustenance; nay, not only so, the Lord had not simply one "Elijah," but He had a remnant according to the election of grace, who were hidden by fifties in a cave, and though the whole land was subject to famine, yet these fifties in the cave were fed, and fed from Ahab's table too by His faithful, God-fearing steward, Obadiah.

Let us from this draw the inference, that come what may, God's people are safe. Let convulsions shake the solid earth, let the skies themselves be rent in twain, yet amid the wreck of worlds the believer shall be as secure as in the calmest hour of rest. If God cannot save His people under heaven, He will save them in heaven. If the world becomes too hot to hold them, then heaven shall be the place of their reception and their safety. Be ye then confident, when ye hear of wars, and rumours of wars. Let no agitation distress you, but be quiet from fear of evil. Whatsoever cometh upon the earth, you, beneath the broad wings of Jehovah, shall be secure. Stay yourself upon His promise; rest in His faithfulness, and bid defiance to the blackest future, for there is nothing in it direful for you. Your sole concern should be to show forth to the world the blessedness of hearkening to the voice of wisdom.

In His Service,

Ray
