The Promise: Revisited
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we professfor HE who promised is faithful."
On April 10, I wrote A Divine Promise :
"Truth is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.
He saw that there was no one,
He was appalled that there was no one to intervene;
so His own arm worked salvation for Him,
and His own righteousness sustained Him.
He put on righteousness as His breastplate,
and the helmet of salvation on His head;
He put on the garments of vengeance
and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.
According to what they have done,
so will He repay wrath to His enemies
and retribution to His foes;
He will repay the islands their due."
Isaiah 59:15-18

This was an unequivocal promise that God gave to me a few years ago. It was reiterated to me on April 10 (some sort of a reminder, I guess) so I decided to write about it. Little did I know then that His words would soon take form before my eyes.
Yesterday, I got another validation.
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess for HE who promised is faithful." (Hebrews 10:23)
By an ironic twist of fate, the hunters have become the hunted. A bittersweet near-end (or is it just a bend) to a tragic and melodramatic quest. Poetic justice, maybe.
This much is quite clear to me now: I am just to sit back and relax.. and enjoy His show.
Everything happens for a reason. All for God's glory!
a pocketful of sunshine to everyone!!!Blessings to all
