The Rock of Ages

By Anita Mondragon:
 
Do you ever feel the oppression of the whispers of hate that come against you?  At times, the words of accusation  from the enemy are so thick and heavy, you fall beneath the load of it all.  I admit I do.  But the Bible says, “No weapon that is formed against me will prosper…”  It goes one to say that, “every tongue that rises against me in judgment GOD will condemn”.  That verse is found in Isa. 54:17
 
This is something we all as Believers need to remember!  The persecution of the modern day church is just beginning here in America.  Up to this present time, we have had the right to worship and speak the truth of God’s Word…but those days are coming to an end.  Our rights are disappearing one by one every single day!
 
This is not a political view, it was written years ago in the Bible.  At the end times, the Believer WILL suffer at the hands of the god of this world and his false prophet.  
 
The end is near.  The antichrist and all his cohorts are about to be revealed.  Those whispers of oppression and hate will soon be shouted in the streets!  False accusations will become the norm for the followers of Christ.  But God Almighty Himself will step in and condemn those that persecute His children! 
 
It’s time to remember God’s promises.  Keep the Faith!  Stay true to God’s Word!  Don’t fall beneath the load of oppression!  God WILL vindicate His people! 
 
STAND FIRM on the ROCK OF AGES!  For though we tremble in these times of uncertainty, HE NEVER trembles under us!  Remember the words to that old hymn…
 
Rock Of Ages
Cleft For Me
Let Me Hide Myself In Thee!
 
Run to the ROCK which is Jesus Christ.  He’s a shelter in the storms of life! 


I Will Run the Race

I will set my face to the rising sun
Of this blessed day, I will run.
 
With my Grace Armor on, I will take my place
And run like I’ve never run!
 
Although the prize is given not only to the quick,
But also to the lame, sad and the sick.
 
With God’s help, I can win this race,
With endurance filled with “His” grace.
 
With anticipation of the prize
Steadfast in my heart,
 
I will run with “Loves seed”, that was planted
At the start of the life that was given to me.
 
Yoked to Him, with peace and joy
That each morning brings,
 
I can face this day as I run and I sing
The praises meant for my King!
