May is almost over and
we close in on the summer already. Hard to believe. But we push forward longing
for the return of our Lord as it gets closer. Thank you for remember us in your
prayers. I pray also that you be blessed and enjoy the peace of Jesus today. It’s
good to praise Him.

Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict those four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
Genesis 15:12-14
The Bible says that the Lord does nothing without first revealing it to his prophets. This being the case we explore the Word as one great mystery which slowing reveals itself as you read it and time goes on. God’s promises to His people are sure and will always come be fulfilled, we see this in the case of God’s covenant made with Abraham.
Our Lord knows the end from the beginning. He knew when you would be born, what you would do with your life, and how you would be remembered, before the world was even created. He spoke to Abraham and told him that his descendants would be captive in Egypt for four hundred years. This prophetic message was carried down through the generations so you can imagine around the time of Moses there would have been great paranoia for the pharaoh. The chosen people would be expecting to be saved from their bondage.
The Father knows all things and can see your life in its fullness. He is never surprised by any event that takes place, but is ready for all things that come. Such promises God gives to Israel and all His people should comfort us in our days. When it seems like sometimes He is a long way off, you can know certainly that He is close and is walking with you.
