The hidden half of domestic violence
And We Shall Mount Up On Wings...
Most of us have had storms in our life. Many in this club have been in and ARE in storms that are beyond our imagination. Many others, whom have not been able to reach in time, have not survived their storm. And again, I have an idea that I have no idea of where we are heading as I sit here typing...but my heart is crying out for so many that have not heard of Shattered Men...and the hope that I trust we instill through the message here...Jesus Christ, The Prince of Peace. Yes the one that can calm the storm.... Most of the time, He chooses to calm the child.
Before I go on, I urge YOU that if you know anyone that is in the midst of a
storm of life, PLEASE invite him or her here. It is not my intent to build a
large
number, but to reach out to those that may not be able to survive the next
thunderclap....the next lighting bolt and to help them mount up on wings and
sore above the storm.
At times we can look out in the sky,
ahead of a brewing storm and see a speck in the sky. If we had binoculars we
would see that it is a lone eagle, flying
right toward the storm. My friend, we most often feel like we are going through
the storm alone too, and many are. But let's keep looking at this eagle. As it
is approaching this major storm front, it spreads its wings as wide as possible.
It turns a little here and a little there. Then suddenly, we see it
rising...rising without flapping its wings. Still rising...ABOVE the storm. You
see, as it turned one way and then the other, it was looking for an
updraft...something to help
it RISE ABOVE THE STORM.
When it found one, it rose and flew
safely ABOVE the storm. My friend,
are you coming to...or in this storm? Spread your wings and catch this
updraft...His name is JESUS...He will lift you above this storm, or carry you
through it...as He calms and protects the child.
1. Great is Thy faithfulness, O
God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
Refrain:
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord unto me.
2. Summer and winter and spring-time and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Refrain
3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Refrain
Isaiah 40
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting
God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is
weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he
increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men
shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and
they shall walk, and not faint.
DADDY, me again....Daddy, right now I
am thinking about so many that have stories just like we have been seeing posted
here more and more but these people do not have any place to go and they are
facing the worse storms in their life...all alone, and Daddy, some of these will
not survive the next lightening bolt. PLEASE Daddy, help us reach these men and
women so they can learn of YOU and then
spread wings and sore above the storm of their life...Let it be the perfect
storm...in that it will lead them to YOU so You can calm the child. Empty me
of me...and fill me with You...so I can listen to You better to reach more for
You. Daddy Please break me and mold me after Your will...I never want to
have anyone say they did not meet You because I did not listen to You and obey
You nor do I want to step out ahead of You and push doors open that You do not
open. Please guide me and the leadership here so we follow You.
