Guardian of the secret weapon


Carefully protecting. Making sure it has everything it needs. Learning exactly what makes it tick and how it responds different ways to different stimuli. Cleaning and caring for it.
Everyone else may be occupied but her assignment is the secret weapon.


A few days ago, and for a few months now for that matter, I've struggled with what many moms struggle with. I was watching the productivity of others around me. I was watching my husband learn new things in preparedness... HAM radio, canning, etc. I was watching others respond in disasters and help pass things out to people that were in need. Even seeing ministry opportunities that would be done easier without a baby on the hip. I was really struggling with my contribution to society, to my value to those around me. It wasn't a hard struggle. Just a every-few-days-wrestle. I understand that being a mom is the most important thing you could do but hearing that and having a heart understanding of that is very different.

So the other day as I was watching others learn things, I felt like the Lord whispered something to me. "It's like you're the guardian of a secret weapon." And suddenly, that changed everything. I am the keeper of a secret weapon in the arsenal. Others may learn how to make food in preparedness but this secret weapon I am guarding may someday pray to multiply that food. The prayers that my son may someday pray could change the fate of nations.  This little secret weapon may look small, may look unimportant but the people he will impact one day will change the population count of heaven. Satan may try to make me feel unimportant but I'm sure he now has fear in his eyes at the determination I have to make this kid the greatest secret weapon in God's army.

I love when God changes our paradigm.

What if Jesus meant what He said? - "If you love me..."

The thought occurred to me today.   What if Jesus meant what He said? He said a lot.   A whole lot. And if He is God, then we should listen to what He said. If He is our Lord, then we should listen to what He said. I want to go on a journey of exploring what He said.   He is the Word and He is God.   I think what He said is worth exploring and worth living by.   The first thing I want to look at is in John 14.   This will give the premise for the entire journey of seeking out what Jesus said.   Because if Jesus meant this… then the rest of what He said is VERY important. Jhn 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” Jhn 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Jhn 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come ...

A thought

There are easy days. And then there are difficult days. This is my reassurance: God is constant and He is always faithful. “If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” – 2 Timothy 2:13

Ezekiel 14:12-23

I read this passage last night. I have seen a verse or two about it... but the entirety of it gripped me when I read it. I had never thought about it as a principle. "When a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness..." Then I was blown away by the men God used as examples. Noah, Daniel, Job. Men whose lives have a tremendous impact on the end-time saints. To be the only ones delivered in your righteousness. What was it like to watch an entire culture that God was not pleased with and see his judgment poured out accordingly. Righteous men - Noah, Daniel, Job - who stood, even when they stood alone. And yes, all three of those men, stood in their righteousness alone. They all faced scoffing and hatred of them. There are lessons in all of these men's lives. God judges nations. He judges lands that sin against the Lord in persistent unfaithfulness. But there are righteous ones in the midst of judgment. Eze 14:12-23 The word of the LORD came again to me...
