Insight...
I am sitting here on the beautiful beach on the Fox Island, WA. It is right off the bridge road. I hear lots of busy traffic noise on the road, and yet, I also hear seagulls singing and the sound of the calm water. It is about 50F today, unreal for January to be as warm as this. I walked back and forth over the bridge, praying for the lost and for Tribal Bridge. Every time I see a bridge, or go over a bridge, it reminds me to pray for Tribal Bridge and declare Psalm 24. This is the word that God has given for Tribal Bridge.
I just saw a big newspaper headline, UNREAL, about the recent Seahawk football game. It reminded me that “With God, all things are possible” even a last-minute victory.
Today I also read my friend's update letter that asked us to pray for refugee camps established as a result of the Ukraine and Syrian wars. These people are living in the tents, walking on the mud with shoes and without shoes. They are all desperate. But God is their hope.
I also heard from my hometown about a gold mining company, owned by Canadians, who are illegally trying to rob our community. There is injustice, corruption and greed on one side and yet the other side is saying that they intend to keep the dignity of this historic and sacred land for the next generation and the world. The Mongolian people just had a peaceful rally in front of the government palace in Ulaanbaatar, capital city.
Please join us in prayer: God have your way among us and bring your justice and expose the truth.
I also often hear how our Native American young people and families struggle and are going through loss and accidents in their families... suicide, alcohol problems, hopelessness and depression.
Even in my family... Recently, my beloved father has abused his beloved wife when he drank...
I wish all these bad things were only a dream. But they are real. I hear God's still small voice... “Come away with me... soar up higher than your circumstances”.
In the midst of all these unreal events, I find my real peace in Christ...
Sometimes I cry out to Him... even I get emotional... even more, I get frustrated about circumstances... But I know, 100%, that there is an altar where I can lay down all of my concerns. He always hears me patiently and helps me to see things through His eyes...
God is REALLY REAL and only He can do the UNREAL!
