I've Got This!

Don’t worry.  I do not rest.  I do not grow weary.  What will happen and how it will happen has been in and on my heart for all time.  Can I be surprised?  Yes, often.  The highs and the lows of humanity, the best of mankind and the worst of mankind, shakes everyone in heaven.  If you could see the spiritual battles going on around you, if you could hear the roar of war beyond your vision, I suspect you would all hit your knees.

Now we have another Christmas. Yours is not a celebration I adore.  I remember well that night when He was born.  So quiet.  There was on that night a bright moon and a brighter star. Few recognized the importance of that birth.  Most gave no attention whatsoever to the tiny cry of a newborn King.  Today you all say, ‘If you know, you know.’  It was like that on the night of His birth.  Heaven knew.  Mary knew.  At His first cries some tilted their heads, paused in the tax collecting and the markets. Something had happened.  That they knew.  There was a sudden surge of hope among the old ones.  And the wise ones.  Those who never followed trends and fashions.  Angels did indeed sing in the heavens.  In that place where the spirit struggles still go forth.  That place is not easily seen nor understood.  It’s outside the reality most of you accept.  So a few saw them.  A few heard the overwhelming joy.  In today’s world it would be breaking news.  Sadly, it would be forgotten tomorrow.  Do you ever wonder why your news gets bigger and louder and more spectacular every day?  Because that’s what it takes to get your attention.

History, for those who take the time to care, once witnessed the birth of a baby who would change every single day that followed His arrival.  And no matter who thinks they are in control, who believes they are the current king of the hill, let Me remind you, that baby became the true King, the One whose name lifts some kingdoms and does away with others.  His name reverberates through commerce and governments and no human plan can possibly defeat Him. Just because most of mankind did not see that momentous birth, and does not recognize the Kingdom He brought forth, that changes nothing. He is still the King.  Angels still rejoice. And I still hold this rebellious world in the palms of My hands.
