Some Observations |
No one escapes the judgement of the Lord. Disguise cannot escape it, bravado cannot escape it, courage cannot escape it, plans and devices, alliances and great navies cannot escape the judgement of the Lord. A random arrow can find its way between the cracks in any armor and fulfill its deadly purpose. No one escapes the judgement of the Lord. God has His prophets and so do men and so does the devil. The wasted church is full of people of itching ears wanting the Lord to do them good, and to do them good while they continue to do Him wrong. He will not. Yet the false prophets keep promising blessings!
A Call To Action |
God speaks with sharp words, especially to those who are on the run from a let-loose arrow. In mercy, His words shall pierce your heart.

Highlight Verses | 2 Chronicles 20:9-12
'If disaster comes upon us — sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine — we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your name is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.' And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir — whom You would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them and did not destroy them — here they are, rewarding us by coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit. O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You." NKJV
