I'm not being silent on what is going on around us. I just didn't want to let emotion speak over reason. Too many times I've spouted out in rage and all I did was make what was really bad... even worse. I had to take time to process my feelings before I spoke. I had to take time to battle my flesh and hear from the spirit of God. Isaiah 26:3 says "You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You." And there in lies our solution or maybe just MY solution, I don't know. No matter what's going on around me, keep looking up. I won't find my solution in something that someone else does. Not the government, not the police, not my black or white brothers and sisters. I have to keep looking up. Keep looking to God for answers and a way to respond. What does God's word say about this? What does God's word instruct about this? What is God telling ME about this? Keep looking up.
God says he will protect me. He ALWAYS has. God says he will keep me. He ALWAYS has. My children aren't sick. Even the cops who intended to hurt me COULDN'T as God always protects me. So I speak peace and I educate. All hate is based in fear. Our society has engrained in us the belief that Black people will rise up one day and destroy everyone and everything that tried to destroy them. You got a generation of people that grew up marginalizing and oppressing others and they fear that they will suffer that same oppression. And they are scared!!! You got people who are so afraid of this race war that they say is coming, that they keep trying to start one. Dylan Roof shot up that church in South Carolina to start a race war. The Bible talks about wars and rumors of wars and this signals the end times. This is where we are. Our focus can't be on what we fear. It has to be on the only thing that can save us - and that is the blood of Jesus and our belief in God. That blood washes away sin and creates in a you a PURE spirit. the Bible says we should walk like children of light - like we have NEVER sinned. That's the power of the blood. I don't care what you've done, Jesus is your redeemer. Turn your heart to God and then you fall under his protection. You don't have to fear anymore. Stop worrying about the coming days. Give your life to Christ and let him take care of everything. Keep looking up.
