This man has not been tried by courts so according to the laws of this land he is still innocent. But this world knows a lot about being unfair. But that is not what I am praying about now.
I am praising God that my brother-in-law did not die in prison unjustly.
I am also praying that his desires to help those who have been pushed down and out that were 'born' while he was detained will continue to mature and bear fruit in God's way.
I am praising God I can now talk to them both on the phone in prayer and encouragement.
I am praying that these experiences will open our eyes and ears more to hearing heart cries of others who need not only a miracle of God but human words to encourage and lift them up when trampled down.
God is looking for 'friends' who will encourage others and raise up the feeble hands and strengthen the feeble knees as in Isaiah 35:3,4
"Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
Say to them[that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not:
behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God
[with] a recompense; he will come and save you."
and repeated in Hebrews 12:12
"Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; "
God is wonderful, merciful, gracious, long-suffering, gentle, easy to be entreated and much more. He is looking for people who will work with Him in such a way that others will get the same idea about God because they have seen those characteristics, those attributes, in folks who say they know God.
It is getting late and I am tired this evening. I stayed the last two nights with a friend's mother who needed companionship during the night. It will be good to sleep all night, Lord willing.
I am also enjoying the peace of this Sabbath, especially the final meeting of the week of prayer at church.
Until we meet again, may God's words of blessing fill your heart and mind with His love.
Bringer of Peace
