Today will be short, sweet and to the point…
I’ve intimated previously that I feel lie we’re in an “in-between” moment, a place where we are neither moving back, nor making forward progress – at least that’s how feels, but we (I) must never forget that it’s not how things look in the physical that determines the outcome, but the God to whom we bow the knee.
This week, a dear friend shared that he felt the Lord was telling him that we’re in a “Jonah moment”. You’ll recall the tale of Jonah and the great fish. This stuck me because it completely aligned with what I’ve been experiencing – a strange form of limbo that, quite frankly I don’t like very much.
To be clear, I didn’t take this – and still don’t – to mean that we’ll see a turn-around of any form within three days. I take this more as the principle of waiting for the proper time. God had the great fish vomit Jonah out on the shores of Nineveh on Friday… Dagon, the fish god Friday. You believe in coincidence? I don’t! The fact is, the people of Nineveh were Dagon worshipers. Having Jonah pop out of a giant fish preaching repentance before the one true God certainly had an impact – so much so that the people heeded the message and repented, much to Jonah’s chagrin.
Now, I’m not saying I, or we are Jonah. I certainly don’t care much for the culture these days, and have more than my fair share of angry moments as events transpire – but I don’t wish ill on anyone over it… mostly. I do know that the revival we’ve been praying for – real revival, one not made of smoke and mirrors, but of the manifesting power of almighty God – is coming. I don’t know when it will manifest in earnest, but I know it’s coming. In the meantime, all we can d is wait.
Something smell fishy to you?
Until next time,
