Acts 2:20
There is so much today that would break my heart if I would let it. So much suffering that on some levels there would seem to be no god at all, especially not a holy God above us. But then you glimpse the tiny little things that cause you to wonder and ask… “Was that god?”
There are so many things that would drown out the voice of Him who calls our names that we are in danger at all times of not hearing a word He says, not seeing the miracles He performs, not feeling the love that He pours out. The evil is growing, it is prowling and growling and stalking it’s prey… you… me… all of us. If he could only get us to doubt that what we hear isn’t really God, or what we saw wasn’t really a miracle, then he has us. If he can get us to shed our own blood, ruin our own lives, sacrifice our own beliefs, then we are truly his slave.
He tried to destroy our protector 2000 years ago and in the moment that he thought he won he was fully defeated and it angered him so deeply that his sole desire is to tear each of us into terrible tiny useless and ineffective little pieces. We are the hated, despised, loathed and we have become the hunted. We are the prey.
The blood moon is coming and as it makes its way the enemy of our soul will stop at nothing to make us believe a little less, pray with less passion, seek rarely and love conditionally… all only shadows of the real power He has given us. If he can do those things, though we “may” be saved our treasure will be small because we were not a true light in the darkness of this world. We were too busy listening to him who binds our minds to hear Him who frees all of us if given the chance.
How will He find you on that great and glorious day?

Thought provoking. I read it several times.
Thanks… it needs a lot of editing and organizing but I am not supposed to do that. LOL Which is really hard for this girl 🙂 Thanks for coming by and reading!
I agree very thought provoking! Great juxtaposition of the battle between good and evil with the symbolism of the blood moon as the backdrop. Great take on the prompt and it really makes you think about what side you on? Thank you for sharing!
The hunter’s blood red moon makes is an important allegory between evil and good. And by asking us “How will He find you on that great and glorious day?” means we need to assess good and evil with our souls, not just outside.
