God separated the one from the many. Before he could use any of those men and women we read about he had to set them apart.
Not just from a few either but often from everyone. He had to put them in a place where they would learn that He was all they need.
As God has been walking with me through some things in my past, I have begun to see how the “loss” of my most dearest friends had to be for me to be where I am today.
I consider the life lived before. The people who were my closest friends. I had to be away from those who were always my rock so I can see who my true Rock was.
I consider what I know of these friends today. I know I could not continue to be a part of their world. God made a way for me to have power to pray for their salvation.
It breaks my heart to see so many of them lost. Even more that they are blind to how lost they are. It God says He draws those to him who have a heart that seeks after him.
Just just the other day and worship service, I saw be very old and very dear friend of mine on his knees at an altar.
Perhaps this is a sign … Of coming revival. A reminder power of prayer.
The prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
I do not consider myself a righteous man … I know my righteousness is but filthy rags.
Yet God is good. Always. He hears and He responds to our prayers.
If we will pray and seek his face and turn from our wicked ways THEN He here’s and he heals and forgives.
I cannot even imagine what God’s plan is for these lost friends from long ago. But I do believe that he is doing a work within every one of them. I may never know or see but I will trust in the Lord.
How great is our God. How amazing opportunities is His love.
