Break through

   As I sit in my office pondering what I am going to write I am reminded of God's faithfulness and ability.  There have been many times in my life where things seem to be stalled and not going anywhere.  It is in these times I reflect on God's faithfulness in the past and His word.  Baal Perazim is a word used in the Old Testament to described how God is the God of the Breakthrough.  There is probably no time in recent history where the church and the people of God need a break through as we do today.  Apathy, lethargy and sloth seem to rule the day.  The church seems almost weak and inept in the face of societal forces but that is really the farthest thing from the truth.  God is still moving by His Spirit and our best days are yet to come.  God's timing is the real issue here.  God has a perfect timing and our responsibility is to be faithful until He has all things work out.  Do not get discouraged or distracted I tell myself constantly.  Wait and see the salvation of our God.  Break through is coming.
