What is all this juice? Gerard Manley Hopkins Spring Nothing is so beautiful as spring – When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing; The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling. What is all this juice and all this joy? A strain of the earth’s sweet being in the beginning In Eden garden. – Have, get, before it cloy, Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning, Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy, Most, O maid’s child, thy choice and worthy the winning. Source: The Gospel in Gerard Manley Hopkins Hopkins emerged after seven years of silence as a convulsively original master of English verse.

Daily Prayer for April 29 Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:9–10, NIV Lord our God, we look to you in our many needs, in the distress of our hearts, in the anguish of the whole world. We beseech you, let light come to your people everywhere on earth to bring them your help and your victory. Remember the wretched, the sick, the poor. Let your living strength come to them so that they can bear their sufferings and hold out joyfully to the end. Remember us all, O Lord our God, for we all need you. We are weak and poor and cannot go forward alone. Your Spirit must help us. May the Savior come to us, and may his grace and his power be born in our hearts. Amen.

A Strong Redeemer Friday, April 29 | Jeremiah 50:1–10 On the Go? Listen to Today's Devotional American philosopher and theologian Jonathan Edwards once preached: “In that He is God, He is worthy to be sovereign over all things. Sometimes men are the owners of more than they are worthy of. But God is not only the owner of the whole world, as all is from and dependent on Him, but such is His perfection, the excellency and dignity of His nature, that He is worthy of sovereignty over all.” Because God is the only One in charge, not even Babylon, the superpower of Jeremiah’s day, could oppose Him or escape His wrath. The nation that God used to accomplish His purposes as an instrument of His judgment would now come under His judgment. Babylon would be conquered by a nation from the north (vv. 2–3). This was fulfilled in 539 B.C. by Persia, that is, the Medes and the Persians. Just as with the gods of lesser nations, the gods of Babylon would be overthrown: “Bel will be put to shame, M

How to Seek God Our longing for the Lord is cultivated through intentional time and effort. April 29, 2022 Psalm 105:1-8 Yesterday we learned what it means to seek God, but many of us don’t know where to begin. Start with the Scriptures and prayer. Set aside time each day for meditating on God’s Word: Listen for His voice, slowly digest what you read, talk to the Lord, ask Him questions, and apply what you learn. Don’t just read the Bible—study it, perhaps starting with a verse or short passage. Some of you may say, “I’ve never been into that.” My advice: Get into it! The deep things of God don’t just drop into our brains; they are placed there through diligent study. Hunger for the Lord is an acquired taste. The more we pursue Him, the greater our craving will be. However, if we ignore God, what little hunger we have will diminish even further. Do you find this last statement describes your experience? Then ask the Lord to whet your appetite for Him, and follow through by beco

Our Raging Tempest Kahlil Gibran Jesus was not a bird with broken wings. He was a raging tempest who broke all crooked wings. He feared not his persecutors nor his enemies. Free and brave and daring he was. He defied all despots and oppressors. He saw the contagious pustules and amputated them. He muted Evil and he crushed Falsehood and he choked Treachery.

Daily Prayer for April 30 Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:41-42, NIV Dear Father in heaven, we lift our eyes to you. You allow earthly events to follow their own course, and even your own Son had to suffer and die. But your plan is already prepared and you will act in our time according to your will. We pray, “Your will be done, your will!” In the midst of all the suffering let your love be revealed in many places, wherever it is possible for people to understand it. You have always protected us; protect us still. You have done much for us and we want to praise your name. We want to be people who always acknowledge you and praise you, for you will never let any be lost who hope in you. Be with us this night, help us, and send us the strength we need to serve you, also in our everyday life. Amen.

Lessons Learned Saturday, April 30 | Jeremiah 52:1–11 On the Go? Listen to Today's Devotional Baruch was a faithful friend of Jeremiah, as well as his scribe. He was the secretary who wrote down his prophecies, often putting his own life at risk! He even received his own individual prophecy from the Lord, in which God promised him that his life would be preserved (Jer. 45). Baruch was likely the person who wrote Jeremiah chapter 52, since the end of chapter 51 explicitly says, “The words of Jeremiah end here” (51:64). This appendix again recounts the fall of Jerusalem because it was such a significant event in the nation’s history as well as in Jeremiah’s prophetic ministry (see April 22). Parts of this account are nearly identical to the one found in 2 Kings 24–25. The spiritual reason for the fall of Jerusalem is found near the beginning of today’s reading: “It was because of the LORD’s anger [at their sin] that all this happened to Jerusalem and Judah, and in the end he thrus

Nearing Midnight: God’s Egress System – Terry James - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ Harkening back fifty plus years ago to my time in the United States Air Force, memories of the jet fighter trainers we were responsible for maintaining further stimulates thoughts on Bible prophecy. The words of Dr. J. Vernon McGee come to the forefront of that time a half-century ago. Dr. McGee once commented in answer to the naysayers about him being an “escapist” in regard to his pre-Trib view of Bible prophecy. He answered the detractors in his typically southern, cornpone, yet brilliantly humorous way. The arguments of those who poo-pooed the Pre-Trib Rapture usually went something like this. “Those who preach that that Christians will somehow avoid being part of the Tribulation are pie-in-the-sky escapists. They are preaching and teaching false doctrine. They just hope to escape that terrible seven years of God’s judgment and wrath.” Dr. McGee would say somethin

The Rapture Cannot Happen at the Same Time as the Second Coming – Jonathan Brentner - https://www.jonathanbrentner.com/https/jonathan-brentner-g8fgsquarespacecom/config/2022/1/24/the-rapture-cannot-happen-at-the-time-of-the-second-coming In my previous post in this series, we established the Rapture as a biblical event; we have a firm scriptural basis for the series of closely related events that constitute our “blessed hope” (Titus 2:11-14). This next step consists of presenting the Rapture in a persuasive and cogent way that establishes it as unique event. Many insist that the Rapture happens when Jesus returns to earth, especially those who falsely dismiss biblical references to the Tribulation as allegory and deny that a time of God’s wrath is coming to our world. You will not convince those who belong to this group of deniers that Rapture is unique, but for those who interpret prophetic texts in the Bible according to the intent of the author, you will be able to make a soli

The Rapture Is a Biblical Event – Jonathan Brentner - https://www.jonathanbrentner.com/https/jonathan-brentner-g8fgsquarespacecom/config/2022/1/17/the-rapture-is-a-biblical-event Early in the twentieth century, belief in the Rapture became a mainstay at Bible-believing churches in America and throughout the free world. Pastors boldly encouraged their flocks with the hope of Jesus’ imminent appearing. Unfortunately, much has changed during the past twenty-five years. The word “Rapture” has become taboo in most churches, even in many that claim to believe in the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture. Last year, I listened to a former pastor of mine preach on 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. He avoided all references to Jesus’ return for His church and said nothing whatsoever about verse 17. He changed our biblical hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing to a far distant resurrection that does little, if anything, to encourage the saints during these perilous times I often ask myself this ques

Daily Devotion: When Questions Go Unanswered - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. —James 4:14 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/when-questions-go-unanswered/ - Listen Sometimes it’s hard to understand why we have to suffer. It doesn’t seem fair. We wonder, “Why I am going through this when other people aren’t?” Maybe you’ve thought, “Why am I single when all my friends are married?” or “Why can’t we have children when my friend has five children?” or “Why do I have this horrible illness while all of my friends are healthy?” One day all of our questions will be answered. One day God will restore in Heaven what we’ve lost in this life. The Bible promises restoration for people who have suffered. Speaking of great men and women of faith, world changers, Hebrews 11:35 says, “They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection” (NLT). We

Daily Jot: Biden Administration institutionalizing religious tyranny - Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com The Biden Administration is practicing both medical and religious tyranny. And you had better take notice. Dozens of federal agencies are gearing up to establish lists and collect information on people who requested medical or religious accommodations to avoid Biden’s unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandate. On October 4, 2021, the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force issued guidance to federal agencies regarding collecting information for such accommodations. On January 11, the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency published intent in the Federal Register to create the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia Privacy Act system to track religious exemption requests. It appears that this “Privacy Act” system is anything but privacy and given that it is tied in with the legal system, there is no doubt that such a list is aimed at future intimidation by the governm

Nearing Midnight: Putin Comes to the Aid of Kazakhstan – Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ It can be very easy to get Russian troops to come to the aid of your nation. Once you invite them in, it may be difficult to get them to leave. Syria began fighting opposition groups in 2011, and by 2012 the conflict had expanded into a full-fledged civil war. Russia’s military intervention in Syria began in September 2015 after a request by the regime for military aid against rebel groups. Moscow deployed troops and military equipment to an airbase near Latakia. Since then, it has carried out airstrikes targeting opposition groups. Putin said several times that his troops were only going to be in Syria for a limited time. He even said at one point they were in the process of leaving the country. The Russian government announced its troops would be deployed to Syria permanently at the end of December 2017. It is estimated that there are 4,000 to 5,000

The Russia-China Axis - How America Responds Could Set Up New World Order – Soren Kern - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=5177 As Russia continues its troop build-up along the border with Ukraine, China has markedly increased its military activity near Taiwan. The twin geopolitical flashpoints, separated by 8,000 kilometers (5,000 miles), are raising concerns that Russia and China could coordinate or conduct concurrent military offensives that the United States and its allies may find difficult to stop. A failure to deter Russia and China -- deterrence, especially military pre-positioning near the area under threat, is the least costly way to avoid war -- would deal a potentially crushing blow to the post-World War II liberal international order. That system -- whose principles and norms, including adherence to the rule of law, respect for human rights and the promotion of liberal democracy, as well as preserving the sanctity of territorial sovereignty
