Marked Changes
This day has marked many changes throughout history and our lives. I wonder if there is just something attached to certain days that pull in change.
In our family we have had amazing miracles on this day, throughout the years, and we have had great losses.
In Israel this day marks many changes and turning points. I am only listing the two most obvious.
In 1099 the Crusaders entered Jerusalem, something monumental on the Biblical timeline. It was opening a door that seemed permanently closed.
In 1967 Israel, not yet 2 decades of officially gaining back their homeland, was in the midst of the 6 Day War. Little did they know they would be victorious in 6 days. Who could have seen that coming? Well, God could, but I would not think that anyone else did.
Is it a coincidence that the rest of Jerusalem came into the Israeli hands on this day in 1967? Was the war that the enemy thought would wipe out Israel, really a way for Israel to regain the rest of Jerusalem that should have been granted to them?
God works in mysterious ways. Even as the enemy schemes destruction, God establishes His own plans, thwarting theirs.
As far as June 7th goes:
Was it a coincidence that Israel possessed Jerusalem once again, on the same day that the Crusaders firat entered it 868 years earlier?
I don't believe in coincidences. If there is enough of a reason to call something a coincidence, there is ample reason to say it was not.
It makes me realize that God will never be thwarted, even b6 evil schemers. As Joseph said to brothers who had sold him into slavery, standing before them in the position of power in Pharoah's courts:
"Joseph said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.' And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them."
Genesis 50:19-21
No matter what happens to God's chilsren, He always is working towards our good, even when it does not look like it to us.
The reason that days that we would rejoice over would also hold sorrow, is because Satan would turn any rejoicing into mourning and any joy into sadness.
We must remember that we are in a constant state of spiritual warfare. We are not always the ones on the front line, but the problem is that we really never know when we are. We need to always be ready for the battle, but also trust in God to guide us through each day.
Even though Jesus warns us of the battles to come our way, He also tells us not to worry. He is never unprepared, even if we are!
Stay strong! Jesus already won the war, but you still must battle evil until He vanquishes it in the end!
