I will strengthen you; I will help you;<br />I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand." Isa 41:10<br /><br />This was a scripture I personally relied on during the transition period when leaving the Watchtower. They are “trustworthy and true” (Rev 22:6,7) I think of the time when the disciples and Jesus were crossing the lake and a storm arose. Waves spilled into the boat while Jesus slept and fear gripped the disciples. They called out to him to save them; he awoke, and by his word, the storm was abated. He remarked at their “little faith”, asking why they feared so. (Matt 8:23-27) We have been inundated by the Watchtower’s poisonous waters that overwhelmed our conscience desire for pure truth. Jesus is alert to our need of rescue, and can see us safely into the fold, if we have faith in him and the Father. They are there to strengthen and comfort us, when no other person is nearby. No longer is our faith in men who teach lies, or an image professing false salvation. They make it easy, don’t they? Their guidebook is only for the blind, not those who rely fully on the Word. How I wish they weren't so blind.<br /> <br />Now is the true test of our faith. <br /><br /> “Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy” 1 Pet 1:8<br /><br />peelynoreply@blogger.com
