Write the Vision

December 10th 2024

I am sitting here with tears crying, saying to God, how am I going to get through this? No one feels my pain from losing a child, and he keeps telling me with his strength. While this is not the Word I have to speak, I want everyone who comes across my work to understand that it’s only the strength and mercy of God that has kept from the day Joshua was killed. While I don’t completely understand, and that is the truth, I would encourage you all to keep seeking God and not let go of him no matter what happens in pray and worship, for he is Kind.

I cry because the pain is real, but God the Messiah, the one spoken of in Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace have carried me through. Don’t take children for granted. If the Lord has blessed you with them, spend time soaking in their presence because tomorrow is not promised. Tell them every chance you get that you love them. This includes friends or family; don’t let them leave your presence or get off the phone without telling them how much you care because for them to go without knowing will hurt.

This Word I am writing is not just about me but everyone; we need to hang on to God’s word no matter what is happening around us. Since last night, I have been hearing the word “Write.” I went to bed listening to Habakkuk 2, woke up, went to the gym, and heard, “Write again, but this time I said, Lord, write what? He responded, “The vision you want to see next year.

This morning, I read Hebrews 11 because my faith has been tested, and if I could be honest I needed help believing again in this area. Johsua’s death was a blow to my faith, and God has just been telling me to go back to the Word and draw strength from it.

Habakkuk 2-The Message

2 What’s God going to say to my questions? I’m braced for the worst. I’ll climb to the lookout tower and scan the horizon. I’ll wait to see what God says, how he’ll answer my complaint.2-3 And then God answered: “Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to what’s coming. It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait! And it doesn’t lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It’s on its way. It will come right on time. 4 “Look at that man, bloated by self-importance— full of himself but soul-empty. But the person in right standing before God through loyal and steady believing is fully alive, really alive.

I know I am not the only one going through it, but I will give you the words God gave me this morning when I left the gym. Write what you want to see in 2025 and wait. At the beginning of this blog journey, I said that I have to be truthful and will only write what I hear, and that is what he said. I pray in the name of Jesus that as the days roll out to the end of this year, God’s peace will fill your hearts and homes. Don’t look back at what could have been. Just keep moving no matter what the days look or feel like, trusting that we serve a righteous, faithful, loving Father who knows what we need and when to send it. If you have lost a loved one, my heart and prayers go out to you. I know your pain.

Hebrews 11-The Message Faith in What We Don’t See

11 1-2 The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.
