Are You My Alma Mater? Hold my soul, Lord!

Acts 27:23  For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Acts 27:24  Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. Proverbs 7:26  For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. Proverbs 7:27  Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

If there is a woman whose way is the way to hell, there must be another way, also! How's your faith?

I read that little book to my children, Are you my mother?

I think of the question with regards to education in America. Can something be a soul mother, which has cast off the reigns of God’s Word? Can we be carrying souls to heaven while despising the commandments that are the transforming purpose? Christ’s work was to fulfill the Law and His Word is a light. We live in a day of erasing the handwriting of God on the wall of our nation. The wonderful experience that we had seeing God bring a huge storm over Chowan, the last time that we took Evie back there, seemed a token of anointing of God on that school and their processes. It was as though God had given us all of the children there and was about to bless the season of education. God seemed to say that He was placing his bangs and locks of his hair on that school and their efforts, when wedded with prayer and purposes of truth, during this dark night of our nation's education crisis. We pray and agree that God is able to wrestle truth out of darkness and reclaim our children from the wreckage of darkness. God is working and the wondrous sight that we saw as we took our eyes upward out of Pastor Boyce's book to the sky, gave me the confidence that we were running our ship aground for His glory! I got this, God seemed to say.

We pray, as little David played his harp, Dear Lord, Play your harp! Amen. Don't pay attention to our temper tantrums of wrangling against you. Play your harp!
