"Don't You Cry..."

"Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen." (Psalms 44:11) If only David knew how bad it would get; then again, maybe God gave him a vision of what was to come. As I was praying and holding my wife this morning, I had that song pop into my head; you know, the one about Daddy is going to buy you this and that; whatever the song is, I spent the next twenty minutes or so crying; I think it's called, "Daddys going to buy you a mockingbird". All that God allows for and causes to happen in our lives, He does so because He loves us; just as He allowed, and still allows, those things to come upon His chosen people of Israel. Even to this day, those that should know Him the most are still waiting for their Messiah to come; but the odd thing is, He will come, but He will come in a way that they did not expect, and declaring something that they did not want to hear; but He will come. From what I read in the Bible, at the time of His coming, about one third of Israel will have been slain; yet the Bible declares that "All of Israel will be saved" (Romans 11:25-29). This is God's doing, and God can do anything that He wants to, and in any manner that He wants, because He is God, and He makes the rules! But in the end, God will be glorified and everyone that is His will be giving Him glory, for ever and ever... "For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy though their unbelief: even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been His counselour? or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen." (Romans 11:30-36)
