This is specifice word, please Blog it and pass it one. Carol hears from God and is a trusted source.
"We had a great prayer day today, 9am-9pm. We received specific words for the mission here which were encouraging and challenging.
I just wanted to pass onto you Psalm 90:7-17, which I know seems to be about the writer trying to cope with the mystery of time and the frailty of man but as I read it I just felt it could refer to the Army.
V 8 was sobering. The Salvation Army has such a great reputation with many but God knows our "secret sins".
v 9 paints a negative end to life and in the scheme of things it is all so short and transient. The Salvation Army is not an old organisation and looks so frail in many ways. Yet waste and destruction is not inevitable
v12 the wake up call, "Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Whatever happens we can't drift along, every moment counts.
v13 the plea for mercy
v14 re-focus on God
v15 prayer for a turn around
v16 prayer for God to be at work in the midst of his people again
v17 prayer for God's favour to return and make what we do count for something."
'Let those who have ears hear!'
