Perspective

As we are living in a world of constant change we have to be adaptable to each scenario that presents. Over the past few weeks the world has changed in many ways, none more critically than in the world’s financial fragility. Just a few people, and institutions have created a financial climate that has the Governments of most Countries trying to support the average citizen from a major financial calamity.




Revelation 3:17 (NIV)
You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

WARRIOR

‘Fighting is hard work, whatever sort of fighting it is. You cannot fight without wounds of body, heart, or soul.’ ~ Mrs. Booth

‘Lastly,’ said The General in a beautiful tribute to our Army Mother, ‘she was a warrior. She liked the fight. She was not one who said to others, “Go,” but “Here, let me go;” and when there was the necessity she said, “I will go!” I never knew her to flinch until her poor body compelled her to lay aside.’

Our Army Mother was, indeed, before all things a warrior; she fought bravely and unceasingly her whole life through.


In thought and purpose she was independent, and dared to stand out for what she felt right. Cowardice, in her opinion, was one of the commonest and most subtle sins of the day, and she had no patience with those who dared not say ‘No,’ and feared to stand alone.

(Catherine Booth, A Sketch ~ Brigadier Duff)




Isaiah 42:13 (NIV)
The LORD will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies.
