Above Rubies Daily Encouragement Blogs
Through the weekly and daily devotionals you can be constantly encouraged in your great role of parenting, the highest career in the nation. You can also stay updated on what's happening with the Above Rubies ministry.
The expected red wave was certainly not what we hoped for. At this moment the senate seems to hold very little hope and light for supporting the conservative agenda. I hope I am wrong. The House of Representatives appears to now be in our control. Thank you, God.
We must pray that they will be able to pass legislation on behalf of the truth and bring justice and judgment between lies versus truth, salt versus corruption, and light versus darkness.
We must pray for a unity amongst all republican leaders, a unity that is not based on compromise and lies but solid truth, a unity based on what is constitutional and right for America. This requires leaders who will exercise integrity and backbone.
Where is the heart of God among the women of America who voted to kick back against Roe v. Wade being overturned. Many women voted for the democrat agenda because its main platform was woman’s rights. I doubt they considered the morals of murdering the baby in the womb, even to kill the baby after birth. Would this not call the Judge of the whole earth to discipline this nation with severe judgment, especially after the 40 years of fighting for it to be overturned by the Supreme Court.
As a nation we should not take the mercy of God for granted. The leftist agenda is slamming a fist into the face of God because it legislates against holiness. It is not only abortion, but now they include the mutilation of the human body to bring about sex changes, as well as other degrading moral legislation.
We stand on the brink of severe discipline from our holy God. May the Lord have mercy upon us for I sense judgment is at the door and it will not be nice.
This is indeed a war between good and evil and light and darkness. If ever there was a time to intercede and pray for America to turn back to God, it is surely now.
We must pray for individuals, families, and churches that they will repent and turn back to God.
We must pray that God will bring down those who plan evil—whether through vaccinations where the main purpose is to cull the human population by the death of millions,or legislation to change our DNA,or legislation to defy the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade,and many other evils that are espoused by the New World Order and World Economic Forum and our pro-socialist government where the people have no say.
Who wants to live in a world that is overrun by perverts and those who practice all types of sexual immorality? The liars and deceivers are seeking to overrun the righteous. They denounce our conservative values with a vengeance. They want to be elected even if it means they must cheat and steal to make it happen. This they will do if we do not pray and have a revival of spiritual backbone.
We cannot and must not be suckers to their lies and deceptions any longer.
By the grace of God we must push back against their clever frauds that are demonically inspired.
We must resist with all the powerful truth that comes like a two-edged sword out of the mouth of the Captain of our Salvation whose kingdom will never end.
“If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31).
So, where Oh, where do we go from here? There is nowhere else to go but to the Lord with every fiber of our being.
Be encouraged.

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“In everyone there is some willingness to merge with the anonymous crowd and to flow comfortably along with it down the river of pseudo-life. This is much more than a simple conflict between two identities. It is something far worse: it is a challenge to the very notion of identity itself.”~ Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless

To stay home and not vote is to forfeit your privilege and constitutional rights as a citizen of this country. When you vote, you put feet to elect leaders who will legislate conservative and godly values. To not vote simply allows evil to overtake this great country. The opposition will not be satisfied until they take over everything and “we the people” will own nothing and will have no rights to vote them out of power ever again for voting is against their mindset.Sadly, perhaps only then will those who stayed at home regret they did not vote. By then it will be too late to change the rules with the freedom that God has currently provided in this country.
The future of this blessed country is in our hands.
We must do all we can do to silence the voice and power of the radicals who have no fear of God and have given themselves over to every type of evil imaginable. And yet have the audacity to call evil good and good evil. Read Isaiah 5:20-24.
Many understand that the challenges we are currently facing are prophesied in the Bible, e.g., the one world government, the World Economic Forum, not being able to buy or sell without a mark or number of the beast etc., eventually have to take place, so “bring it on,” they say. “Let’s get it over with.” This attitude is very fatalistic and requires no resistance of evil. The least we can do is to oppose evil with our vote. That’s just the beginning.
God’s people are called to be salt and light which resist evil and darkness. As if abortion were not evil enough, we now have the culling of the population through vaccinations and even transgender where they are mutilating children’s bodies to the opposite sex and who will never be able to have children. We who are the vessels of salt and light are expected to not only approve it but to applaud it. This we cannot do.
We must resist all temptation to be neutral which is neither for nor against evil.
James 4:17: “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Read also 1 Peter 5:8, 9.
My heart tells me that these elections are not just about the economy which is bad enough. It is much more important to stand up and resist the flood of evil, lies, and the diabolical immorality that is flooding our country and infecting all that we have and are in this nation.
The only hope that we have left is that righteous people will stand up, put on the whole armor of God, and resist all evil. These elections are just one important way of resisting evil.
We are fast running out of time. We must take action now.
Be encouraged.

Men who do not have "spark" are bland and boring. Their eyes are dull and lifeless. They have no oomph in their personality or spring in their step.We know how bad it is when we keep pulling the rope to start the engine of the lawnmower but there is no spark. You feel like throwing the wrench at it! No woman should marry a man like this, and no one should ever hire such a man.
Spark denotes life. As men get older, they tend to lose their spark and zest for life, but I do not believe that it should be this way. Men should take all the corrective measures possible to stop themselves from oxidizing and getting rusty. We know that drugs, alcohol, and pornography can ruin a man's personality. Sitting around and living a sedentary lifestyle, coupled with laziness, and not showing initiative, also takes the spark out of a man.
Mountain climbers would never dream of taking a man without any spark on such a dangerous expedition. God also wants men like Abraham and Caleb with lots of spark to climb His mountains.
Let’s be reminded again of Caleb’s confession: “As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come. Now therefore GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN” (Joshua 14:12, 12). This mountain was inhabited by giants, but he was ready to take them on at 85 years of age!
Remember, it only takes a few sparks to get a fire going. The best sparks come from Christians filled with the Holy Spirit. Reading God's Word and praying daily are an excellent combination to create sparks.

"Hindrances are helps. If one of Joseph's misfortunes had been omitted, his good fortune would never have come. If his brethren had not hated him, if he had not been sold, if he had not been imprisoned, he would never have ruled Egypt."
