Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
Check yourself to determine how you are treating those around you. Remember that what you do to others will be done to you. See that you show the same respect to the people around you as you expect from them.
Romans 14:8-10 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Micah 4
The Last of the Days
And at the last of the days the mountain of the LORD will be apparent, readied upon the tops of the mountains and it shall rise up high above the hills; and peoples shall hasten to it. And many nations shall go and shall say, Come, we should ascend unto the mountain of the LORD and unto the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us His way and we shall go by His roads. For from out of Zion shall go forth the law and the Word of the LORD from out of Jerusalem. And He shall judge between many peoples and shall completely refute strong nations unto afar. And they shall cut their broadswords into plows and their spears into sickles. And no longer should a nation raise up a broadsword against a nation and no longer should they learn to wage war. And each shall rest underneath his grapevine and each underneath his fig-tree. And there shall not be one frightening them, because the mouth of the LORD almighty spoke these things. For all the peoples shall go each in his own way; but we shall go in the name of the LORD our God into the eon and beyond.
Future Promise of Nationhood
In that day, says the LORD, I will gather together her being broken and her being thrust away. I will take in even whom I thrusted away. And I will make her being broken into a vestige and her being thrust away into a mighty nation. And the LORD shall reign over them on mount Zion, from the present and unto the eon. And you, O tower of the flock, austere daughter of Zion, unto you shall come and shall enter in the head of the foremost kingdom of Babylon to the daughter of Jerusalem. And now, why did you know bad things? Was not a king in you? Or has your counsel perished? For your pangs hold firmly as one giving birth. Travail and take courage, O daughter of Zion, as the one giving birth! For now you shall come forth from the city and shall encamp in the plain and shall come unto Babylon. From there He shall rescue you and from there He shall ransom you, the LORD your God, from the hand of your enemies. And now many nations were assembled against you saying, We shall rejoice and scrutinize over Zion with our eyes. But they knew not the devices of the LORD and perceived not His counsel. For He gathered them as sheaves for the threshing-floor. Rise up and thresh them, O daughter of Zion! For I will make your horns iron and your hoofs I will make brass and I will dissolve many peoples. And you shall present to the LORD their abundance, even their strength to the LORD of all the earth.

There is no way I can be disappointed in you because I know the end from the beginning. I see you as spotless and perfect because of My Son. Your shortcomings and failures may be evident to you but they aren’t to Me. I see you as My magnificent child.
1 Peter 4:8 “But before all things having the intense love among yourselves; for the love covers a multitude of sins;”
Robin Robinson Bohlin May 14, 2024. Regardless of what you face in life both good and bad, I want your response to Me, the Living God, to be full of praise and rejoicing! I want this principle to be taught to My children at a young age. Above all things, give praise and adoration. I desire this from all My creatures both saved and unsaved. If you are not doing this every day, today would be the best day to get started!
1 Chronicles 16:31-36 “Be glad O heavens and the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations: “Adonai is reigning!” The sea shall resonate with the fullness of it; let the field exult and all the things in it. Then the trees of the grove shall be glad before the face of Adonai, for He comes to judge the earth. Make acknowledgment to Adonai for good, for His mercy endures forever. And say, “Deliver us, O God of our deliverance! And gather us and rescue us from out of the nations! To praise Your name the holy One; to boast in Your praises.” Blessed be Adonai, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And all the people shall say “Amen.” And they gave “Praise to Adonai.” Budd Rodgers
