Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

To those who have been obedient to My leading and continue to seek My face, you are on the verge of significant breakthrough. You will begin to catch a glimpse of your destiny and be able to progress in ways you have not yet considered. I am leading you every step of the way, and you will have to be careful to not get ahead of Me, says the Lord. 

Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

Habakkuk 2

God Answers the Prophet – The Just Shall Live by My Belief
1I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the tower; and I will keep watch to see what He will say to me and what answer I will give [as His spokesman] when I am reproved. 2Then the LORD answered me and said, “Write the vision and engrave it plainly on [clay] tablets so that the one who reads it will run. 3“For the vision is yet for the appointed [future] time it hurries toward the goal [of fulfillment]; it will not fail. Even though it delays, wait [patiently] for it, because it will certainly come; it will not delay. 4“Look at the proud one, his soul is not right within him, but the righteous will live by his faith [in the true God]. 5“Moreover, wine is treacherous and betrays the arrogant man, so that he does not stay at home. His appetite is large like Sheol, and he is like death, never satisfied. He gathers to himself all nations and collects to himself all peoples [as if he owned them]. 6“Will all these [victims of his greed] not take up a taunting song against him, And in mocking derision against him say, ‘[a]Woe (judgment is coming) to him who increases that which is not his–how long [will he possess it]? And [woe to him who] makes himself wealthy with loans.’ 7“Will your creditors not rise up suddenly and those who collect from you awaken? Then you will become plunder for them. 8“Because you [king of Babylon] have looted many nations, all peoples who are left will loot you–because of human bloodshed and for the violence done to the land, to the city and all its inhabitants. 9“Woe (judgment is coming) to him who obtains wicked gain for his house [and thinks by so doing] to set his nest on high, that he may be rescued from the hand of evil. 10“You have devised a shameful thing for your house by cutting off and putting an end to many peoples; so you are sinning against your own life and forfeiting it. 11“For the stone will cry out from the wall [to accuse you–built in sin!] and the rafter will answer it out of the woodwork.  12“Woe (judgment is coming) to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by violence! 13“Is it not indeed from the LORD of hosts that peoples labor [only] for the fire [that will destroy their work] and nations grow weary for nothing [that is, things which have no lasting value]? 14“But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 15“Woe (judgment is coming) to you who make your neighbors drink, who mix in your venom to make them drunk so that you may look at their nakedness! 16“You will be filled with disgrace instead of honor. Now drink and expose your own nakedness! The cup [of wrath] in the LORD’S right hand will come around to you [O destroyer] and utter disgrace will be on your own glory. 17“For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you; the destruction of the animals will terrify you on account of human bloodshed and the violence done to the land, to the city and all its inhabitants. 18“What profit is the carved image when its maker has formed it? It is only a cast image and a teacher of lies. For its maker trusts in his own creation [as his god] when he makes speechless idols. 19“Woe (judgment is coming) to him who says to the wooden image, ‘Awake!’ And to the speechless stone, ‘Arise!’ And that is your teacher? Look, it is overlaid with gold and silver and there is no breath at all inside it. 20“But the LORD is in His holy temple. Let all the earth hush and be silent before Him.”

[a] 6 The taunting song of the five woes pronounced against Babylon begins in v 6 and concludes at the end of the chapter.

My angels are watching over you, protecting you, guarding you, assisting you. They are here to comfort you. You are created almost on the same level as the heavenly beings. It’s okay to bless them, walk with them but don’t worship them. Worship their Creator.

Psalm 8:4-5 “What is man that You are mindful of him and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him? Yet You have made him but a little lower than God [or heavenly beings] and You have crowned him with glory and honor.”

Psalm 91:11-12 “For He will give His angels  charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.” Robin Robinson Bohlin 

May 20, 2024. My plan and purpose for you is a clean heart. A clean heart is a heart that is in tune with Me. When you live your life according to My Word there are many rewards. I watch and listen to all you do and speak. You please Me and I want to provide for you all the benefits that come from a heart in step with Me. I know that you’ve made mistakes, but I see your heart.

Acts 13:21-22 “Then they asked for a king and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I HAVE FOUND DAVID the son of Jesse, A MAN AFTER MY HEART, who will do all My will.’” Jonas Bohlin
