Y’all remember the fly? I’ll be as brief as I can, but forgive me…this has been sitting on paper waiting to be shared…today I’m led to share it.
This is what I heard as I lay in bed in the wee hours of the morning talking to God the morning of October 9, 2020. I had a thought. I got chills thinking about it. Over a month ago during an important event where many in the nation were watching, a fly showed up in the room. He didn’t belong there. He was out of place. The world watching noticed it.
The internet lost their minds. The fly stole the show. For a millisecond he was popular among the people. That day, and days thereafter, it was one of the most talked about events. The fly garnered world-wide attention in a split second. Undoubtedly, the focus was taken off details of the event briefly and became what I called a distraction. It got our attention.
While it’s strange how the fly got in the room given flies normally occupy outside and can only get in places where there’s an opening. I was bewildered. I got to thinking. How he got in the room was a mystery. But make no mistake about it, he was right where he was supposed to be.
As with us, we are right where God needs us to be to reveal his glory. We never need to know why, we just need to know, and “Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the detestable things they have done’ (Ezekiel 33:29). God will hold us accountable for our actions. He will dispense judgment, with justice.
Listen…Unsavory “flies” are among us. Be ready for and open to change that’s coming. Whatever happens tomorrow, please let’s not blame it on the devil. People are getting very bold and outrageous with their actions. Pay attention. Stay vigilant. Be on guard. Use wise judgment. Have common sense. Make sound decisions.
Whatever the outcome tomorrow, know that God is in control. Don’t stop praying. Be fervent, persistent, and resilient in prayer. Whatever happens when it happens, know that it is God’s will that his purpose will be fulfilled. In his timing. #Selah
