We sing in Church services called These Are The Days of Elijah. It is sung with joy and anticipation. But reviewing the words, and living in them right now have opened my eyes. We like the end, but do we really understand the narrow place we will have to go through to get there? To get through the narrow place we need to strip ourselves of baggage and cares we are carrying and only be concerned about what God is concerned about.
Read the words to the song below:
These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the word of the Lord:
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword,
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord!’
Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call;
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.
These are the days of Ezekiel,
The dry bones becoming as flesh;
And these are the days of Your servant David,
Rebuilding a temple of praise.
These are the days of the harvest,
The fields are as white in Your world,
And we are the labourers in Your vineyard,
Declaring the word of the Lord!
There’s no God like Jehovah.
There’s no God like Jehovah!
