[Discoveries] 09-20-08 Older and wiser -- Revelation 4:4

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on 
them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns 
of gold on their heads. -- Revelation 4:4*/

We don't know a whole lot about these twenty-four elders. Where did they 
come from? Are they some form of angels? How did they get here? What is 
their job? What are they thinking? What do they see? If we could spend a 
day with one of them, what would we learn?

There's a lot going on that we don't know anything about.

I am a half century old. Most of the human race on earth is younger than 
I am. But in real terms, we are only children.

Last evening I walked downtown with our youngest child. As we crossed 
the street, I took her hand.

That's how it is with us. Someone older and wiser is here; He sees 
things we don't; He knows things we don't. And when we need it, He takes 
our hand.

Be encouraged!
Dwight

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
