It is a mercy. There has been much shaking going on within the church for years and much shaking within the economy for months. God is purifying His bride in America. He is shaking us loose from that which is not of Him, from false pride and man-made security. He is trying to protect us. He desires us to lean on Him and not on our own understanding. He is anxious to show Himself strong on our behalf. It is a mercy.
Thank You, Lord, for Your mercies.
Ezekiel 37:6-7 (King James Version)
And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
Romans 5:3-5 (New Living Translation)
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

This is exactly what I needed to receive and pray. Thank you for being faithful to His Spirit to post it.
Amen and amen.
