The Welkin Rings

Fellow Labourers-

Yesterday (17 Dec. 2009) was not a day most Jamaicans will want to remember. Some were glued to their radios and some to their television sets as the Hon. Minister of Finance Audley Shaw and the Hon. Prime Minister Bruce Golding painted and weaved the economic mosaic that will be our lot for 2010 and onwards. I only heard what was said in bits and pieces because a fellow minister and I were traversing Kingston and Saint Andrew doing missionary work. So whilst some of you went to bed upset and perplexed, I went to bed feeling very fulfilled. I am just now reading what was said and know that these honourable gentlemen would love to to hear "The welkin rings."

Can you imagine if they hear and see the vault of heaven opens with all its storehouse of treasures opened to them? In light of this I recommend you read Anne Shirley's piece in today's Financial Gleaner. Eyes have they but they see not. Ears have they but they hear not. Hear is a golden opportunity for the church of God to expose the hidden Christ. Thank God there are those of us who can still hear the welkin rings. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see... And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him" (Hebrews 11:1,6).

Pax Vobiscum
