Records are coming up before God; both righteous and wicked alike. The LORD is considering the works of certain people and places, and He is ready to perform His word concerning them. This is why it's imperative to see well in the Spirit, so that you're always exactly where the Father wants you to be when He wants you to be there.
"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." - Galatians 6:7-9
It's easy to forget that harvest season is contingent upon what we've sown and not an automatic guarantee that we will reap something good simply because we made it here. Think about it.
If you've sown perpetual rebellion towards God, what do you expect to reap?
If you've been lazy instead of laboring for Christ, should you even expect a harvest at all?
If you've sown discord, then surely you can't expect to reap peace and unity.
Honestly, knowing that various records have come up as a memorial before God makes me appreciate the Holy Spirit even more, especially the word that He gave to Praying Is a Lifestyle at the start of the year, which was to "proceed in endurance". God knew that He was going to do (and still is doing) lots of things in 2024 that only He can get the glory for and He doesn't want His sons & daughters to grow weary in well-doing as we patiently wait for Him to fulfill His promises to us.
My hope is that instead of complaining or turning to vanity that you brought every hardship and concern you've had this year so far to the Father in prayer no matter how painful and frustrating it was. More importantly, I hope you have faith in Him to guide you into all truth because although God is light, He also knows what dwells in darkness (Daniel 2:22). Therefore, nothing should scare you because nothing is ever hidden from Him. It's when we allow ourselves to believe the lie that God doesn't see us or care about what we go through that we leave ourselves vulnerable to attack. Remember, Satan stands before the Father too (Job 1:6). The key is to live a life so rooted in Christ that before he can try to make a case against you, you've already cut the legs off every accusation with repentance to the LORD our God.
