As The World Crumbles.
. .
However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8 (NIV)
• Jesus Christ is
LORD!
• Jesus Christ is
LORD!
• Jesus Christ is
LORD!
As
I write this week, there’s a lot of global turmoil taking place: a catastrophic
earthquake in Italy, life-threatening winds whirling across the Atlantic Ocean,
devastating floods in Louisiana, overwhelming wildfires in California, and
harmful mosquitoes flying around in Florida; just to name a few things that I
know about. Nevertheless—
God
has always been, and He will always be—in CONTROL!
Things
might be crumbling all around us, but God is holding His people up with His righteous
right hand. (Isaiah 41:10) We are believers; our job is to believe that God
will take care of us. If we don’t have faith in God, we’ll go crazy. (See Week
111: Trust God or Go Stone Crazy.) We are just deceiving ourselves if we think
we can successfully walk around on a crumbling world without God’s love, mercy,
and grace.
Of
course we are concerned about all that’s happening, but we don’t have to be
distressed if we live our lives obedient to God’s instructions. I know it’s
challenging, but God told us not to worry. (I Peter 5:7) His Holy Spirit
will give us comfort. (John 14:26) He said that a thousand shall fall at our
side, and ten thousand at our right hand, but it won’t come near us.
(Psalm 91:7) God’s peace extends beyond human understanding. (Philippians 4:7)
Don’t
get lost in the crumble!
Therefore, instead of us being glued down by
fear; we are to break loose. We must make sure we have on our armor (Ephesians
6:13-18) and get to work. We are God’s representatives; His ambassadors.
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God
were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be
reconciled to God.
(II Corinthians
5:20 NIV)
Nonbelievers will
be more drawn to God when they see us standing on the
Solid Rock—as the world crumbles.
