Reading the news this morning has me uneasy in my heart. I'm so thankful that nothing I've read or that is happening in the world is a surprise to God. That thought alone eases the worry. Sometimes we wonder how it can get much worse with school shootings all the time, anti-American decisions in government, etc, but I think it can get worse-much worse. Just how bad was it in Noah's day? I think of how hard it may be for my children's children, and their children's children, etc. and I pray for them, that God would protect them and provide for them but most of all that each one of them would be saved! I also pray that God would keep the families together and keep them healthy. GOD is GOD! Our Amazing, all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere present GOD! Here are a few verses for thougth and encouragement...
"And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind."
"Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth."
"He bowed the heavens also, and came down."
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"
Still feel anxious? Still worried about the future? God wants us to be concerned about our times but not worried. He wants us to remind ourselves of His greatness and total ability to care for us no matter how horrible it may get. "Oh, Lord, increase our faith."
"Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength."
May the Lord bless you with a renewed peace that God is OUR God and there is NONE like Him in all the earth!
Yes, how true! We need our faith increased, to realize more and more that God is GOD and He is bringing all things to an eventual close and He'll have the victory! what a comfort. In the meantime, how true that we need to be faithfully doing His will and telling others about the Lord Jesus Christ - the only PERFECT person and work that this world ever has seen. I'm so thankful that His return to snatch us away is IMMINENT, and we'll forever be with the Lord. Thanks for this encouraging post, Loken!
