My brother visited us again over the week-end. We had a
wonderful visit! We laughed and reminisced and watched old and new movies. We
ate and fellowshipped and napped! I even watched a basketball game with him!
One thing my brother enjoys is watching news. He has his
favorite channel and we watched that some. It didn’t take long to realize that
most of the news is pretty negative about the future of our country and its
economy. No one has real answers for what plagues us. For a country that
espouses government of the people, by the people and for the people we are
surely far from that these days.
There is much going on that brings chills to my heart and
I’m sure many of you feel the same way. More and more rules are being written
and less and less freedoms are being protected.
The news paints a bleak picture, even among the more conservative
groups. Each group says they have the
answer and yet none of it sounds like a good prospect for the average citizen.
More taxes, more laws, and less liberty. That scenario equals something I don’t
even want to think of. I found that by
only watching a couple of hours of news that I was becoming more discouraged,
worried, frustrated and insecure.
What is our hope for change?
Where can we go? Who has the answer? Who do we look to for help?
There is hope! There is help! There is an answer! While we
can’t fix all the woes of the world in a day, we can begin with ourselves. In
God’s Word is everything we need! We must go back to His Word and live by His
precepts! We must return to the God of our childhood! We must fall on our faces
before the Only One who can do anything!
Oh beloved, today is the day to call upon the Name of the
Lord! You woke up this morning so that’s proof that God has a plan for your
life! He is all you will ever need for living on this planet and for living in
the light! Run to His Word quickly while there is still time and take it all in
– find your reason for living, your way to live, your hope for redemption, your
strength in the hardships, your manna in the wilderness, your shelter in the
storm, your deliverance from captivity, your water from the rock, your light in
the darkness, your help when you feel completely helpless and more!
Trust Him today and give Him your whole heart, for His Name
is Faithful and True. He loves you and He’s for you and that’s the very best
news!
Job 42:2 I know that You can do all things,
and that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained or
thwarted.
Revelation 19:11 After that I saw heaven
opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is
called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He
passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness).
Amplified
Hebrews 12:28 Since we are receiving a
Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping Him
with holy fear and awe.
Deuteronomy 4:7 For what great nation has a
god as near to them as the Lord our God is
near to us whenever we call on Him?
Psalm 91:2 This I declare about the LORD:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him
