Bring It On Lord!


“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mournwhen they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,with power and great glory.And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. Matthew 24:30-31
Sometimes do you wish  the trumpet would sound and Jesus would come back and take His followers to Heaven?  So much corruption in our country makes one weary. You may say "where is God" but He sees it all and has a plan.

When the news frightens you turn it off. Go turn on a good Christian radio station instead. Don't be feeding your mind with doomsday scenarios which make you feel all hope is lost.

Above all don't go wishing God would 'beam you up' like you are in Star Trek but instead ask Him for the strength to be strong in these troubling times and those yet to come.

PRAYER: I admit sometimes the news overwhelms me. The media seems to be on the side of evil too and I get a feeling of despair. I know you don't want me to despair but you want me to stay engaged in my culture and help win the lost to Christ and encourage the faint hearted. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Don't Opt Out! Stay In The Battle!

 He said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle not yours, but God's." 2 Chronicles 20:15 
Here in America many of us are feeling beat down. First by leaders who refuse to honor the Constitution or care about the law or morality. At times when more and more tyranny occurs a person can begin to feel scared and hopeless. But cheer up because we know the end of the story. 
Light  expels the darkness. A believer is to spread Jesus' light around the world. When you enter a dark room and turn on a light what instantly happens? Light floods the room. Likewise we believers don't need to be dismayed and feel like there is nothing that can be done. Psalm 56:11 says "In  God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?" Puny little man can think he is a big bad dictator but God has the final say.

In these hard times continue to pray. Continue to thank God for freedom and for the military who has help keep that freedom through the years. Continue to pray for light to overcome darkness. 

PRAYER: I know Lord you are on the throne. When we allowed evil and darkness to seep into this once God fearing nation we allowed sin to abound. Turn the hearts of evil men and women to good and from darkness to light. Help me shine my light and never quit. In Jesus' name. Amen.
