Recent times have brought many possible directions for outcomes and I, just like many others, speculate, muse, and worry at times, and also listen to the many others speculating and opining possible directions things may go, and also many are talking about the shot and whether or not it is a good idea to receive certain shots.
I think everyone needs to seek the Lord on their own behalf in regards to that one. Many these days do not want to believe the God of the Bible anymore, and that’s unfortunate because that would be the only place to find stability, a solid rock on which to stand. When one is in Christ no matter what outcome befalls us we are assured there will be a good outcome. We are all going to die one way or another and we will die in Christ…or not. I’ve heard people say “But I am a good person”. Well, actually, if one is completely honest with oneself, we would know that isn’t really true. Only God is true and everyone else is a liar (at one time or another anyway) .
We all hope for the best, of course. With the many recent changes one can become very pessimistic of the outcome. But if your hope is grounded on Christ your view has a much longer and wider (eternal) view than those who do not have Jesus. It doesn’t depend on what will happen to you next week or next year or ten years from now. It is an adventure that has many scary twists and turns which end with making you stronger, wiser, and more faithful of God’s caring for you. And when death does come to one who is faithful in Christ, it is welcomed because we then fully enter into His rest and will come to meet Him face to face.
Be blessed and live in that blessed hope and faith in our Redeemer. ❤️☺️
Good post. Yes, it is an adventure that has many scary twists and turns
ReplyDeleteWe are running a marathon that requires discipline, diligence, and patient endurance. Keep our eyes on Jesus. Not be distracted (that's hard). And upon completing the race successfully, we will receive the crown of righteousness.
Lieve groet.
Amen! ❤️🙏
DeleteIsaiah 33:6, "and he shall be the stability of thy times, the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge". Trusting in Him we have certainty, unaffected by the world's present traumas. (Not that we should be unsympathetic with mankind.)
ReplyDeleteGreat verse! I am in Isaiah currently in reading the Bible in a year plan. ❤️
DeleteHi Susan, yes only God is good and His love is above any other love on this planet. If we keep our eyes upon Him and His Word spoken to us daily we will learn His ways and our thoughts will be changed to His thoughts through having access to the mind of Christ. God bless.
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda, yes His love is above any other loves we think we find in this world. This world is transient and time is fleeting. Solomon says it is like a wisp of smoke! Thank you for your comments and visiting me here ❤️🙏
Deletewonderful words !
ReplyDeleteHi Ashok thank you for visiting 😊🙏
DeleteWe have a loving God Who understands we are flesh, and it takes time to learn God's ways and maintain His thoughts, but there is no one in this world who can compare to Him and His beloved Son Who laid down His life that we might have eternal life. God bless you for sharing your wise words.
ReplyDeleteYes, God understands our flesh more than we understand ourselves. We make excuses for our flesh, but He died in our place knowing that our sins are abhorrent, even ones we consider little sins would send us to hell without His intervention.
