Everything may be going just great and then the bottom falls out and we find ourselves in a mess.
There have been a number of shootings and terrorist attacks lately in our world.
Many people are nervous not knowing what is going to happen next.
We are on edge.
We who are believers in Jesus Christ must not crumble in despair as if there is no hope.
There is hope for you and I and our world.
Our hope is not found in a political party.
Our hope will not be found in a presidential candidate.
Our hope should not be on any world leader no matter how popular and charming they may be.
Our hope and the hope of the entire world is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is my hope.
He is our hope.
He is the only One that has the power to forgive sins based upon His death on the cross.
He shed His precious blood for you and me and the entire world.
He walks with us everyday no matter how dark and difficult the journey may be.
We must seek His face when life gets tough.
Life does indeed get tough at times.
We must cling to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We must continue to read the Bible and listen to what He has to say to us.
We can't afford to be distracted by worldly things.
We need Jesus.
The people of this world need Jesus.
I don't want people to perish.
I want people to have a chance to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
There is only one way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ and trusting in His shed blood on the cross.
We know bad things happen in our world.
We can see it on the news on television.
Times are hard no matter what people may say.
The Lord will see us through the times of difficulty,
We must trust Him.
I am reminded of a verse of Scripture.
It is found in Romans 8:28 which says,
"And we know that in all things
God works for the good of those
who love Him,
who have been called
according to His purpose."
This doesn't say that all things that happen to us will be good.
Sometimes very bad things happen to us even though we are believers and followers of Jesus Christ.
God can use those bad times and turn them out for our good.
We can learn something from our experiences even of they are bad and cause us hurt.
We can learn that no matter the difficulty, the Lord will always walk us through them.
We are never alone in our hardships.
The Lord promises us in He Word that He will never leave us and never forsake us.
He loves us so very much.
He wants to help us.
Are we allowing Him to help us?
Let us continue to seek the Lord and trust in Him in all things.
Our God is an Awesome God.
We can trust Him.
Jesus loves you.
Do you love Him?
I pray that you will draw near to Him and trust Him.
Lord Almighty God,
We praise Your name.
Thank You for being with us during life's hard times.
Thank You that You love us.
We love You to Lord.
Help us to seek You more.
Keep us safe.
Heal our broken hearts.
Heal our land.
Help us Lord.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
