There are a lot of negative things going on in our world these days. There is a lot of bickering and anger. There are storms, earthquakes, wildfires, terrorism, and other things that can cause us to be anxious and afraid. We are living in anxious times that is for sure.
With all the troubling things going on in our world these days and in our own lives it is so very easy to become negative and cynical. There seems to be a lot of anger and unhappiness in our world. We believers in Jesus Christ must be careful as not to be pulled into the anger and negativity of all that is going on.
We believers in Jesus Christ have hope in God. There is hope in the Lord Jesus Christ to whom we belong if we have placed our faith and trust in Him. God is still on the throne. God is still sovereign. He is still at work in our world this very day even though things may appear to be splitting at the very seams. God is not surprised at all with everything going on in our world today and even in the things in our lives.
The Lord can use all the things that are going on to draw us to Him. God loves us. God loves you. God loves me and He loves each person on the planet. God desires that everyone come to repentance of their sins and place their faith in the finished work that Jesus Christ accomplished on the Cross by dying for all of our sins.
There is still hope for our world today. We believers in Christ must proclaim the truth of the Gospel to all of those around us. We must do this with love and gentleness. God wants to use us to bring others to Him and He will enable us to do just that through the work of His Holy Spirit that indwells everyone who has made Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior.
Lord,
We praise Your Name.
You are our hope in this world of trouble.
We cling to You for You are our Rock.
We seek shelter from the storm by running to You.
Help us O God in our times of trouble.
Help us endure hardship.
Help us to be patient.
Lead us and guide us by Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
