Placing Our Hope In Jesus And Not In Politics

The world seems to be plunging deeper into spiritual darkness as it tries to distance itself from the living God.  There is a lot of immorality in our world today.  There is a lot of greed and corruption in every level of society especially in politics.  Many people are tired of politics and all the bickering that goes on within it.

Many people are concerned with all the divisive rhetoric that is going on within our governments and within society at a whole.  There is a lot of division even among families and friends.  It almost seems it is very hard for people to agree on anything.

There seems to be a lot of negative things going on in our world these days and it seems to be getting worse.  Thankfully there is hope for us and for the world.  There is hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.   Even when things seems so bleak we can take heart that the Lord is still on the throne and He sees what is going on in our world today.  He is also still at work in our world today and He is working on people's hearts as well to draw them to Himself.

We know that we have all sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.  We are all deserving of eternal separation from God and placed into a literal hell.  God doesn't want anyone to perish, but His desire is that people would repent of their sins and come to Him to be reconciled.  God demonstrated His great love toward each one of us by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth to live a perfect and sinless life.  Jesus went obediently to the Cross where He shed His blood and died for our sins.

God raised Jesus to life on the third day and one day He will return to this earth and bring the Kingdom of God to full completion upon the earth.  Currently Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven.

We are called to repent of our sins and trust the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior in order to receive forgiveness of our sins and have an eternal Home in Heaven when we die.  The Lord didn't leave us as orphans to fend for ourselves until the Day Jesus returns, but He gives the Holy Spirit to indwell everyone that has placed his or her trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

God is good and He is always good.  We can trust Him in every circumstance.  We have hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.  We must cling to Him during these difficult and negative days.  The Lord is our true living hope.  We need to continue to feed upon the Word, the Bible, and we must continue to stand for what is right in the eyes of God.

We must continue to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth and we must worship the Lord in Spirit and Truth.

Lord,
We praise Your Name.
You are Holy.
I pray for a Spirit of cooperation to flow through this land.
I pray that people will repent of their sins and be reconciled back to You through Jesus Christ.
I pray for a revival in the Body of Christ throughout this Nation and throughout the world.
Lead us and guide us by Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
