There is a lot of anger in our world these days as anyone of us can clearly see. There seems to be a lack of love. There is a lack of love and fear for God and there is definitely a lack of love for other people as well. Our world is a world of sorrows. There are many hurting people all around us in our communities, our countries, and even in our churches.
There are many people who are facing difficult times. There are many who are facing health problems, addictions, job loss, and many other problems. There are many people who feel anxious and hopeless with the way the world is going.
The devil is working overtime stirring up trouble, lies, and strife. The devil knows his time is very short so he is running around trying to do as much damage as possible before the Lord Jesus Christ returns to this world.
Many believers in Jesus Christ are discouraged with the way the world is and the direction that it is heading and we should be concerned. We must remember that this world is a fallen and sinful world. For the believer in Jesus Christ we know that this world is not our home. We are pilgrims passing through. That doesn't mean we should sit around and doing nothing until the Lord shows up to take us home.
The Lord Jesus gave us the command to take the Gospel message to all the world and make disciples of all nations. This world needs Jesus. He is the only hope that there is. My hope is built upon the Lord Jesus Christ and all that He has done for me.
Sometimes we may feel like praying isn't enough. We should always pray, but we should also be ready to go to where the Lord would have us to go whether it is to go across the street or across the world to tell someone the good news of Jesus Christ.
Let's find one person to tell about our hope in Jesus Christ.
Lord,
Thank You for the hope we have in You.
You are the hope of the world.
We praise You for who You are.
You are God our redeemer.
May Your will be done in our lives.
Help us to tell someone about Jesus.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
