Not Giving Up

This world is filled with trouble.  Many people are doing what is right in their own eyes and paying no attention to what is right in God's eyes.  Many people have abandoned the truth of who God is and are running after a lie.  There are many who want to do what feels right to them and pay no attention to the cost.  There is always a  cost to our decisions.  There is a price to pay.

The Lord is the One who is the Judge of all people.  We will all have to answer to Him in the way we lived and the choices that we made.  There is a lot of evil and wickedness in our world these days.  There are a lot of bad things happening all around our world and in our very communities.

It is very concerning to me and it can be rather depressing.  We believers in Jesus Christ must not collapse in fear and despair for our God is a Mighty God.  All things are possible with God.  He is our Savior and our Deliverer.  Yes, we should be concerned and we should be praying.  We need to be making disciples for the Lord Jesus and proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ.

There are many bad things going on, but God is still good.  He is good all the time.  He is faithful and He is Just in His Judgments.  There will be many who run away from the truth of who Jesus is and they run after the world it's lies.  The world is being deceived by Satan himself and the world refuses to hear the voice of truth that comes from the Lord God Almighty.

God sent Jesus into this world to testify to the truth and we know that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and no one absolutely no one comes to the Father except through Jesus Christ.  Time is running out for the people of this world to repent of their sins and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ by faith trusting in His Grace.

We believers in Jesus Christ must cling to the Living Hope that is ours in the Lord Jesus Christ.  The Lord is amazing and He loves us so very much.  Sometimes we get the wrong image of God.  Some people see a God is out to get them with a lightening bolt.  The Lord doesn't want to destroy us.  He loves us and He wants us to love Him above everything else.  He doesn't want us to destroy ourselves by not coming to the truth of who He is.

The Lord is patient with us and He is giving people time to repent of their sins and turn to the only Savior of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus is the only One that died for the sins of the whole world.  God sent Jesus on a rescue mission to save us from the penalty to sin.  God gives us the gift of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.  Jesus shed is blood for our sins and we must receive His payment for our sins in order for us to have forgiveness of our sins and an eternal Home in Heaven.

Sin is serious.  The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.  We must repent of our sins and turn to the Lord Jesus.  The means we need a course change.  We need to confess our sins to the Lord and trust the shed blood of Christ as a payment for our sins.

The world refuses to hear the truth because they don't want to give up their sinful evil practices.  Their hearts have become hard and the truth just bounces off of them.  We believers must continue in proclaiming the truth because there may indeed be someone that listens and turn from their sin and to the Lord.  Even if one person comes to faith in the Lord Jesus it will be well worth the effort.

Let's not give up doing good to one another and may we continue to run the race the Lord have set before us with our eyes securely upon the Lord Jesus Christ.

Lord,
Help us not to be discouraged and give up.
Grant us the strength we need to run the race that You set before us.
Empower us through Your Holy Spirit to do Your will.
I pray for traveling mercies tomorrow and prayers for my mother who is having a doctors appointment.
Thank You, Lord, for Your goodness and Your faithfulness.
Come Quickly, Lord Jesus.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.
