We are living in crazy times, my friends! We live in a time when nearly all the knowledge that has ever been is available at our fingertips; yet in many ways our societies are being ‘dumbed down’. We live in a time with amazing technology to make our everyday lives simple; and yet life seems more complicated than ever. We live in a time when the greatest words of love ever spoken can be shared with every living soul on earth; yet there is more hate and division than ever.
But don't give in! When discouragement threatens, there is an encouragement that can drive it far away!
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1)
What in this world should we really fear? The only thing that is truly frightening is the idea of someone dying without having found new life in Christ!
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)
Fear God! He is the One who did everything necessary to make a way for us to have eternal life. He sent His own beloved Son to defeat death and the grave, and nothing anyone on this earth will ever do to you can change that!
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? (Romans 8:31)
Remember, God is always victorious!
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)
