I am absolutely positive that you have noticed how inundated with news and tragedy our everyday lives in the West have become. In this environment, it can be hard not to feel that the end times are near! Yet, God has told us that no one knows the day or the hour when the Son of God will return. So, while things seem to be brewing and as we witness both the exciting and the troubling, let us not forget to stay on the path. We must be faithful to reading God’s Word and building our lives on Him as our firm foundation.
It is having God as our foundation that will allow us to truly grieve for those who have been victims in our world. It is God as our foundation that will keep us safe in the age of artificial intelligence. How our times have changed! Luckily, God has not! He is on the move. He has made His deep, powerful presence available to us all, and if we look we can see countless examples of how Christ redeems.
Iran is a great example of God’s moving. Did you know that mission groups claim that there are around 10 million new Christians in Iran? Not something you will generally hear reported on the news, but I certainly think it is newsworthy!
God is on the move! We must continue to pray and trust Him to lead us. We must read His word and learn how to hear and know Him. Let’s stay connected to our calling by being consistent and bold in the testimony of Christ Jesus. Today is a good day to continue on!
