Whatever our Savior Jesus did, it was always said with grace, love, and always in truth.  He only spoke the truth.  His words touched those within His sight when He walked among us.  His words, and ways, continue touching and healing hearts to this very moment.

 

Jesus was not gracious for just a moment in time, but every second of His time was loving, kind and filled with truth.  Truth is a “painful thing” for some. Sometimes we don’t want to face the truth, or hear the truth.  But, as it is said, “the truth will set you free.”  And, Jesus has set us free by coming, and defeating death.  Our very author of salvation cleansed us with His purity and His blood that was shed for all mankind.

 

The world is in chaos, and the enemy seems to be having a field day…especially these past several weeks. Confusion is” knocking” on many people’s doors.  And, the advice Jesus would probably offer is “don’t open the door”  God is not the creator of confusion, pain, or jarring images.  He is the creator of peace with love  and powerful  tranquility.

 

The images on television, and in our news is quite disturbing.  But, Jesus warned us over and over, that it would get really bad before it gets any better.  These things, war, famine, earthquakes in diverse places all mark the prophecy of those expressed and shared in the Bible.  And, Jesus tells us don’t worry…but beware of the signs so we won’t be deceived.  “For many will come in My name, saying I am He, and will deceive many.  But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is no yet.  For nation will rise against nation, and kingdowm against kingdom.  And there will be earthquakes in various palcs, and there will be famines and troubles.  These are the beginnings of sorrows.” John 13:6-8 NKJV

 

 

God is still on the throne. So, take heed and be reassured He is in control.  Feel His love, and His protection, as we go forth in His name.  People are always throwing around words like: “the end of the world is near.”    Don’t panic by listening to “man” but rather, listen to the calming and loving tones of Jesus Christ.

 

There will be many signs around.  It is our job to “listen” and “see” and be in the “Word” of God in order to advance without feeling anxious or fearful.   Careful not to listen to the “false voices” claiming to know the future…or “man’s doctrine.”    “Then if anyone say to you, Look here is the Christ! or, look, He is there! do not believe it.  For false christs and false prophets will rise adn show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.  But take heed, see, I have told you all things beforehand.” John 13-21-23 NKJV  

 

 

So although there are perilous and baffling issues that float about today…those of us who know His voice, and His Words, and His promises, can rest assured that HE IS IN CONTROL.  That He will allow only so much to transpire, and He is always watching.  We are never alone.

 

As we go forward and delve into His Word and meditate on His word, we discover so much more each time.  There are so many facets of God.  His magnitude and prolific presence is all around us.  We feel His love in all aspects of our daily life. From the moment we open our eyes in the morning, we realize He has graced us with another day.  To the moment we arrive safely to our given destinations during the day, He has protected us.  To the moment we encounter friends, family…people we offer Godly counsel to, or a smile and touch of the hand. This is all thanks to God.  To the moment we get ready for another night of sleep, as He watches over us.  We sleep, but God NEVER DOES.  He watches us, protects us constantly.  Again, how reassuring is that?

 

So to those who are facing issues, personal or otherwise…those of you who are lonely and fearful, or those in need of a caring voice, or kind word, it’s okay.  Because God hears, sees, and knows.  He is with you each step of the way from the moment you are born, to the moment you leave this earth.  You are NEVER ALONE.  He is ALWAYS THERE.  

 

 So, open your arms and walk into His loving embrace, and offer your love in return.  There is no one anywhere in this entire Universe who loves you like He does.   Now, seriously… don’t you feel better just knowing that?
