Our Lord wants to fellowship with us; He is looking for followers and believers, people who are willing to listen to His words of love and compassion, who are interested in living in peace, who want something more than what this world's 'wisdom' can provide. He has shown His love to humanity by the gift of life, a beautiful world to live in, food, shelter, and the honor of having a free will; we make choices that impact every day of our lives, but the choice that really matters, is the one where we choose to live for God or for ourselves.
That choice determines our future, and it is the most important choice we will ever have to make. Many people choose to believe they don't have to make this choice, or they ignore the problems of the world, believing that someone else will come along and fix everything for them, but time is running out. We no longer have the luxury of 'passing the buck' to the next person, or to the next generation, for the sins of the pasts are finally catching up to this generation, the generation I believe that will see second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We have an obligation to live as well as any christian can live in this world, to show kindness and consideration to everyone we meet, to show the love of Christ that is expressed from our hearts, and to offer the treaty of peace, the word of God, and the salvation that only comes from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
While everyone is trying so desperately to change the world by politics and wishful thinking, our job is to be good citizens and live out our lives as Christ's disciples. While other people are marching in the streets provoking violence and hate, we need to be in prayer for ourselves, our neighborhoods and our countries.We need to call upon the Lord for courage and strength, to fight the good fight against the evil forces of this world, the real enemy, the devil and his forces, who are bringing humanity and this world ultimately to destruction.
The first thing we must do, is to ask the Lord what He would want us to do in our own personal situations, and how we can help in our local communities; we need to pray for our country and for the world. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and ask that His will be done in the earth and not our own. We know that darker times are ahead of us; the evil doers must be judged, and the world will pay the price for their rebellion. So, now is the time to seek His face diligently and urgently, for all of the world's problems can only be solved in the providence, peace, and the love of Jesus Christ.
Once you have received the answer to your prayers, please don't ignore it or be afraid to do what He has asked you to do; He will give you the power to do whatever He has planned for your life. We can't do anything for ourselves without Him, so love Him, obey Him, and give Him reign over your life.
May the Lord keep you and Bless you this day....AMEN
