Habakkuk 2:4
"Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith."
NKJV
When we look at the world around us, we see corrupt governments, sinful behaviors and the devil wreaking havoc in people's lives. This causes us to cry out, "Lord Jesus, come," but as we pray this, we also need to walk in faith. We need to trust that God's plan is better than ours. He may be allowing the suffering to continue for a little longer so that others may come to salvation through Jesus. The good news is that one day He will return and when He does, all things will be made right and our world will never be the same. This is not a fairy tale, this is reality. Yes, we believe it by faith, but our faith is in the One God who has proven Himself faithful time and time again.
Life Lesson: When Christ returns, the world will be remade, our flesh will be made new and the devil will be destroyed.
Dear God,
Thank You for the promises in Scripture. Give me the faith to trust in those promises regardless of what I am feeling or what I see in the world around me. I believe with my whole heart that You are God, that Jesus is my Savior and that He will one day return. Give me the power to share this message of hope with all those around me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

My Comments: It is very easy to get caught up in concern
about how the world is going and especially how the government is working (or
not) in our own country. Yet we are called to trust Him at all times and in all
things He will take care of us. Simple yet at times when we listen to ourselves
talk we wonder do we really trust Him to take care of things or do we feel He
needs our meddling? He tells us to make disciples not change governments. He tells
us to pray without ceasing not to get people to sign petitions. Not to say we should not do these things yet they should not
be our major concern or thoughts.
Satan loves to get us off on rabbit trails. He likes to stir
us up and make us nervous and have lack of faith and trust in the Lord. He is
the one who said to Eve, “Did God really say ?” Friends he is very good at
getting us turned around and looking at other things just as if we were 2 years
old. You’ve seen them when they are busy doing something and a bright shinny
object goes by they follow it well we are like that and we are supposed to keep
our eyes focused on God and our energies should be used to bring Him glory and
to show the world our faith in Him who created the world.
Yes, we help out our brothers and sisters in the body who
are suffering in other parts of the world like China and Africa by sending aid
or going if the Lord puts that on our hearts and we sign petitions to stop
marriages between any one other than one man and one women and we try to save
unborn children or after birth children and even old and not so hale and hearty
yet it is with our eyes on the Creator not the created!
We are not to live in fear or frustration because things are
going the wrong way. We are called as His to rejoice because He has all in
control and we are called to trust Him at all times unceasingly.
Abba help us to trust You and keep our faith strong in You
and help us to know that no matter what is happening around us and in our lives
that You Father have everything in control. Lay on our hearts the prayers You
want us to be sending as a sweet sweet perfume up to You. Remove the scales
from our eyes and let us not listen to the deceiver. May we shore up Your words
in our hearts that when times are hard and seem bleak that Your words will
bubble up and strengthen our faith and build our trust in You. Thank You Abba
that You have everything in control and help us to believe that with our whole
hearts and minds. We praise You Lord for all You are doing seen and unseen as
we know whatever it is it is the right thing that needs to be done in our
lives, families, countries and the world. Amen
