For those of us who consider the work of the Lord to be important and uninterrupted work, take heart. Turn your eyes toward heaven and see the glory of the Lord in these days, weeks, months, and possibly years to come. The Lord warned us centuries ago in 1 Thess 4: 16,17 that "...the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord".
His warning echoes as we see a world in chaos, countries battling countries, with leaders making remarks that are deadly, infection spreading like wildfire in the United States and beyond, and 11-year-old little girls getting ready to accept birth control pills without the knowledge or consent of their parents. There is so much more going on that we are not even aware of, but enough to give us pause to pray and ask God to "Come Quickly" (Maranatha) and place us in our mansions in glory.
The world is getting "heavy" and hopefully, those of you who will read this blog, place NONE of your hopes in this world but rather in Our Lord Jesus Christ as our Provider and Protector for eternity.
If you do not have that assurance, I will be happy to discuss it with you and I know of many others who are willing to do the same. You can reach me via email at dstallings2@qwest.net or you can respond directly to this post.
God loves you!
