It truly is a time for each of us to be courageous. The world is on fire. Potential Middle East conflict has the ability to escalate into an all out war involving many countries. Some believe it will signify the close return of Christ. Then again it still may not happen at this time. A horrific hurricane destroying parts of North Carolina with over 120 dead and counting. Unbelieveable destruction. Threats from China regarding Tawain and in the middle of all of this, inflation is surging again due to lowering interest rates and results of the longshoreman strike. It is definitely time to be courageous.
Scripture warns us of these things that will take place. It does become a great test for each of us. Where do you stand? Do you still trust God? Do you believe He is still working all things for your good? Many of the above may touch each of us in a personal way with shortages in food and medicine. Medicine is especially hard if you have a sick child and that medicine makes the difference. These are things we face. We were never promised an easy road once we decided to submit our obediance to Christ. In fact we were told the opposite. Know though if you choose Christ, the road may be bumpy, but you will succeed. You will overcome in the end. This is not our home. Hold on to that. Something so much better is still to come!
