Psalm 125:1-2, “Those who trust in the Lord are like
Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains
surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people both now and forevermore.”
There are a lot of good people in this world that
believe we have hit the “end times.” People worried about a myth of “global
warming.” Others afraid of the Mayan Calendar, and Planet X causing massive
global floods. Others believe America is going to hell in a handbasket because of
Gay Marriage, and liberals in control of the government media complex. Isis,
Iran, radical Islam have many in fear, or looking for Christ return.
If these are your concerns, if these thoughts consume
you… cause you to hoard food, ammo, or make survival plans, then I would
challenge you to stop and reflect on your relationship to God. If you think a homosexual
getting “married” has anything to do with your own salvation then turn inward.
Examine your own heart, and call out to God for wisdom. Proverbs 2:6, “For the
Lord Gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
To those who think global violence is a sign of Christ
return, for those who “fear” the tribulation, I would remind you of Jesus’ own
words. Matt 24:6, “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you
are NOT frightened, for those things must take place, but THAT IS NOT YET THE
END.”
For those worried about floods, either by Planet X of
Global Warming… God will not be found a liar. Genesis 9:11, is as true today as
it was the day He spoke it. “I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh
shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there
again be a flood destroy the earth.”
For those who think Gay Marriage is the end of
America, please read John 8. Sin is sin is sin. There is no distinction between
adultery, homosexuality, lying, or any other sin. And yet Christ said, “He who
is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone…”
Have faith. Have faith that does not worry about
predicting the future, but trust in God being in complete control of it.
Believe what Paul wrote in Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things
to work together for good to those who love God…”
Love God, and everything else will take care of
itself.
Never forget Psalms 24:1, “The earth is the Lord’s,
and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it.”
The end is not near, no nearer than it was a thousand
years ago. Pursue God, love God, and you will be undeterred by these distraction.
You will stand in confidence on your day of judgment.
