Although the midterm elections were a complete disaster for my people, conservatives with a Biblical worldview, somehow the results are exactly what we anticipate!
OUR HOPE IS IN THE LORD GOD, THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH!
He is in charge of every government. He wields the power through kings and lords, presidents and politicians.
He brings His plans to fruition, and when I see the salt and light diminishing I can only PRAISE GOD that He has a plan, and according to Scripture, the plan to catch us away from this mess. The Restrainer will be taken away, as prophesied. We are seeing this!
Persecution will come. Holding Biblical values is extremely unpopular in this ever increasingly Islamic world.
Fraud will abound.
The people have spoken: everyone is fine with fraud.
(I am not)
So, as one who gets easily discouraged in this difficult and troubled world, my tendency is to pray.
Keep a low profile and pray.
I will cry in my closet, focus on the sweetness in my life, and power through the persecution.
I will ignore the haters and love my enemies as I encounter them (which I will, every single day.)
I will find my “tribe” and be myself with them.
I will be kind and courteous to everyone.
I will fix my eyes on Jesus, and trust Him in every encounter.
I will hope in Him alone, tell His truth, and focus on sharing the simplicity of the Gospel: Jesus Saves.
We must begin to accept the terrible stories of the martyrs as our own, meeting rejection and pain with trust and love.
But I do hope that the Rapture comes soon. It is our blessed hope, His glorious appearance!
I am looking for a little sailboat these days. It’s the time to buy, and I want to get back into sailing. The Christopher Cross song is so appropriate today…
MARANATHA!
