Topic: Day and Night (07/10/14)
Alarmist bells ring constantly in our ears. The earth is warming, the earth is cooling. There is a food crisis; we are all about to starve. There is too much food; we eat the wrong types of food; we are becoming obese. War is breaking out; we’ll all be doomed. O dear, what do we do?

Dig into God’s word, that’s what, and get the true story from him. God is the one who knows the end from the beginning; he holds the whole world in his hands. Do we believe it? Do we trust him? If we trust him with our souls for eternity, can we not trust him with our lives here on earth?

I know we are not immune from trouble. I know Christians are sometimes the most persecuted and abused people on earth. This is nothing new, and I must confess, I am glad I live in a country free from persecution for my faith. How would I hold up, I sometimes wonder, if I was thrown into prison and tortured?

But when the alarmists try to trouble me, I hold on to God’s word. I read As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease. (Genesis 8:22) I read that I am to meditate on God’s word day and night (Joshua 1:8 and Psalm 1:2).

I read that in eternity … there will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. (Revelation 22:5). What a glorious day that will be!

Our troubles and sorrows are but for a moment. Our new life with God will be for ever. May I live in faith and joy while I am waiting for that glorious day.


Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

You are so correct. It is God's Word that keeps us free from fear. There are many challenges about health, finances, weather patterns, etc., but God will always show us the way to go, the way He wants us to go, if we only believe and trust in Him.

Right on! This is so on topic and so true. Who are we depending on? Well, if it's God then be still and know that He can take care of business.

Yeah! You nailed it. Thanks for sharing.
