These Troubles Times
In Troubled times such as theses many people are forced to scale back,
to take jobs that pay way less (if they can be found), do with out
certain things and just live a lot different in order to survive. There
is no exception to the pressures of this day and time. The only
exception is the way a person handles these uncertain times. Some
people will resort to violence and crime, some families will split up
over money and bills. It will bring confusion in many homes turning man
and his wife against one another. Many a hurtful words will be
spoke.These kind of things ought not to be and they always happen in
times like we are experiencing now. Some Christians will be sorely
tested and some will come through these troubled times with a mountain
moving faith. But what happens if you do not have that mountain moving
faith? Then that mustard seed faith will provide, Because that is were
all mountain moving faith comes from. It starts as a grain of mustard
seed. All great men of faith went through trying times and they all
started with that mustard seed faith. Until Jesus comes and makes me
whole I will not be denied! That means health, finances, food, shelter,
and all my needs. He is my great provider and yours!
I believe that all Christians should keep their thoughts in perspective
and rely on the teachings that we find in the Bible and remain solidly
focused on them. The scriptures plainly tell us in Philippians that "Our God will supply all our needs." With
that in mind our focus on the times that we live in today should be
steadfast and not change as long as the Lord tarries no matter how
difficult the economic times may appear to be. We must be true to our
faith through it all. In other words in times like theses we must not
only talk the talk, but we must walk the walk. God said in his word that He "would not fall thee or forsake thee" Let
us remember this that He is a God in the valley as well as a God of the
Mountains. Now is the time to draw nigh to God and call upon His name.
I believe that time is winding up and it is near the coming of the
Lord. Who knows what we all must face before Our Lord appears. I can
say this with all confidence my eyes is on Jesus for I know who holds
tomorrow and I know who holds my hand.
I, with all my heart, firmly believe that we are living on the fringes
of the tribulation, in the time when we are to look toward heaven for
our Lords Coming. All we have to do is read the many prophecies that
are in the Bible, ones that are full filled and the ones that are yet
to be full filled to know that our Lords coming is soon and very soon.
