Static Truth in A Dynamic World


We live in an ever-changing world, which goes without saying. Things have gone completely topsy-turvy with laws being passed which declare evil good and good evil. People are cold and mean to each other, and political correctness trumps what it is right and wrong as declared by God. It can be so easy to be sucked into it all and get upset and frustrated. (I am guilty of this quite often, though I'm working on keeping my focus on God.)
Luckily, we don't have to pay attention to everything going on in this world. We need to lean on these truths whenever we feel overwhelmed:
  1. God is in control. (see Proverbs 19:21)
  2. God is still on the throne. (see Hebrews 12:2)
  3. If you kneel before God, you can stand before any man. (see Ephesians 3:14)
The world may be severely messed up (and it is!), but we have to remember that it was also really messed up when Jesus walked the earth. And He overcame the world once and for all (see John 16:33)! Let's block out all of the noise and remember that we are citizens of Heaven passing through the world for training.

Make it an awesome day and God bless!
