Our God reigns! He’s totally aware of our world situation and has been working on His behalf since time began. To watch what’s happening in our nation and make a conclusion about God is backwards; Look at God and make a conclusion about our Nation! Interpretation and application of God’s Word and Will with respect to our world situation takes time in the Word, time with Him, and prayer.
Jesus said that we, as His children, would have difficulties in “the world” because the World hates Him and will hate us as His children. The difficulties Jesus referred to are those that arise when we think and act in a manner that brings honor to Him...not the unwise, carnal thinking and acting that also brings difficulties. Suffering is hard. Suffering for righteousness is not the same as suffering from our own selfish decisions and choices.
The world and it’s pull on our flesh is a fact; the Holy Spirit in us and His “pull” and leading, guiding, teaching, moving us along towards “righteousness” is a FACT! One will not last; ONE will!
To walk under the claims of Christ and His word daily is to walk headlong into the winds of the “world, the flesh, and the devil.” Our direction will never Change under God’s word; the wind of the flesh will also never change. When we feel “no wind” in our face we should be very much aware and get out His Word, our compass and spiritual “GPS”, to assure that we’ve not turned around and now walking “with” the world! Christian friends and biblical accountability are mandatory to help us stay walking “true north.”
I pray for you dear ones today that as you grow older, “...the world will grow strangely dim and empty, in the light of His glory and grace.”
JerryCol 1:18b “...that in all things, Christ might have the supremacy!”
