Troublous times make up our surroundings and troublous times are yet ahead. However, we are told that these are the beginnings of sorrow, “…famines, and pestilences (Coronavirus), and earthquakes, in divers places. “ (Matt. 24:7-8)
Presently,
fires rage in California; storms and flooding are sweeping through the southern
states; the U.S.A. is leading the death toll for Covid-19, and there is “No
Justice and No Peace”, to be found in the land, or so it seems.
With
the growing rate of crime, by citizens and police, rising unemployment and the
threat of a racial civil war threatening the outcome of the U.S. election, it may
seem that there is little or no hope!
But
the Scriptures bid us to “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in
the power of His Might.” Ephesians 6:10
Therefore, my brothers and
sisters, place your hope; your faith; your trust in God and you’ll never need
to worry about any of the things I’ve mentioned above. God has promised, “… for with the Lord there is
mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.” So, be of good cheer.
