Good Morning! Does it seem to you that the world has gone a little haywire lately? Celebrities travel thousands of miles to adopt a third world orphan when the cost of their travel alone might feed hundreds. The longer our military occupies Iraq and Afghanistan, the worse the news seems to become each day. Another congressional scandal here, a political scandal in Israel, some countries where political scandal is so commonplace that no one bothers to report the events. Women without babies murdering pregnant women and stealing the baby from their womb. Shootings in schools and workplaces. Ghastly sentence fragments in my devotionals. Okay, maybe the last one is not reason to fly to the hills just yet; however, while leaping to the conclusion that the time is now might be premature, ignoring the signs might be just as bad or worse. We realize that every generation has seen signs of the end times, and that ours may be no different with respect to knowing that glorious day when Jesus comes back to this world. But this also just might be the signs leading to the final tribulation. We probably shouldn’t strap on a placard with “repent, the time is at hand” stenciled on it and walk the town square, but we should be praying for and spreading the message to those around us. Even the secular folks will admit that something is not entirely right in the world these days. Do you trust our modern medicine, our government, the company you work for, your retirement funds, or even your family? Any or all of them can be gone virtually overnight; just read Job if you need further proof. Our money, of all things, actually has it correct; “In God We Trust”. Atheists may want to remove it, secularists may ignore it, but as for you and I, we believe!
God bless you,
Bucky
