The World's Roar - May 14, 2008

Does the world's roar make you cringe and quake? The noise of the modern world, the roar if you will, can make any and all of us feel afraid. You may live in a city where the noise of traffic and sirens awakens you each morning, or you may live in a rural area where the demands of the workday make you tired just by thinking about them. While the lusts of the flesh have not changed since Adam and Eve first ate of the forbidden fruit, the fearsome noise of the world has grown great. Imagine a person from Jesus' time dropped into the world right now. That person's first experience with cars, trucks, jet engines, and the other things that we take for granted each day, would be the most terrifying experience of that ancient person's life. Our bodies and brains haven't changed as much as we might like to think from those bygone days, and the noise and roar of modern life puts a tremendous stress on us. The world's roar does make all of us afraid, though we may not realize it. The peace of Jesus is needed more than ever as we near the end times. Seek His peace in prayer and meditation; enjoy some quiet time with our Lord today.

God bless you all in the name of Jesus!
