Good Thursday morning! I am glad to be here writing for you! We are in another two or three day heat wave, it may hit 96 today. No complaints about this summer; the Lord has blessed us with good rainfall and little heat. Speaking of good/bad, I read this morning that the government's CARS program is not doing good by everyone. Used car dealers, used parts users, and charities are all being hurt by the program. It seems that the government cannot provide a panacea for our troubles. Have you seen the reports of emotional outbursts at health care reform meetings? Not everyone wants the government to put its big boots on top of the health care industry; others want the same boots to stomp down hard. Another issue with no easy answers. I think most of us have one concern with the health care industry... what about me? Those with insurance have noted the rising deductions and out-of-pocket costs, those without wonder if one medical problem will wipe out every cent and stitch we own. How does someone without Jesus in his heart stand the strain of this?
We can easily tell that God's will is not being done in all that we read and see in the news these days. Thinking back to the years that I tried to get by on my own, I often wonder how I managed. Of course, now that I can look back with the Holy Spirit in my heart, I know that God looked after all of us even when we tried to ignore Him. At the moment, the world is held safely by God. However, many still look for a savior they can touch and feel. The prince of this world will be allowed to respond to that search in the near future when the Anti-Christ comes on the scene. You might look at the Anti-Christ and his minions as the final piece of evidence against those who will refuse to believe in Jesus. The real savior has come to earth, gone to the grave, and returned; if a person refuses to believe in Him, that person will have no defense or defender when the false messiah comes. We can easily see the many problems in the world today. Imagine how easy it would be to believe in someone who showed up and began solving those same problems quickly, efficiently, and charismatically! Such a person might put on a front of humility and compassion to sway millions to his side.
As more problems come to light in this life, the more people on this earth will come to realize their need for a savior. As always, they are going to have a choice. Let us work to make sure they are fully aware of choosing Jesus as the only way to eternal life!
God bless and keep you this day,
Bucky
