Our world seems to be falling apart. We contend with personal issues during day-to-day life with national and global problems stacked on top. Churches are struggling, families are breaking, and individuals are drowning amidst a flood of hardships. However, my message to you today is TAKE HEART!
No matter what is going on, God is still on the throne! He is still sovereign! He has a plan and a purpose behind everything in life. Nothing that occurs is ever surprising to Him, nor does He ever feel scared. His plans are firm and unalterable, and He will keep each and every one of His promises! Isaiah 46:10 says, “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.'”
Our precious Lord Jesus gave us a solemn reminder in John 16:33. Here is what He said: “In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.” (the Message translation)
GOD IS IN CONTROL. We are not. What may look impossible and imposing to us is not at all to Him! He is all-powerful!
God is always working, and He is doing many great things in the present. Even now, even today, even in this world that seems to be breaking apart at the seams, God is moving and doing so many amazing things! Consider the victorious overturning of Roe vs. Wade (see an article I wrote about the sanctity of life here.) and the other positive Supreme Court decisions! Contemplate the many testimonies of individuals coming to the Lord, personal revivals, and believers on fire for the Lord. There is always hope, and God has good plans for each of us!
So, take heart!! Jesus is with us, He is working, and He has overcome the world!
