Just hold on

If you know God’s Word then you’ve read Revelation so you know what’s coming. If you watch a lot of cable TV like I do you can start to panic a little bit because the airwaves are filled with evil run rampant and the world seems to be falling apart. Just step back a minute and take a deep breath. Try to relax. God’s got this.  God is sovereign and He is in complete control of His planet. Everything that is happening around us is foretold in the Bible and is unfolding according to God’s will. God tells us repeatedly in the Bible not to worry.  As believers we belong to God and our destiny is in heaven so nothing of any eternal consequence can befall us here on earth. Each of is appointed a time to die and we have no control over that. What we can control is our attitude and keeping our focus on God. We are simply to persevere in our walk with God, do the works God has planned for us to do and offer continuous praise and worship to God in heaven until we’re called home.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 – He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Phil. 4:6 – Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Phil. 4:11 – I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

Isaiah 43:13 – From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can oppose what I do.
