I don’t have to go into details or examples of how weird things have been lately. Strange unheard of occurrences happening — seems like everyday, and intensifying. What gives with all that? I mean is it a God thing? Or is it the result of weather phenomenons caused by geo-engineers?
I hope you hear me out to the end. What I’m about to say is meant to be an encouragement. I hope my words can be gleaned in that way. I want to help us all be prepared. It’s not easy to say these things but I don’t want any of you to fall through the cracks of fear and worry.
If what I’m hearing is spot on, things - some caused by man and some by God - will get worse for a short while before it improves. This can be disheartening.
For those of us who know Jesus we should take all our fears, laments and concerns to Him. He has each of us in His hands. No matter how hard it is to believe He does care or will turn things around, we must trust Him.
Jesus is our Heavenly Avenger who has the Father’s plan and the final word.
His plan is to bring our focus back to Him and make things better. In my experience, in order to improve one area of my life, God had to remove something else. Of course, I didn’t even realize that an adjustment was necessary.
I was recently reminded about the Israelites in Joshua 5:2-9. After they crossed over the Jordan River, they’re told there’s a little thing the elders neglected to do.
Circumcision.
As a result all the men had to endure the painful act of removing their foreskin in order to be right before God.
We have seen and heard of so much loss, but it is not done yet. There is still more to come. The lives we see lost are not lost to God. They have only shifted from the earthly realm to the eternal one. Our loss is eternity’s gain. So as we see more unusual phenomenons and deal with unfolding truths, let’s lean on Jesus through prayer and the reading of His Word. Let’s agree with Him that His plan will be victorious. Let’s be prepared for a revival to hit our land, as well as other nations of the world.
These are the days that God is restoring his church to be a light to the nations. Keep your eyes on him. Don’t take your eyes off Jesus. In fact, by focusing on the Lord we can show those around us who Jesus is and what The Almighty can do.
Jesus is our defender, our shepherd, our restorer, our hope who will never leave us. (Hebrews 3:6; 13:5-6 ; Psalm 33:20) He’s got this.
As an end note: I recently heard that multiple children being rescued from the earthquake rubble speak about a man in white staying with them, feeding them, and playing with them. Like I say, there's always hope.
