“Living in Uncertain Times!”

War, Drought, Starvation, Terrorist threats, Uncertain and knowing that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; tell me what manner of persons ought you to be?  [2 Peter 3:11]. Jesus is coming back with a vengeance, handing out judgment to all those that are disobedient and refuse to accept Him as Lord and Savior, I ask you, what manner of person ought you to be?

Knowing that God is planning judgment should bring us all into a sobering reality. You cannot be preoccupied with the cares of this life and neglect the welfare of your soul. That is the tragedy that happened in the days of Noah. UNDERSTAND – Salvation is a gift from God. It is the provision, the escape route that God has made for everybody to escape His judgment and wrath.  Therefore, give the more earnest heed to the things which you have heard, lest at any time you should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall you escape, if you neglect so great salvation; which at first was spoken by the Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him. [Hebrews 2:1-7].

Live a life of wisdom instead of foolishness, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil understanding what the Lord’s will is. We must recognize how short our time is. Moses says in [Psalm 90:12], “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.  If we do not realize how short our time is, we will not make the most of it. Our time is short because death awaits us. It is short because certain opportunities currently before us will not always be there. If you haven’t given your life to God, do it right now, because the next second isn’t promised. Understand that life without God is “futile.” It is empty, worthless, unfulfilling. [Ecclesiastes 1:2] says, “Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.”

I appeal to you therefore, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. [Romans 12:1–2].

Oh, how I love you, Lord! You are my defender. My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. Praise the Lord! The danger of death was all around me; the waves of destruction rolled over me and the grave set its trap for me. In my trouble I called to the Lord. In his temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help. Then the earth trembled and shook; the foundations of the mountains rocked and quivered, because God was angry. The Lord reached down from above and took hold of me; he pulled me out of the deep waters. He rescued me from my enemies, the Lord protected me. He helped me out of danger; he saved me. This God—how perfect are his deeds! How dependable his words! He is like a shield for all who seek his protection. God alone is our defense. The Lord lives! And so, I praise you among the nations; I sing praises to you. [Psalms 18].
