It is with mixed emotions that I turn on the television to watch the daily newscasts. I do want to know what is happening in the world so that I can be aware and pray specifically over various issues. However the events which currently unfold before us are astonishing to say the least and, many times, appalling if not horrific. There are days when, taking into consideration the world conditions, I feel that the Lord's return must be near.
However, the Word of God is a rock and fortress to us. One scripture is especially comforting to me. Romans 8:38-39 says, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (KJV) Furthermore, Psalm 46 assures us that, "God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear, even if earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. The Lord Almighty is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress." (NLT)
With all of this being said, the main issue on my heart is that we should pray daily for the salvation of our friends, peers, and all loved ones. Also my plea is that the Gospel would go forth in power throughout this nation and the world. May God's Word be received by open hearts and result in abundant and eternal life.
