FEELING
SAFE IN HAZARDOUS TIMES!
2
Tim 3:1
This
know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
Luke
21:25-26
25
And
there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon
the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for
looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken.
During President Obama's time in office, there have
been four times as many guns purchased as babies born. Americans had 16,107,665
babies between June 2009 and June 2012 -- the bulk of Obama’s presidency
-- according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It may seem
like a high figure, but the number pales in comparison to how many guns
Americans have purchased. Since February 2009, there have been 65,376,373
background checks for Americans looking to buy guns, according to FBI data
cited by conservative website CNSNews.com.
Americans do not feel safe in our own
country.
We fear the spreading violence that has accompanied loose immigration
management. ISIS certainly has made us uncomfortable by bringing into our
country soldiers pretending to be refugees. We fear our own government because
it is now being run by professional politicians who have lost touch with their
constituents. Their decisions are not only godless, sometimes they seem insane.
We fear our own culture.
This was no surprise to either Paul or
Jesus
who warned that “in the last days” perilous times would come. Paul said that
the main cause would be that men would become “lovers of their own selves.”
Jesus said that the “sea and the waves would be roaring” which symbolize the
fact that the world would be in a chaotic state. If we are ever to feel safe we
must run to Jesus as our strong tower.
Prov
18:10
10
The
name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is
safe.
Dear
Lord, perilous times are already here. Keep us safe here until we are safe at
home. AMEN
