Pray He will return soon

Matthew 6:8 Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

Sooooo much on my heart, on my mind, in my thoughts continually of this world I live in. The division of my country, the evil among us, the hearts of those eternally condemned without repentance, the mis-guided focus on idolatry of endless sorts, the lack of biblical leadership in all arenas, the nation that I love seems doomed to destruction……Matthew 12:25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. I find myself living in a time that Satan’s power is evident, and a biblical understanding of the judgement of God brings about the question of if this evil is God’s judgement on us? We are mourning this senseless tragedy in Las Vegas, yet so few cries for the 60 MILLION babies that have been killed in our country just in my lifetime. That blood is on our hands too, and God will hold all those accountable on that Day.

Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount here in Matthew, is his greatest message. It seemingly covers all of life’s needs, all that we will face and question, and all of God’s sovereignty woven into the understanding in it. All you face in life, good and bad, has flowed through the fingers of God. All that you do through the freedom of free-will, still accomplishes his purposes through eternity. One cannot understand the complexity of the One who breathes stars into existence, and allows humanity (his creation also), to have freedom of decisions, yet still ordain their steps through time. Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. If you even look into the following passages, where Jesus taught us how to pray, the Lords Prayer is found. In it’s simplest explanation is the understanding, acceptance, and guidance to remain in God’s will and his control of all of life; to be more like Christ, and trust his control of life. Through an omniscient understanding of all his creation, not bound by time, seeing the past, present, and future the same, he knows our needs before we do. That boundary of time he has placed upon us boggles the mind, but that is where faith lies.

I do not know what tomorrow brings. I do not know where my feet will be, but I trust that He has directed my steps. I do believe we are living in the last days of this world as we know it. I do believe that God is casting some judgement on our nation, just as he used evil to judge the sins of Israel throughout the Old Testament. I do believe we are seeing biblical evidences of the coming return of Jesus to judge the world, and then return it to the perfection he created. I do believe there is a call on every Christian to proclaim this news to those he has put in our circles of influence. He will ask you that Day, why you did not. Live your life as if you knew Jesus was coming back soon……cause he is.
