Good thoughts in bad times
Psalms 12, for the Godly man stopped appearing: for the faithful fail from among the children of men. They speak vanity everyone with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. The lord shall cut off flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things: Who have said, with our tongue we will prevail; our lips are our own; who is the lord over us?
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighs of the needy, the Lord says now I will rise, I will protect him from him that uses proud words to humiliate him.
The words of the Lord are pure words; like silver placed in a furnace and purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever. The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men are exalted.
During these times of distress, loss of jobs, I have noticed some good from this time. Let us talk about how our churches have move from inside the walls of a building, to the internet so that those who truly need the word of God in their lives can hear it from their Pastors. How instead of being inside a building they are outside giving the gospel, to anyone who can hear from their cars. Imagine all those who are driving by hearing what God has said.
Isaiah 55:10-12 spells it out like this, as rain falls to the earth and does not return but waters the earth, Gods word goes out and completes its work as God desires, so go out with Joy be guided along in peace. Knowing this from Gods heart to yours, all of what has happened is for the glory of God to allow us to preach the Gospel to everyone who God desires to reach before he calls us all home. Beware for the time is at hand only a few items left before the rapture of the church so please reach out for now is the time.
