RIGHTEOUS LIVING THROUGH HARD TIMES

” THE FOUNDATION OF LAW AND ORDER HAVE COLLAPSED. WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?” PSALM 11:3

Does this scripture in Psalm 11 bring anything to mind? It appears that in our country today law and order is under great attack. We continue to see evil take place in the form of destruction of property, people being killed or severly injured and justice being exstinquished for those who have been victims. All of this confusing activity is being accomplished in the name of civil rights. However, our Lord God is a God of order. He is not a God of confusion. So, what do we do? It is important to remember that God is in heaven and that he is still in control. It may not seem like it at times but we must never doubt. We must never leave an opening for the devil and his evil schemes to get in. We must remember and act upon the fact that our God in heaven is our source for the life we live. He will protect us in times of need. He will keep us well fed in times of hunger. He will heal us when we are sick. He will give us hope when we are down. But, we must act upon our faith. We must put our faith into action and never doubt the promises of God. He is forever faithful. Remember, he is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is never changing. He loves us and has given us what we need to not just survive in these times but to thrive in these times. We must continue to pray and praise him for his great strength and compassion for each of his children. We must continue to build our faith each day. We must believe that we receive because he is our source and not the ways of the world. So, what do the righteous do? We continue to believe the promises of God and act upon them. We must do more than just read the bible. We must use it as the roadmap and tool it is meant to be. We must set it into action by stepping out in faith and letting God go to work! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
