” Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. ” Psalm 27:14
” Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning, as though you were waiting for your master to return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let him in the moment he arrives and knocks.” Luke 12: 35-36
” You also must be ready all the time for the Son of Man will come when least expected.” Luke 12:40
There is a purpose. God has a purpose in everything he does, and he has a purpose for everything we do. Whether we are going through ups or downs in our lives our God has a plan. He created this plan in the beginning and has never changed it. You and I are a part of his plan. As followers of Jesus, we are soldiers in the army of God. Our party is not Democrat or Republican but instead we are the party of faith. We put on our uniform each day and go out into the world weaponized with the true word of God and all the tools necessary to overcome the evil that comes against us. We can rest assured that our God in heaven is working behind the scenes to confront and defeat the devil at this own game. Those who are evil in this world should be concerned, they should be fearful of what is happening. The devil knows. He knows exactly what his future is. He knows Jesus personally and even tried hard to get Jesus to change uniforms. Our faith in the truths and the promises of our Lord are what carry us forward. It is faith that reminds us that the Holy Spirit lives in us and directs us in good and bad situations. It is our faith that allows us to be strong in the Word and not be fearful or worried about the things to come. As humans we do get concerned from time to time and I believe that our Lord is ok with that. It is through the fires that we walk that our faith becomes even stronger. Each time we overcome, each time we are victorious, each time we have troubles, we know for a fact that our Lord God in heaven has his hand in the issue and will turn those troubles into good for his purposes. We are His children! We are His army! He has a plan and a purpose, and we are a part of it! Let us be patient in waiting on Him. He is about to come back, and we are to be ready. We are to stand up and be fearless in these troubled times! Jesus is coming soon! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
