TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” Psalm 24:1
TODAY’S MESSAGE: I have many possessions that I consider to be very valuable to me. If someone were to take them from me, I would be very unhappy or even angry. Let us consider our God in heaven. He created the earth and all that is in it. The earth and everything that exist upon it belong to our God. You and I are also his possessions. We belong to him. He created each of us for a purpose and that purpose is to please him. How do you suppose our Lord feels when he sets back to view the beautiful world he has created and sees it in such disarray? How do you think he feels when he sees the destruction of his beautiful mountains, valleys and rivers? How do think he feels when he sees his children running amuck and doing things that totally against his ways? I would venture to guess that he feels much like you and me when we lose a possession that is dear to our hearts. However, his love for us is greater than his desire to destroy the earth and all who inhabit it. He did that in Noah’s time. You and I have a safety valve. We have a way out of the chaos that is prevalent in this world. Instead of a time of revenge he has created a time of grace. He allowed Jesus to walk this earth and then die on the cross so that we can live. All we have to do is invite him into our hearts and then truly believe. We must continue to live with faith and build our faith up so that our lives are a testimony to him on this earth, and not a testimony to the evil one. Yes, the devil is allowed to do his thing, but we have a chance get out from under his control by the grace of our Lord. The devil is marching to his end. The earth and all that is in it will be made anew in these end days. But we are not there yet. We still have time. Until Jesus returns to harvest his children, we can secure our spot in heaven if we just come to our senses and believe. The time is running short. Let us all get on the train to heaven and not look back. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
