There are far too many Christians that think that the truest things about this world are the things they can experience with their own senses. But reality is spiritual being playing out in the material. God created a theatre of time and space to unfurl his spiritual glory.
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall. Times are difficult, but we rejoice, because we are one step closer to our eternal home.
Kings and kingdoms will rise and fall, but it is all under the watch of the Ancient of Days. So, live a life of service to Him, that is always about the true King’s business.
Every single person who belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ can look at this world, which is coming to an end, without fear and with joy, because the Ancient of Days rules over the nations.
Work diligently and trust the Lord. Your response to trials and hardships should never be reactionary; they should arise from a resolve built through a life of humble faithfulness to Jesus.
You are not ultimately the king of your own life. There is a king greater than you. Either be humble or be humbled.
It is through the storms that God sends into our lives that we learn who we really are and who God really is. Even the hardships are part of his merciful plan.
If you find yourself in the fiery furnace of this world, know that in the flames of persecution you will see and know the Lord. He will grant you the grace to persevere and He will be right there in the flames with you.
Living in interesting times is not a curse, it is a blessing. In these times, God is calling you on a grand adventure; He is calling you to a life of faithfulness in the light of Jesus.
Trust the Lord when you’re living in exile, no matter the cost. Reject the way Babylon will try to make you rely and trust in it, rather than the Lord God.
