Where Do You Go?

I told my friend I certainly understood but we need to remember God is in total control. God causes nations to rise, and God causes nations to fall. My friend was taken aback by my statements. There was silence and I am not certain he really believed my comments.

World events are alarming, and many people are filled with dread. When the bad times come, where do you go? Where do you go for peace? Where do you go while the storms rage? Where do you go for comfort?

Government leaders want you to trust in them to take care of you and provide for your needs. Many decide they cannot trust anyone but themselves. Others trust in their possessions as a means of solstice.

Friends, the government, ourselves, and our possessions are not the solution to the turbulence in America and the world. Only God can provide the answer. As a nation, we need to go to the Lord and do it His way.

We must become Christians by believing and obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Christians, we must obey Jesus by following His commandments (John 14:15, 15:14, and 12:48). We need to stand up and help others “see the Light” (John 8:12). We need to understand we will suffer and have tribulations in this world, but we are to stay faithful to the end (John 16:33, 2 Timothy 3:12, Revelation 2:10).

Where do we go? We go to the Lord. “For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). Also remember the Lord’s invitation: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:28,29).

Jesus is the only answer for our sin sick violent world.

Stay true to the Word,
