" ...For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Cor. 12:10
How are you doing?
I was watching the 6 O'clock news last night and then the national news. At one point I kind of chuckled. After hearing about a possible war and Covid horrors I thought the bad news of the day was over. Then....more bad news. The economic inflation is going to stay high or get worse. Ba-dum. The final drumbeat on the news.
Well, here is some good news. And hear the good news! Inflation, sickness, even war does not change the fact, (not even one iota) that God has a plan for the entire Universe, the
Physical world, the USA , every state therein, and for you and for me! Yes, He has a plan and it is to benefit His people, us.
Scripture tells us that fact over and over again. Bad things happen, then redemption. God is not going to leave us so called 'high and dry', out in the cold etc. Because even if we pass from this mortal world...He has a plan! That plan is heaven, a paradise where there is no suffering, sadness or grief. Just life eternal in God's glorious light !
Do not let the 'bad news' that this world reports get to you. Instead, let the great, overwhelming, eternal love of God get to you through God's only Son Jesus Christ.
God's joy and hope and life is there waiting for you and those you know to find it. It is a free gift, given in and of grace. It was bought and paid for with the literal blood of Jesus.
Please remember this. God loves you. There is tremendous power and hope in that love. Even when bad things assail you and you feel weak and destroyed, you are strong because it is at those times that we can best see God at work.
What a beautiful God we have and what a wonderful love He gives. That love has a name, a specific name.....Jesus Christ our Lord.
Be blessed
