There is so much chaos in our world right
now! You can’t tell me that those people rioting and “protesting” for more than
60 days in Portland, Oregon are seeking peace. It is best to just stay away
from major metropolitan cities if at all possible right now—just too much
trouble. The peacefulness of smaller towns is just that…peaceful. That is what
people in my community of nearly 300,000 are seeking…and finding. Peace. Although there have been
demonstrations that were noted in the local paper and the usual knifing and
drive-by shootings that our police departments have appropriately handled. We
have good police protection here that generally provides a peaceful environment
and just what the people of our community are searching for. Peace. Happiness.
Secure employment opportunities. Good Education, K-12 plus college.
Entertainment and recreation. Religious freedom. We have it all here. No
rioting necessary. We don’t want any more COVID-19 virus…so wear your mask.
Survival at some level is what we all desire…right after love and acceptance. God
has promised to give you your heart’s desires if you trust and obey Him.
Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desires. Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you. Psalm 37:3-5
Seek the Lord while there is time. We never know how many days we have left on this earth…so put your trust in the Lord Jesus today and tell others about Him. Can you do that?
Prayer ~ Lord Jesus, You said…”Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them." John 14:21. I love You, Lord. Please continue to reveal more of Your character and love to me and help me to share You with others.
Verses
of Salvation ~ Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a
child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too. We
know we love God's children if we love God and obey his commandments. Loving
God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome. -
1 John 5:1-3
Are you a child of God? If not, what are you looking for?
