| Jerusalem - Israel The Jews are back in the Holy Land. What will happen next? God has a plan. Trust Him. |
Are
you part of God’s family? Even if you are not a Jew—God’s chosen people—you can
be adopted into God’s family and receive His eternal protection.
But when the right time came, God
sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom
for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own
children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son
into our hearts, prompting us to call out, "Abba, Father." Now you
are no longer a slave but God's own child. And since you are his child, God has
made you his heir. Galatians
4:4-7
Whatever
happens next, those who have accepted Christ as their Savior and thus become
part of God’s family will be spiritually protected by our loving God. Will you
be part of God’s family?
Later,
Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said,
"Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and
the end of the world?" Jesus told them, "Don't let anyone mislead
you, for many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah.' They will
deceive many. And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don't panic.
Yes, these things must take place, but the end won't follow immediately. Nation
will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be
famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. But all this is only the
first of the birth pains, with more to come. ... Sin will be rampant
everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the
end will be saved. And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached
throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end
will come. Matthew
24:3-8, 12-14
Prayer
– Lord God, Abba Father, thank you for Your plan—to save the world by
sacrificing Your only son. I am overwhelmed by Your love and compassion. I
praise You father God, Jesus my Savior, and the Holy Spirit.
Meditate.
Consider how it will be to see God face to face having been adopted into His
family.
Verse
of Salvation ~ Violence will disappear from your land; the desolation and
destruction of war will end. Salvation will surround you like city walls, and
praise will be on the lips of all who enter there. "No longer will you
need the sun to shine by day, nor the moon to give its light by night, for the
LORD your God will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
Your sun will never set; your moon will not go down. For the LORD will be your
everlasting light. Your days of mourning will come to an end. All your people
will be righteous. They will possess their land forever, for I will plant them
there with my own hands in order to bring myself glory. The smallest family
will become a thousand people, and the tiniest group will become a mighty
nation. At the right time, I, the LORD, will make it happen." Isaiah 60:18-22
