Good morning! How are we faithing? What is happening in the world? Wars, rumors of wars, pestilence, famines, floods, droughts, weird diseases spreading, wild fires...I makes one wonder and ask, "why". I think this is the answer;

Psa 9:17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God. 

In my studies this doesn't mean everyone is evil it just means if a nation forgets or denies God, hell comes in to fill the void. People perish for lack of knowledge whether by ignorance or on purpose.

Isa 5:14  So hell has enlarged itself, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their pride, and he who rejoices in her, shall go down into it. 

Man o man, is this what we are seeing?  I believe it is exactly this. As more people walk away from God things will not get back to normal or improve. As believers and witnesses of the love of God we have to be prepared to share his love while preparing for persecution. They killed Jesus so we ought not be surprised when we endure...but...

Isa 60:1  Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

We know we know. Our wretched self has been redeemed! Savor and share!

Heavenly Father, Thank you for salvation. We pray for the lost. We pray for our leaders. We pray we shine in your light and those seeking see it so we can share it! In Jesus name we pray!
