Times are changing from "His Kindness Year Round"


I wrote these words for my personal journal, but feel the nudge to share.

Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise.”

Events ranging from local to worldwide have, and will continue, to change and develop rapidly.   We, as Christians, need to realize these actions are part of God's warnings predicted in His true and Holy Word, the Bible. 

Current times are meant to prepare us and not to worry or frighten us. 

A sister reminded me we need to focus on the Word and not the world.  Be aware of what is occurring, but let your thoughts dwell on Jesus.

Psalm 91:11 “For He will order His angels to protect you wherever you go.”

The end of time is nearing.   Read 2 Timothy 3:1-10 about the last days.  We, as Christians, should prepare ourselves for these times.  If we haven't done so already, ensure friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and those we don’t know are ready for judgment.  Read Revelation. 

Revelation 1:3 “God blesses the one who reads the words of this prophecy to the church, and He blesses all who listen to its message and obey what it says, for the time is near.”

It's not a time to be afraid.  Each day that passes is one day closer to being with our Savior.  Eternity is forever, and there is no comparison to life on earth and life in eternity.  This is a glorious thought!
  
As the darkness of the world increases, the Light, Jesus, increases.   It's not a period to be sad or fret, but to prepare and ensure others are also prepared for His return. It’s time, brothers and sisters in Christ, to unite for His Kingdom, and invite others to join us.

Faith and fear cannot occupy the same place at the same time.  Exercise your faith. 

It’s a time to pray for those around you and those in other nations.  Pray for Christians.  Pray for non-Christians.  Pray for those persecuted. 

Daily trials may not be easy, but spending eternity with the Lord will be more than worth it.  I intend not to alarm, but to remind that the words of the prophets are coming to pass. Get ready!

Hebrews 10:34-39 “You suffered along with those who were thrown in jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy.  You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.  So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord.  Remember the great reward it brings you!  Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will.  Then you will receive all that He has promised.  **‘For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay.  And my righteous ones will live by faith.  But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.’  But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction.  We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.”  (**As prophesied in Habakkuk 2:3-4.)

Your sister in our Lord,

Robin
