DAY 48 – WAITING FOR PENTECOST


THE WORLD’S SAD SITUATION

Romans 12:9 (Berean Study Bible)
Love must be sincere.  Detest what is evil; cling to what is good. 

That is a pretty strong edict!  We live in a world that currently courts evil – embraces it – and calls it good. 

It is heartbreaking that it is so, but it was prophesied as being what will happen before metered time ends – and the meter is running out….

I should be gloriously happy for my eternal future –  but the anticipated joy is tinged with sadness.  The root of the sadness comes for all those who refuse God’s message of love, those who do not cling to what is truly good.  God alone is truly good!  He and he alone is the plumb line for GOOD.  Good is parametered by him.  Without Him we have nothing – eternally.  That’s huge! 

The world is on a slippery slope leading to certain destruction – and seems not to care!

Jesus warned what would come at the end of time – and we are there. 

I am grateful for the promises we can hold on to:

Matthew 28:20 ESV
I am with you always, to the end of the age. 

Romans 8:38-39 ESV
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

John 16:33 ESV
“…I have said these things to you that in me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation.  But take heart; I have overcome the world.”


Lord, have mercy!  Peel away the scales from the eyes of all who seek Truth.  The search begins and ends with YOU!
