"Sure as His Word"

"O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for Thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah." (Psalms 67:4) I hope you know it's going to get worse. You can pray for the leaders and the way things are going all you want to, but Jesus said it would be this way, so you had better focus upon your house and your own choices. Hey, "This is a test; in the event of an actual emergency, you would not get any warning!" That's the way I see it. The NLT has "govern" as "guide"; which I find very interesting, especially if you prescribe to the belief that God is actually on the throne, and He only lets certain things happen; therefore, it makes perfect sense that we can "be glad and sing for joy", even when this ship is going down! On that note, our duty or obligation as a follower of Jesus Christ is to preach the Gospel to a dying world. The ship might be sinking, faster and faster as we go, but we have a life saving message for those that are going to perish. Unfortunately, the world is giving out false messages that give no assistance at all; if anything, they just add weight to their lost souls, by buying lie after lie, and totally refusing the actual truth. Yesterday I heard several bits and pieces of messages that spoke of end times and Revelations; but the one thing that stands out the most, was from Dr. Chuck. Speaking about Revelations, he said something about the fact that it mentions over and over about "Wow, to those that dwell upon the earth"; but he went on to say, "we are not earth dwellers, we are pilgrims here, awaiting our true home." Very interesting concept! If you really want to give someone that is in a sinking ship something to hold onto, then being outside of that ship will sure make a difference...
"For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so He could have mercy on everyone. Oh, how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand His decisions and His ways! For who can know the LORD'S thoughts? Who knows enough to give Him advice? And who has given Him so much that He needs to pay it back? For everything comes from Him and exists by His power and is intended for His glory. All glory to Him forever! Amen. And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice - the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him. Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." (Romans 11:32-12:2) NLT
