Has The World Gone Mad?

But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
    and he will stand upon the earth at last.

Job 19:25 

 

Watch the news; scroll down Facebook; read the paper and it will appear as if the world has gone mad!  Almost every day someone goes on a rampage!  Every day someone or group protests because they were offended by something or someone!  Almost every day you hear about another Law Enforcement Officer being shot or a school being shot up or some theater or some government building.  It's as if we are beginning to go to war against ourselves!

 

This continuous news is distressing.  It's frustrating!  It's depressing.  It's demoralizing.  And if we let it get to us, we will begin to wonder whether God really is in control.  The Pit Dweller appears to have ramped up his game in his efforts to cause us to fear and doubt.  But I urge you....I urge you with every ounce of my soul....Stay Strong!  Claim the promise that Job did when he was going through the worst time of his life: "I KNOW that my Redeemer lives!"  

 

I'm not saying that everything will be hunky-dory for us because we believe, but we will have the strength to resist the Pit Dwellers tricks!  We can rejoice that God does live and He IS in control even when it seems the world is falling apart around us.  Remember Noah?  The entire world was destroyed by flood but Noah knew his Redeemer lives, and he was saved.  How about you?  Does your Redeemer live or will the Pit Dweller (who stinks of smoke) steal your faith?

 

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES!
