What’s This World Coming To?
Some days I’d just as soon not turn on the news, check my news feed online, or even look at Facebook.
Every time I do, there is more bad news of another police officer shot, people rioting and destroying, someone robbing someone, pastors and other key leaders having affairs, people hurting little children, the list goes on and on.
It worries me that our world has gotten so out of control. Then I stop and wonder, is it really any more out of control than it’s always been, or is our access to media just making it seem that way?
Or, perhaps Satan is fighting harder because he knows that his time is short. . .
And so, as I ponder the question above, “What’s this world coming to?” I am reminded that Jesus really is coming back soon. He is preparing His people. There are millions of believers who are awaiting His return. That’s amazing when you stop and think about it!
Another thing that I’ve considered is this. For all the terrible things we hear on the news, there are hundreds of thousands of people who are mowing someone’s lawn, who are making a meal for a loved one, who are paying a bill they didn’t have to. There are those godly people who are paying it forward somehow.
If you stop and realize all the good that is in this world, then; stop and think for a moment about what this world will really be like when all the Christians are gone. . .
When all those who are praying for you, even if you don’t know about it, or want them to, all those who are doing kind and loving things for others. . . when all of these people are gone, in the twinkling of an eye. What will this world be like then?
It is a sobering thought. Total chaos will rule. Fear will be a force to be reckoned with. There will be those who will cry out to a God they refused to believe in before, or simply ignored. But His precious spirit will no longer be with this world.
That is going to be a world that I don’t want to be in. It will be a world that is run by Satan himself.
I can only pray in advance, God help us all. . .
