Don’t Lose Faith
2 Peter 2:7-9 [7] And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: [8] (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) [9] The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
It seems as if any time you think things couldn’t get worse they sure seem to. Over the last month or so we’ve seen a world try to tell us it’s ok for a 6 year old to change their gender. I’ve seen comments that a Dr. just guesses what a baby is at birth anyway so it’s ok if you want to change. Now this week it’s amazing the excuses I’ve seen that people have given that it’s ok to have an abortion. I’ve even seen remarks that we need to get past our religious views from our “mythical book” and come up with real answers on this political issue. I don’t understand how killing babies is a political issue. The wickedness around us just seems to be out of control. However, don’t lose sight of the fact that in the end, we still win!! We know the wickedness that was going on in Sodom, and God delivered Lot from that city. It can vex our soul with the wickedness that goes on in today’s society. It should vex us to see people mock God so openly. It should disgust us when people want to poke fun or belittle His Word! While we may think things couldn’t get any worse, we truly don’t know what the immediate future holds. Things could get worse tomorrow or He could call us out of here tomorrow. Verse 9 tells us that God knows how to deliver us out of temptation. God knows what we need. Regardless of how this world turns God will give us the grace to get through. No matter how wicked this world may get God is still in control. If God doesn’t call us out of here today then remember He has given you the grace to handle whatever wickedness this world offers up today. Keep walking with Him and remember that He knows exactly when and how to deliver us from an unrighteous world. When this world starts to get to you just remember what our pastor says, “keep looking up, cause Jesus is coming soon!!”
God bless you today! Bro. Josh Richardson
