This planet is sick. Nations are in fear of sickness, in fear of poverty, in fear of violence. There's a huge pile of garbage in the Pacific Ocean. Young people are desperate about climate change.
But God still speaks as he did in the beginning.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. Gen 1:1-3 NKJ
God sees the darkness all around you, and he wants to give you His light to see by.
And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. Gen 1:4 NKJ
God wants to take you out of your darkness into His light.
God spoke this world into being. God still speaks and he has not retired.
God was the creator and he is still the creator.
He created. He creates and he will create.
Everything that man has ruined, God will do away with.
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Rev 21:1 NKJ
The Greens warn that this planet is going to perish because of pollution and climate change, but God will make everything new again in the end.
Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." Rev 21:5 NKJ
And who will enjoy this New World? The very same people who ruined God's creation.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jn 3:16 NKJ
You may have hope in spite of everything, because God loves you in spite of everything.
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Rev 21:3-4 NKJ
That's nice, you might think, but I'm scared I’ll lose my job. What if I get sick? What will happen to my family? Right here, right now, I'm scared and struggling. How am I going to get through this crisis?
Unfortunately, I'm familiar with these problems, as are we all. Stress in the family, mega-stress at work, even rejection from other Christians.
But Jesus has never abandoned me and he is faithful. He will never abandon you.
“God will make a way, where there seems to be no way ... “ Don Moen.
Every morning you can say, "God has a good plan for me.”
“Something good is going to happen to me today.”
“God will bless me and I will be a blessing to others.”
Then get up, be blessed and be a blessing. God is with you wherever you go.
