If you have watched the news lately, you know of the dire circumstances many parts of the world are facing right now. Persecution has risen to new heights and new levels of barbarism.
Many news commentators think this will happen in western countries and especially America very soon. Some of the latest reports can be very disturbing as we see the violence done to Christians and others.
We can either take an ostrich-like stance, bury our heads in the sand and hope it will all go away or face the reality that God has said in His Word these things will come.
For those who don't know Christ, the days in which we live can be a very frightening time. Thankfully, we know that He has already overcome this world. He defeated sin and death and hell when He died and rose again. The victory is already won! (Do I hear a "hallelujah!"?)
We can be at peace, knowing we will overcome by the blood of the Lamb because He already overcame all for us!
Father, thank You for giving us the peace that passes all understanding. Thank You that Jesus has already won the victory for us. As the days get darker, we know His return is very close. We look forward to that day when we will meet Him in the air and fall down and worship at our Savior's feet. Give us courage, strength and peace in the days ahead, I pray. Give us boldness to speak Your truth in these last days, for Your glory alone. In Jesus' wonderful Name, Amen.
