The present evil age continues even today. The world is teeming with wickedness, sorrow and pain, but despite everything, the Lord’s good pleasure in carrying out His divine purpose is still moving forward. This present evil age will continue…”But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Isaiah 42: 6-7 ” I will keep You and will make You to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”
Jesus…Messiah…the Light of the World. He’s our way to life and salvation in this broken world. He’s the hope for those who are spiritually blind…the freedom for those who are bound up in sin…the way for those who are wandering lost. Jesus…Messiah…the Light of the World.
Job 12:10 ” In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.”
God is the Lord of life. Everything in this vast universe is under His watchful eye…not the tiniest detail escapes Him. Our very life breath is orchestrated under His guidance…so the next time you’re wondering if God even notices you and what you may be going through…take a deep breath…feel your heart beating, and thank Him for being in the palm of His mighty hand.
Matthew 21:21 ” I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt…”
Doubt divides our mind into what we believe, and what suddenly we’re uncertain about. It causes us to question, which leads to wavering, which leads to apprehension, which leads to anxiety, which leads to fear. Doubt is like a cold, hard hailstone that the devil lobs our way, hoping it will freeze us up with fear. That hailstone of doubt will turn our belief into disbelief, and our trust into mistrust. Doubt comes first, and if allowed, fear will follow.
Proverbs 4:25 ” Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.”
Fear will wrap up your eyes, not allowing you to see clearly. You will be looking, but not seeing…seeing but not perceiving correctly. By turning a blind eye to atrocities…you are silently condoning the actions… and panicking against becoming involved. Fear will wrap up your eyes, making you blind to the truth.
Psalm 38: 13 ” I am like a deaf man who cannot hear.”
Fear will wrap up our ears making us unable to hear. We can then turn a deaf ear to things…refusing to listen. Or we’ll hear, but not listen and understand what’s being said. For fear causes our brain to be unable to focus on small details…so listening intently becomes difficult…because our brain is concentrating on the big picture of fight or flight. Fear will wrap up our ears and make us unable to discern the Lord’s voice clearly.
Deuteronomy 11:1 ” Love the Lord your God and keep His requirements, His decrees, His Laws, and His commands always.”
The Lord wants us to love Him more than anything and anyone. He also wants us to guard ourselves on how we live and conduct business on a daily basis. For God wants only the very best for us, and by taking responsibility for our actions, we are in alignment with His sovereign principles.
Psalm 68:19 ” Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.”
The Lord Jesus Christ is the God of Salvation. He sustains, supports, and carries us…even when we’re unaware of His hand on us. There’s no need to be saddled with the burdens of today – the stress, anxiety, and troubles you’re facing – Jesus wants to carry for you. Give them to Him.
John 4:35 ” Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest?’ I tell you, open your eyes and look up at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.”
To proclaim the Good News to those perishing…to witness to the unsaved neighbor down the block…We all think someone else will do it. But the Lord is saying in this scripture – No! Take your eyes off yourself and look around you…there are hundreds, if not thousands that need Jesus in their lives. I want you to reach out to those within the circle of your influence…because only you have this unique group of people to touch with the Gospel Message.
Daniel 5:5-6 ” Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lamp-stand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his knees knocked together and his legs gave way.”
King Belshazzar gave a huge banquet for a thousand of his closest nobles. And while in a drunken stupor, he ordered the sacred goblets they had captured and taken from the Temple in Jerusalem to be used by this rowdy crowd. It was while they were profaning these holy vessels that God doomed them…and thus that fateful saying was born – the writing on the wall.
