From The Desk: 3/23
Many
people right now feel that any time we have some kind of crisis that is
it in some way God's anger being given to us. I'm not sure that is the
best way to look at things. Given all that is going on right now. While
indeed in the old Testament God's anger was well known. Sending His only
son, Jesus Christ, changed a lot of how the world looks at God and how
He guides us. So instead of seeing this as God being angry. Perhaps we
need to focus more on what we can do during any kind of crisis. We can
use this to draw closer to God. We need to repent of our own sins for
starters. To come before God with a contrite heart. If anything that
these events do is that it does break our spirits down. It reminds us of
how much we need God even in the good times of our lives. We must open
up our hearts and truly embrace Christ. The more we look about the world
the more we realize that we, as a society, have taken far too much for
granted. For the most part we live a life of total convenience while at
the same time we often look down on those who are not well off.
Justifying our reasons for treating people poorly. By and large we do
not treat people fairly on any level. So to have our life of convenience
ripped from us. That is a true wake up call that something is not right
with in our hearts. This is a time for us to pause, reflect, and above
all else to pray with out ceasing! We must take the extra time to come
before the Lord and seek out His profound wisdom for our lives. For the
entire world right now. This is an epic trial. While it feels like all
hope is lost. We must use this to our own spiritual advantage. So that
when the storm passes we can become stronger. That we can do more to
show mercy and compassion that Christ asked of us.
