The whole world is burning up and burning out. Depressing bad new is reported on new channels. Stress and helplessness are at high levels. Luke 21:25-28 - God knows about our dark times and He knows of our fears and worries. “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves; men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”” (Luke 21:25-28 WEB) In the current slow economy, companies are retrenching more than ever. Manpower has cheapened because of artificial intelligence. For example: at supermarkets, cashiers are replaced by machines. People have to multitask and take on overwhelming responsibilities in order to remain relevant. Isaiah 60:2 - There is a thick, palpable darkness today. People are under a cloud of depression. However, for believers, Jesus will arise over us—He is watching over us. As the world gets darker, the church will shine brighter—the church is our refuge. What is important in Heaven? Souls! “For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.” (Isaiah 60:2 WEB) The spiritual realm shows the truth. What is visible is temporal whereas what is invisible is eternal. Our Heavenly Father is watching over us as we learn how to walk. He cares for us and loves us unconditionally. God even bothers to number all the hairs on our heads. Earthly parents, in all their love for their children, don’t even bother to do that. When Jesus cast out the legion of demons from the demoniac in the land of the Gadarenes, the people of the region rejected Jesus and begged Him to leave. Jesus knows how rejection feels—He understands how you’re feeling.
The Holy Spirit is like our personal GPS who leads us to a good place. A GPS doesn’t condemn you for making a wrong turn—it just recalibrates a new route for you. Similarly, when you make a mistake, the Holy Spirit still wants to lovingly lead you to a good place. This GPS is powered by love, so rest in God's love for you!
