Isaiah 5:20
King James Version
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
As the days go by, the world seems crazier.
It's as if Satan was given free rein, to reign.
He can bulldoze his way through a market, where people shop.
He can send rockets and missiles to Israel's cities.
He can make outgoing leaders create one more foolish act.
He can create crime, where he will.
Chaos, cruelty, and confusion proliferate.
The everyday man asks if there's GOD.
The atheist doesn't believe in any.
The born again knows He exists.
All the while, GOD observes:
Psalm 14:2
King James Version
2 The Lord looked down from heaven
upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand,
and seek God.
In answer, apostle Paul writes this:
Romans 3:11
King James Version
11 There is none that understandeth,
there is none that seeketh after God.
Romans 3:12
King James Version
12 They are all gone out of the way,
they are together become unprofitable;
there is none that doeth good,
no, not one.
And yet, by GOD's very power, we exist.
The born again know what GOD can do:
Zechariah 4:6
King James Version
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying,
This is the word of the Lord
unto Zerubbabel, saying,
Not by might,
nor by power,
but by my spirit,
saith the Lord of hosts.
John 15:5
King James Version
5 I am the vine,
ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
All this power, He gave His Son.
Ephesians 1:19-23
King James Version
19 And what is the exceeding greatness
of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ,
when he raised him from the dead,
and set him at his own right hand
in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might,
and dominion, and every name that is named,
not only in this world,
but also in that which is to come:
22 And hath put all things under his feet,
and gave him to be the head
over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body,
the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
If we are to survive these dark days, we are to trust in JESUS alone:
Psalm 2:12
King James Version
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,
and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they
that put their trust in him.
