I have no idea what 2024 will look like but we must awaken to the reality that we are not the same United States of America of years past. The boxes are not only being checked but have been checked of the list of events that Jesus declared would occur. For some this will be a hard statement while others already know it….as believers we are not called to be loyal patriots of the United States of America but to be citizens of the Kingdom of God. The reality is that our government is in a state of decline and is engaged in the corruption of the soul and the modern church has preached a gospel foreign to the word and work of God. Therefore, we mustn’t allow spiritual amnesia induced by the glittering lies of this world to forget that our hope lies in Christ alone and none other….it always has. Hear the words of the writer of Lamentations Jeremiah…
"Everything I had hoped for from the Lord is lost!" The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words. I will never forget this awful time. . . . Yet I still dare to hope. - Lamentations 3:18-21
Jeremiah was broken hearted as he looked over the ruins of Jerusalem. He had tried to warn his people of what was coming, but they wouldn’t listen. What he saw before him screamed of hopelessness. So what did he , what God calls us always to do to place our Hope and trust in the Lord. To rewire his thinking by taking every thought captive to displace hopelessness with the eternal rather than the mortal and the physical to the supernatural. Hear Jeremiahs words:
The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
I say to myself, "The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!"
Lamentations 3:22-24
If what happened to Jeremiah was in our near future how would you choose to live. Have you clinged to the things of this world so the so tightly that it would be difficult for you to face the reality. Its time to live as a citizen of heaven and prepare for the eternal. By doing so we can live as hopeful people freed up to serve the widow, orphan, hungry and homeless. If you are growing fearful then hear what the Lord has for you…written by the man who thought he lost everything “'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '” — Jeremiah 29:11.
If you hear the call of the Lord Jesus on your life then receive and let Him be Lord of your life…for has awaiting for you a hope and a future.
This is Steve and I urge you to trust in the Lord and Press On!
