Do Not Be Afraid~
In 1776 Thomas Paine gave a speech that encouraged the people of the Colonies to through off the shackles of Britain that started with the iconic phrase, "These are the times that try men's souls." It seems that this is still true today, although if he were alive today he would certainly have said 'the souls of men and women'. In Matthew 24:6 Jesus said, "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end." And this sentiment has been in this world since Satan took over management even before the incident in the Garden of Eden.
Tdday we have worries such as Covid-19, and riots and social unrest that can be nerve-wracking to say the least, and have put the people of the world in a seemingly untenable position of having to choose sides in a conflict that has taken over the news cycle, and won't leave them in peace.
'Times like these' have been with us since the beginning, one way or the other. Everyone is experiencing undertainty and nervousness, which makes living a normal life less and less likely.
Even Jesus said, "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end." Matt. 24:6.
But Jesus also said, "It is I; do not be afraid." John 6:20
We do not have to be afraid of the future knowing that Jesus has brought comfort and safety to His people in the past. The world right now is in the process of making a decision that can put us on an alternate path that is seen in the prophecies of Revelation 13. We can choose the 'Life Road' alternative to these 'Death road prophecies by choosing Life through Jesus Christ. God always give us a choice. Choose wisely!
