IN TROUBLED TIMES

 

IN TROUBLED TIMES

 

We live=IN
TROUBLED TIMES=but

There has been MANY TROUBLED TIMES

Throughout history=I am NOT sure

IF they are any worse today=than ever before

IN TROUBLED TIMES!

 

“……..who BY FAITH

Conquered kingdoms=did

What was righteous=obtained the promises”                                                                        Hebrews 11:33

 

Can you NAME

A time IN HISTORY=when

We weren’t troubled?

 

I CANNOT=we have    

ALWAYS had injustices=

During every AGE in history=every time

Has had ITS OWN

TROUBLES and challenges

 

Like wars=economic issues=and NATURAL DISASTERS

All we can do=is keep living

ON GOD’S LOVE

During these troubled times

SHARE THE LOVE=IN TROUBLED TIMES

 

“Mortals=born of woman

Are of few days=and FULL OF TROUBLE”                                                                          Job 14:1

 

“God is our refuge

And strength=

An ever- present help=IN TROUBLE”                                                                               Psalm 46:1

 

“Therefore do not worry

About tomorrow=for tomorrow

Will worry about itself

 

Each day=HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE

Of its own”                                                                                                                          Matthew 6:34

 

That is FOR SURE=

We never know=what a DAY will bring

But sometimes it brings

HAPPINESS and love=and good things too

IN TROUBLED TIMES!

 

Just REMEMBER your parents

Your grandparents=Your ancestors

Had troubled times too=

And they made it THROUGH

Until the next days

 

WHAT ENABLES US

To keep getting through=until tomorrow

Is our FAITH=OUR HOPE=and our LOVE

ALL blessings from God

During=TROUBLED TIMES

 

“All the BELIEVERS

Were one in heart=and mind

 

No one claimed

That any of their possessions

Were their own=but they

SHARED everything they had”                                                                                              Acts 4:32

 

“Show proper respect

To everyone=Love the family

OF BELIEVERS=fear God

Honor the emperor”                                                                                                    1 Peter 2:17

 

This is HOW=we

Get through the troubled times

BY BELIEVING IN GOD

Family and friends=by sticking together

DURING troubled times

IN TROUBLED TIMES!

 

Dear Lord=we pray

For the CONTINUOUS FAITH

Hope and love

Through these troubled times

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER FAITHFUL=ever loving=Holy Father God!
