Will We Get Through This?
Will We Get Through This Election?
Political signs are everywhere.
“This is exciting!”- said no one ever.
Please tell me, is it over yet?
In just a little over a month, the big Election dominating the headlines will come to a close.
Will we get through this?
You bet we will.
No matter what the outcome is – as Christians, we will get through this.
Why?
Because God is on our side.
I’m not talking about our political affiliation here.
I’m talking about our salvation through Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
A World in Need of God
God is not the God who thinks, “Gee, I wonder what man will do next?”
Nothing is a surprise to Him.
All of our future sufferings, political frustrations, and dismay over the world’s backslide into darkness are only temporary.
In Romans 8:18, the apostle Paul’s words instill a reminder of the timeless hope we have in Jesus Christ.
That glory the apostle talks about – God’s indescribable majesty – will outshine any suffering we are experiencing in our current battles.
Nothing and I mean nothing, will compare to seeing His glory.
As Christians, when we finally get to witness it, we will understand the journey.
Jesus Already Took the Wheel
The spiritual battle rages on.
Now is not the time to let abrasive social media posts get the best of you.
Don’t fall for the bait to argue.
No matter who wins this election, God is always in control.
Not the Republicans, and not the Democrats.
“What virus?”
Don’t you long for that day?
I am so grateful that we can escape all of this chaos some day at God’s appointed time, aren’t you?
If you profess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, you too will be with Him in Heaven when the rapture comes “like a thief in the night.”
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. – 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. (NASB).
The godless will be left behind.
Are we ready for the next prophetic and historical event to take place?
Don’t get caught up in date-setting, just be ready.
Will We Get Through This?
Please turn off the 24/7 news and try to spend time encouraged by the Word of God.
We could hide out in our homes, scared of a virus, fearing what disaster is coming next.
Or, we can remember Who our God is.
I’ll take the “Who” anytime.
I like what Pastor Farag says about this, essentially the wrath of man (so evident in our crazy world), will always backfire. God will have the last word. Always did and always will.
God is always good and He will get us through.
He never breaks His promises.
God will see you through – no matter how bad it is, or no matter how bad it gets. I promise you that, on the authority of who God is and how good God is. It doesn’t matter how bad it is. It only matters that God is always good. – Pastor J.D. Farag, Calvary Chapel, Kaneohe.2
