The Signs

We are told that we should pray that our flight not be in the winter( Matthew 24:20). So far in  2014, we in MN and adjoining states are realizing more and more what it would feel like, to be fleeing in these frigid temperatures. However, we know from the Scripture that God promises to supply all that we need. In the time for Martin Luther and others it was evident that Providence took care of His people. Regardless, of the situations that present themselves, we still have this assurance.

CNN has been highlighting the inclement weather in Alabama, Atlanta and other areas in the South - where it has been chaotic for many living in these area - wintry blasts, ice etc. We will also note that weather worldwide has been unprecedented/extraordinary. These are undoubtedly signs of the time noted in the Scripture - it appears that this is just the tip of the iceberg, sadly worse is yet in the offing. We have to brace ourselves for the worst. However, God is still on the throne and will take care of us through thick and thin.

Let us keep our eyes upon the prize. Let us lay up for ourselves treasure in heaven and not focus on earthly riches which will pass away ( Matthew 6:19-21). Let us be hardy soldiers of the cross and do as God asks, " to do justly, and to love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God," Micah 6:8. Let us meditate on
1 Corinthians 2:9, "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."  - the best is yet to come - eternal life - what a day of victory that will be!

Be blessed!
