Our Times
Dearly beloved of God, we live in times that call evil good, and good evil; that puts darkness for light, and light for darkness; that puts bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Woe unto them that justify the wicked with a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
You would think this was written today, but it was written by Isaiah, the prophet of the LORD over 600 years before Christ.
What is the solution for devilish times like ours?
“And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation [deliverance]: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.” Isaiah 33:6
The wisdom mentioned here is the wisdom of God, and the knowledge is the knowledge of His Will. The strength of deliverance comes from God, and the reverence, respect of the LORD is his treasure.
Do you want to make a difference in our times? Speak God’s Word! He says:
“Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and not return, that unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. ’Surely,’ shall one say, ‘in the LORD have I righteousness and strength:’ even to Him shall men come: and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed. In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.’” Isaiah 45:22-25
We are justified in Christ and we shall be glorified with Him. The Church of the Grace of God in Christ are justified, sanctified, redeemed, saved, and we will be glorified with Christ forever and ever. We are His dearly beloved.
“Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. Remember the former things of old: for I am GOD, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure…I have purposed it, I will also do it.” Isaiah 46: 8-11
End of story!
Dearly beloved, we are the children of God. We have heard the certainty of His Word, and it will never fail; He is faithful that promised. It shall be as He has spoken.
Live having God’s peace in your heart. He will never leave us alone, nor will He ever forsake us. He is always at hand, and He has given free access to His beloved ones by His spirit.
Live with fullness of joy in your heart. You are His beloved; walk with Him by believing, dearly beloved..
