Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (NKJV)
If there is anything this world needs now is peace. The war drums are once again beating, the world’s reserve currency is on its last leg, and lawlessness abounds. Our Heavenly Father in HIS Wisdom has kept a remnant safe and it has continued in its maturing process. The movie “Noah” is soon to be released. Most often we focus on the eight righteous souls aboard the ark. What about the entire population who drowned? What were they thinking just prior to the flood? All is well in their sin and debauchery, their perversions, their lawlessness. Noah spent years being ridiculed by the locals. A massive boat in the middle of a land mass? It is no different now.
A recent missing commercial jet brought to light the expectation of technology. How could the plane be lost with all our technology? Man’s “tower of babylon” does not reach to the understanding found in Heaven. Men’s eyes are blinded to the reality that is set before them. Gold has been a store of value for thousands of years. Why? Because man cannot manipulate its primary characteristics thus the store of value is above man’s persuasions. That is not true with the current monetary system. 100 years ago, the U.S. Dollar became the world’s reserve currency in order to promote trade. It was backed by gold. Little by little, central planners diluted the relationship between gold (along with silver) and currencies. Now there is no currency backed by gold. Value is being lost every day in our savings accounts. The only way to retain true value is to put cash into a physical asset. The Chinese and Russians understand the state of the reserve currency. They also understand that the West is now in a weak economic state. They will no longer be bullied.
The coming turmoil will challenge your peace and understanding. If there is any time in your life you need to guard your heart and mind, it is now. Press in, be anxious for nothing. Let your requests be made known in your petitions to Our Heavenly Father. What are you asking for? It should be for wisdom and understanding first. We need revelation from Above in order to navigate through the economic troubled waters ahead. We should be developing relationships with like-minded believers who place Love above all else. Why? Love covers a multitude of issues and will serve the weaker. By the way, you may be the weaker one in the relationship. Wouldn’t you want the other person “watching your back”? It is time to come into unity and quit being an “isolationist”. It is time to rally around the Love of Our Heavenly Father and become a fruitful participant in HIS Kingdom. It is great to be constantly studying and maturing. But at some point, you should be producing something for others to “eat”. Deposit life into others. Make a difference to someone. Give into their lives. Are you broke? No problem, plant kind words in others. Look for some way to do a kind act for them. Not everything requires money. As you do these acts, people will begin to see Jesus in you. And when they see Jesus, they are really seeing Our Heavenly Father. Smile! It is peaceful in Heaven. That is where our citizenship resides.
