Most young men tend to think of themselves as being indestructible. As I mature, my gratitude increases dramatically and I understand the limitations and frailty of life. As I look back throughout my life I can see FATHER guiding through all of the trials and tests and at times I thought the end of the world had come knocking at my door. On the other side of all those challenges my gratitude for FATHER increased dramatically.
The economic picture looks ugly to those who have been trained in that discipline. The war drums are beating between China and Japan, the U.S. and Russia as the Middle East remains in shambles. The more you know about world events, the less optimistic you become UNLESS you trust in Our Heavenly Father’s ability to resolve all conflict. If you do truly believe IN HIM, then you will be grateful to be here at this time in history. After all, HE placed us here for such a time as this.
Psalm 117:1 Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles!
Praise Him, all you peoples!
2 For His merciful kindness is great toward us,
And the truth of the LORD endures forever.
Praise the LORD!
The above psalm is short and sweet yet it speaks volumes when “all peoples” come in unity to exalt FATHER with gratitude. I suspect we may not be far from such a time as the current world is spinning out of control like one suffering from vertigo. FATHER truly is the only ONE with the solution to the highly complex problems men have created. There are those with solutions independent of FATHER but they will only result in a temporary delay in the inevitable.
Time is being shortened as the culmination of the Age is upon us. The authority from FATHER is being assigned and transferred as HIS Government is coming forth. Those whom HE has prepared will soon be fully empowered with HIS authority. Let us all be grateful for FATHER’S plan as it unfolds no matter what it looks like out your window (or on your TV screen). Let our praises proceed out of our mouth and exalt the MOST HIGH. If HE be for us, who can be against us.
