Reality In The Flesh

Matthew 6:19-21

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

In the last couple of months, most people's lives have come crashing down. Everything people relied on for security, has suddenly showed how insecure it all is.

Businesses are greatly diminished, and in many cases no longer exist. Jobs have disappeared in record numbers. Many jobs that paid good, will no longer exist. Everything is upside down.

We live in a country where most people felt secure, and really bad things couldn't happen here. We are in unprecedented times. Our freedoms have been put on hold, arbitrary rules and regulations are everywhere. No one born in this country has ever experienced anything like it.

So-called experts and media have preached so much doom and gloom, as well as a good helping of lies and twisted facts, that most people are just about too afraid to get out of bed.

For some people, all of this stuff is just an inconvenience. They are going through hard times too, but they have an advantage, they trust in God. When you trust in God, you feel peace in your heart, not fear or worry. They know the truth about what is important in life. They know God loves them, and will take care of them. Jesus is knocking, open the door to Him and real security.

Hebrews 13:5-6

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. So we may boldly say; the Lord is my helper; I will not fear, what can man do to me?

Remember Jesus loves You
Prayer of Salvation
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.
Praise the Lord!
Amen
