Don't Be Mislead
Jesus said, "Be careful! Don't be fooled. Many people will
come using my name. They will say, 'I am {the Christ}' and,
'The right time has come!' But don't follow them. When you
hear about wars and riots, don't be afraid. These things must
happen first. Then the end will come later." Then Jesus said
to them, "Nations will fight against other nations. Kingdoms
will fight against other kingdoms. There will be great
earthquakes, sicknesses, and other bad things in many places.
In some places there will be no food for the people to eat.
Terrible things will happen, and amazing things will come
from heaven to warn people.
-- Luke 21:8-11 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Misunderstanding about Jesus' return has been a problem for many
people. Many have been misled by signs they think they see in our
world. Jesus, however, warns that many things will happen before his
return -- wars, rebellions, earthquakes, famines, epidemics, and
heavenly signs. The key thing in each of these events is to not panic.
God is in control and he will have Jesus come at the proper time. We
just need to be prepared.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, with so many disturbing things going on in our world today,
please still the struggles in my spirit and allow me to remain calm and
faithful during troubling times. I know that I belong to you and I also
know that when Jesus returns that I will go to be with you ... no
matter when that time may come. In Jesus' name. Amen.
