Wait For It…
“You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.” Matthew 24:6
What days we live in - such unrest and an unraveling torrent of bad news, it’s enough to make your head spin. Surely it’s time for Jesus’ return? Yet according to Matthew it’s not.
Believers, rise up cast off your sad and sullen attitudes; we know how it ends and who wins. Of course we don’t want to suffer, but walking around wringing our hands saying, “Woe is me.” isn’t the answer. Why do we still seek a comfortable life?
Jesus never promised that, rather He said no matter what happens He’d always be there to walk with us and carry us. Yes, the world’s in upheaval and unrest, unthinkable things are happening and there’s no control anywhere, but if we focus on these only - we’ll fall apart.
We must keep our eyes upon Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith. While the whole world’s in unrest watching everything fall apart, we can fall before the Lord in prayer and rest in Him.
As others are running scared, attempting to corral their chaos we can run to the Lord and be at peace. While the world’s impatiently attempting to fix it on their own, we know we can wait for it. And what exactly is ‘IT’? It is Jesus, our Lord, Creator, Redeemer, and the One who’s really in charge of all things.
So believers, rise up, walk by faith not by sight. Our eyes will deceive and cause our hearts to grow weak. We must keep our eyes upon Jesus; after all He walks on the water in the storms of life. Just be patient and wait for It.
