Today’s World
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
“Do you hear yourself saying, ‘What has the world come to?’ I hear it said often. Do you realize this has been said over the ages like when Saul met Me on the road to Damascus and was changed. Many people thought that a new demon possessed Saul. Others thought that his passion would not last because his mind was crazed for a while. The word ‘obsessive’ wasn’t used in that day, but that was what they thought.
So what are you doing today in this ‘What has the world come to’ world? Are you being overtaken with stress? Is your energy lacking because of the external elements? Are you straining to press forward like walking in a blizzard with high winds and low visibility?
I want you to be able to walk upright with My Peace and Stability. I was always with My disciples in scripture, and I will always be with you. I can use your will, body, mind, attitude and emotions. I can use all of you if you allow me to do this.
Fall into step with Me today. Relax. Open your ears to hear Me. Open your understanding to serve Me one more day, but now with all your energy, emotion and will. Have a wonderful day being My disciple in this ‘What has the world come to’ time.”
Written through the listening ear of Patricia Plummer, Founder/Director of Heart of Prayer Ministries.
