Read 2 Timothy 3
My heart is heavy as I read and see all the
troubling news going on in our nation. There
is so much violence in the streets, and our government is at a loss of what to
do. We are aware of these happenings
when we open our Bible and see it fulfilling itself daily.
Recently I read
the story of a young woman who was shot and robbed a day after Christmas while
trying to deliver pizza. She had
volunteered to come in to work on her day off.
Another sad story was of a grandmother involved in a road rage incident. Because she wasn’t moving quickly enough at a
stop sign, a person, driving in the vehicle behind her, honked their horn. When she honked back, he got out of his car
and pulled a gun, firing into her car. In
the backseat was her 3-year-old grandson who was struck by the bullet. The toddler was pronounced dead at the
hospital.
Apostle Paul
forewarned about difficult times to come in the last days.
“For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful,
arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving,
irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of
good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers
of God. Holding to a form of godliness,
although they have denied its power.
Avoid such men as these” (2 Timothy 3: 2-5 NASB)
It is time to
pray as never before. It is hard to walk
the streets anymore without hearing of these sort of incidents happening. Time is out for playing church. We must pray!
Pray for our
nation! Pray for our children! Pray for our leaders! Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ!
We are indeed
living in the last days!
