Discerning the Times

Would you have ever believed some of the changes that have happened in our country and world in the last several years? Some changes that have happened may have made our heads spin. People who don’t read or watch the news are often shocked when they become informed. Am I suggesting we read or watch the news all day? Not at all. But I can speak to the importance of being informed. I highly recommend having your Bible open and studying (not skimming) what God tells us about the days in which we live and the days that are coming. Why?

In Matthew 16:2-3, Jesus said, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?”

It is clear that God spoke through prophets. They warned of future events. Although your head may be spinning at the ever-changing society in which we live, what a blessing to know that Jesus will not change. Hebrews 13:8 clearly states, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Yes, our nation is changing. The world is changing. But Jesus will always be the same holy, loving, grace-filled God that He’s always been. If we ever wonder with whom to align ourselves, it is Christ.

Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus, I love You and thank You that You are the SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER.
