As we age, much of what we have relied on becomes unreliable. Our bodies start to fail us. Our minds tend to lose a grip on reality. Our sources of income dwindle. Our friends die. Our families become preoccupied with their own lives. We have little to rely on but Jesus. That’s part of His plan. He provides our final opportunity to place our trust where it belongs. He did the same with the children of Israel. When they became too reliant on anything but Him, He took the offending crutch away.
Our world is marching toward its end as well. It’s aging as each of us is. Just as God dealt with Israel and He deals with us, He is dealing with the world’s population. Haven’t you notice how the things that people rely on have become much less reliable. The physical world is failing with earthquakes and storms. The political world is completely untrustworthy. The financial world is no place to put your trust.
A loving God allows these things as the end approaches. He wants us to put our trust where it belongs: in his Loving and Powerful arms.
We really have no other viable choice.
Be blessed.
