“For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king;
he will save us.”
— Isaiah 33:22
While I’m no longer a Futurist, I do believe God works in certain patterns that we see in Scripture that will also play out in our own lives. And ye shall hear of wars, and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.[1]
An “October Surprise” has come upon us and the media is in an uproar. Yet I myself was not surprised. I am sad for those who have lost their lives or loved ones or who have been taken hostage, but I am not going to allow my emotions to be manipulated by the media.
At the exact moment when so many things that used to trouble me are coming to pass, and things that would have broken me before my conversion are weighing on my shoulders, I find myself able to sing along with David, Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety[2].
The more disturbing life gets, the more me we must put our trust in the Most High God, and find comfort in the scriptures. These are perilous times, but Jesus has already paid the ultimate price for His people. He has not brought generation after generation of believers this far into redemptive history only to fumble the bag now, when our need is so great.
He will save us.
“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” — Luke 12:32
