Where Will You Be?

Welcome to this weeks edition of the House of Hope!

We sometimes wonder where God is during the storms of life, in all the troubles of the world. Where is God? Why doesn’t He stop the evil? The Bible assures us that God will abolish evil when Christ returns. No wonder Scripture tells us that, at that time, “every knee should bow… and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord” (Philippians 2:10-11).

Jesus did not tell us when the end of the world as we know it will end. He said we were not to speculate. Jesus said that there would be certain signs to watch for. These “signs of the times” are described throughout Scripture, and taken together we see a striking portrait of the end times.

Jesus spoke of the coming of a godless, secular society, and He spoke of the dangers of heresies of those who try to pervert the message of the truth Christ came to deliver. He spoke of disease, famine, and war. This is a realistic portrait of our times.

But there is a wonderful assurance in the Person of Jesus Christ. The question to ask is, “Where will you be when the end of time comes?” As the wonderful song “How Great Thou Art” says, someday He will come with shouts of acclamation, and there will be a joyous reunion of all those who have trusted in Him. Prepare yourself for that moment of all moments that count for eternity.

A FLAG DAY PRAYER FOR EVERYDAY:

Thank you for this prayer Pastor Richard Mansfield of New Beginnings Church in Albuquerque and of NM Prays! Pastor Richard and his lovey wife Pastor Cindy pictured above! Tremendous Godly leaders here in New Mexico!

Heavenly Father, as we celebrate Flag Day here in the United States, it reminds us of the greatness that our Flag means to us. I humbly ask Your blessing upon this great symbol of our nation, our communities, our homes, our liberties and we especially ask You to open our eyes that we may more fully cherish the heritage which is ours. The Flag has been a symbol of unity, of freedom, of purpose, of belonging and much more. Men and women have fought in battle representing the USA to defend the Constitution and many have even given their life for it. Lord, thank You for always being there for us as a nation, a people and as our communities. I pray that You would pour out Your love and grace over us during this broken time of our country. Use our Flag to bring our country back together, to remind us that We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Lord, that we as citizens of this great nation, we would live up to these truths and embrace one another as together we hold up our Flag as that symbol of equality. Thank You Jesus for blessing the United States the way You have. I continue to pray to You in Jesus name, Amen ????????
