Bible Verse of The Day – 11-1-24

Romans 8:22 (LSB) 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

As we all watch the events of the world, it is impossible not to see the blatant increase in evil.

It seems that each day we are confronted with something new, almost like the devil himself wagging his finger in our faces, saying, “I dare you to try and stop me”.

As members of the body of Christ, it should be impossible for us not to see these things.

The Holy Spirit dwelling in us should make it easy to see truth amid the onslaught of attempted deceptions.

Even the earth is groaning with the weight of it, as we see global upheavals of epic proportions with unparalleled storms, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and much more.

The earth knows that things are terribly wrong. Not because the earth is a being or has consciousness, as some would try to lead us to believe.

But because the earth and everything in it was created to be subject to the Creator.

Jesus alluded to this as the Pharisees tried to silence the crowds who were praising God upon His entrance into Jerusalem just prior to His crucifixion and death on the cross.

Luke 19:40 (LSB) 40 But Jesus answered and said, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones will cry out!”

So, let us not be confused or bewildered by what is happening. We are witnessing God’s word being played out before our eyes.

Now is not the time for us to be fearful, but to draw closer to Him than we have ever drawn before. To press in more tightly than at any point in our lives. And to listen more intently for His voice than at any time in our lives.

And to obey His leading in all that we do.

In this we will find our solace, and the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Amen
