The “Great Reset” may happen, but I am remembering In Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” when Frodo said, “I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.” Gandalf replied, “So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
As we lament the situation we are in today and wonder where we go from here, Gandalf’s advice rings true. Our responsibility as Christians is to follow Jesus’ command in His sermon on the mount to be “light” and “salt” to the world, not antagonistic and angry, yet at the same time not agreeing and conforming. To be distinct from the world not because we hate them, but because we love the lost sinners. Not compromising, but serving and loving not for our own praise but for the glory of God.
Keep in mind that when things look unfairly bad, God is up to something, and we can’t be discouraged if it seems that He doesn’t answer our prayers immediately. Out of the horrors of the 14th century plagues that killed 1/3 of Europe, then the 100-years war between England and France, finally there came God’s answer: the Protestant Reformation. Out of the 1600’s when the Puritans were expelled from the Church of England and persecuted, came the movement of Puritans to the colonies and thus the founding of America with a Christian culture. Neither of these answers to prayer came immediately..... yet came they did. Keep praying Patriots, God is up to something BIG.
Thanks for the encouraging words.
The thing I am hoping to see is the return of Christ.
It would be good to be done with this nonsense once and for all.
