"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 28 August 2012"
Today's Bible Verses: Luke 21:5-38
The title of Luke's report of the end times teachings of Jesus, could have been "The Do's and Don'ts of Looking Toward History's End." Jesus in these verses while talking to His Disciples tells them:
(1) Don't be deceived: (verse 8) The return of Jesus will not be a secret. There's no need for us to set dates.
(2) Don't be frightened: (Verses 9-11) Human history will be filled with wars and rumors of wars and disasters. How good it is to know that God will look after His own.
(3) Don't worry about yourself when persecuted, but witness to your persecutors: (verses 12-16) After all, the people in real trouble are the ones who oppress God's Saint's! Let the Holy Spirit fill your mouth with words about Jesus, and your hearts with love for your enemies.
(4) Don't give up, even when everyone seems to be turning against you (verses 17-19) Stand firm on the foundation of your faith in Jesus. Others can hate you, but they can't do you any lasting harm
(5) Do flee Jerusalem when it is besieged (verses 20-24) This advice is for both the Jews then living and the lost who will dwell in the city as history's end draws near.
(6) Do take heart when the universe itself shows massive destabilization: (verses 25-31) This is a sign that Christ is soon to appear and is a cause for believers to rejoice rather than fear.
(7) Do exalt in the certainty that God's word is trustworthy, however life may be (verses 32-33) This reminder is for the last generation, (which could possibly be ours) and we should certainty take heart from our own hard times today.
(8) Do be watchful, pray, and preserve and so earn the approval of the Son of man (verse 34-36) Life here on this planet has it pressures, and many of them are intense. But we as Christians need to keep our eyes focused on Jesus, and let nothing distract us from serving Him.
Today's Biblical Truth: To those who do not know Jesus, everyday is a dark and dreary day, but those who belong to Jesus, everyday is a beautiful day."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus. Always remember that when you have a spiritual, financial, or physical dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105
