Relevant then, relevant now...

M3rrilee 🌺 , a friend of mine, posted today on MeWe, a proxy of a post from Facebook some 3 years ago (in 2020). This would be, if you remember, from the height of the crazy days of Covid-19 pandemonium 😷 ensuing around the world.

I thought it fitting with her permission to post it here right after my Undertow article. As the title says, it was relevant then in 2020, and it's even more relevant now here in 2023.

We live in an increasingly evil world, and I can see that the lights are dimming. Nearly every single portion of “truth“ is tainted with a bit of leaven, and opinions on any given issue are as varied as the sands by the sea. It is wearying. It is very human of us to embrace our rights and want to cling to them. It should humble us to realize, however, that it is only by God that we have anything that we do. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Where is our hope? • It’s not in country—as much as I wish it were. • It’s not merely in science, though some science has wonderfully unlocked the marvels of God. • It’s not in our identity, unless that identity is firmly rooted in Christ, alone. It comes down to “trust and obey.” In a world of weak trust and nearly non-existent obedience to God, we have what we have. Place your trust and plant your hope in Christ, while time is yet on your side.

Earlier I said Pandemonium in relation to Covid-19, I looked up the definition and to my surprise, well... just read the number 2 definition below...  😏
