The Things to Come Are Here

Scripture Isaiah 3:5 The people will be oppressed, every one by another and every one by his neighbor; The child will be insolent toward the elder, And the base toward the honorable.”

Observation: People have been oppressed throughout history. We are not oppressed by just our government but by people around us, whether because of something we lack or a position that is held people go out of their way to oppress us to make themselves feel better. With social media it is even worse since now everyone has a voice and the young feel they have rights and try to enforce those rights on the elders. Satan has us fighting against each other so we won’t see the real enemy, which is him.

Application: I need to be a voice of reason in this unreasonable age. Instead of oppressing I need to be encouraging and help point the way to Christ. I have no power or rights, but I have something much more powerful, the gospel.

Prayer: My Lord give me strength to fulfill the purpose you have called me to. It is so confusing here and it is one distraction over another, but keep our hearts and minds focused on you. I love you Lord.
