Stand on the Word

November 18

Tumultuous times are forecast for the end of days. Biblical references flow through the pages of scripture that tell of the wars, pestilence, disease, and anarchy that will accompany man’s departure from the Word and his embrace of the world system that will overarch all areas of life prior to Jesus’ return.

What are we to do as believers when we see our government turn from its lofty foundation of faith in Nature’s God and the truth proclaimed in His holy Word the Bible? What are we to do as we see men’s hearts failing them for fear as the end of all things looms before us?

In Psalm 74:19-20, we are given an insight into the heart of God whose servant penned the words found here. The psalmist says, “Do not forget the lives of Your poor people forever. Consider the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of violence.”

When evil seems to be on the ascendancy, when faith and reason no longer seem to be in agreement in the earth, the man of faith must affirm the covenant he has made with the Holy One. Jesus has given Himself and the believer has placed his life at His feet. No matter what evil tidings befall, stand on the Word who cannot fail.
