There is power in understanding who God is. In Daniel, as he describes things to come, we see that He reminds us: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. Daniel 11:32b

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:14 Sometimes, we just have to realize that our relationship with the Lord is a “Need to Know” relationship.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Luke 21:28 All of these things point to one thing. It won’t be long. It’s almost time. It doesn’t matter whether we want to believe it or not. The truth is that there is nothing preventing Him from coming any moment. Certainly, this information is true. What we do with it is up to us.

Let us examine and probe our ways, And let us return to the Lord. Lamentations 3:40

We can walk through troubled seas if we keep our eyes fixed on our Lord, but the second we look around at where we are and see all of the chaos and trouble in this world we live in that we can begin to sink. When you face troubles in this life, seek the One who can safely see you through them. Leaning on Him for every need.

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1 Peter 1:13

So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:33 Are you willing to give up everything you had planned for your life, possibly even your life itself, to follow Christ? In that ever so familiar passage in Romans 12, we are reminded to become a living sacrifice.
