More Snow!

2/29/2008

 
Because thy lovingkindness is better
than life, my lips shall praise thee. 
Psalm 63:3


It's the last day of the month and the snow continues to fall...
I love it! Last night I went outdoors for about ninety minutes with my friend, Robert. It was 7 degrees below zero! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't cold. The frigid air even penetrated my thermal gloves. Yet it was good to be in the fresh air. With shivering lips Robert and I praised the Lord.

In addition, I now have an intensifying desire to pray more fervently than ever before for Christians who live in nations where there is open persecution that's being directed against them. One day, though, I'm afraid such persecution will be coming to the United States of America. I know the media as well as certain organizations have it in their respective agendas to harass and belittle Christians in various ways. The populace of our nation, I believe, is slowly being conditioned to think that the world would be better off without those who believe in the Bible, and that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.

But the future has already been prophesied. What will eventually happen has already been ordained before the world began. Yet because I have placed my faith in Christ, I've nothing to fear. Jesus said that, in the "last days," those who love Him will be hated by many. Nevertheless, God's grace will be sufficient for such a time.

Regrettably, however, many are blind as to what's ahead. As for myself, I must echo what the beloved apostle Paul penned in parchment some two thousand years ago. "And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom, to whom be the glory forever, and ever. Amen (II Timothy 4:18)."

D.B.
