What's Ahead? Conclusion

Time is passing swiftly. We are beginning to prepare for the holiday season. The stores are already decorating for Christmas and I saw my first Christmas commercial last night on television. A New Year is rapidly approaching.

As I am writing this, we are getting reports of our world in distress with more soul wrenching events daily. What lies before us only our heavenly Father knows. God knows what He wants to transpire in our world today. Every living soul is posed with the decision of whether to heed the leading of God or to choose an alternative. Many are struggling to define God’s purpose and will for today while others are literally giving their life’s blood in the name of Jesus. All over the world every person has that choice and God’s Spirit is striving with us all. But, it shall not always be for the Bible says, “...My spirit shall not always strive with man...” Genesis 6:3.

God is dealing with all of us as individuals, urging us to follow His path. For some, God will make His presence known in a very strong and profound manner. For others it may be less conspicuous. However, God will expose the world to His influence and every person will make the choice to follow or not. Thereby, we choose the course of our lives and the inevitable end of that choice.

The leaders of governments will make decisions today that will bring them and their system of government more inline with the justice and rule of God’s law or their decisions will put them in opposition to God. This is “anti-Christ” and the leaders of nations are making that choice today. Those choices will put them on an inevitable collision with the judgment of God. Many have already made their choice and are suffering the pains of Divine judgment.

Our heavenly Father knows the way that we should take. Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” We must walk close to Him so He may convey His direction to us. He will direct our steps if we will hear and obey His voice. John 10:27, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” Our relationship must be such that we will hear and willingly consent to His guidance. He will lead us! He will be all that we need Him to be! He will never leave nor forsake His Children! Glory to the name of Jesus our Savior! Amen!!!

Individuals and nations will be defined by the choices they make today! The Bible describes the end result of those choices in Romans 6:20, “For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” From the Word of God, you can determine what is ahead for you!
