Obadiah 1, Isaiah 49:13-26, Revelation 2:12-29
What God said to me – You’ve seen movies where a storm is raging in the ocean and the ship is being tossed about and waves are crashing over the deck so the sailor lashes himself to the mast so he won’t be swept away – or a tornado is approaching and there is no shelter so they lash themselves to a pipe anchored deep in the earth and they hold on for dear life as the winds blow past. You live in a world where storms are raging politically and morally and spiritually. Times and world views are changing so rapidly you can’t keep up. What used to be thought of as normal and right and acceptable is now thought of as hateful and unkind and intolerant. So, how are you to live in such a society? First of all, remember that “I AM” the same yesterday, today, and forever – I do not change. The new lifestyles and accepted behaviors are just old sin repackaged and updated. You hold fast and stand firm on My word. The storm is coming but the one who holds fast to Me is the one who will be left standing once the storm passes. Hold fast until I come.
