Opening Our Eyes to The World
Did you hear that Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian President, stepped down today after the army threatened to turn in their uniforms and join the protesters? Right at this very moment hundreds of thousands of people are celebrating in Egypt.
This whole Egypt ordeal has reminded me that the world is a crazy place sometimes. Riots, wars, poverty, confusion. We can't pretend these things aren't happening, because we live in the most powerful nation, at this point. America is not a "protected nation" just because it is America. Things can happen here too. I believe God has helped this nation over the last 200 hundred years because we were built on His Word and we have followed it for the most part. Things are changing though, all over the world. If you want to learn more about the changes leading to the rapture, I greatly encourage you check out a new blog a friend of mine started, http://disciple05rocketmail.blogspot.com/. Justin really enlightened me on all that is happening in the world, especially in Egypt.

The truth is, it will only get more difficult until Christ returns. I believe the Lord will be here before long! But regardless of how hard it may get or what happens, those saved by Jesus are God's children and we are always in His hands. Our destination is for sure and for certain. Let these words sink into your heart. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33. Jesus has overcome the world! We don't have to fear.
That is so true Katy! I believe He might be coming back soon too! =D I hope so!
