Are You Feeling Ripped Off?

Have you tried to get it right, do the correct thing, endeavoured to work hard and still find all is not going the way you dreamed?

After running up and into a number of blind alleys/brick walls I can relate to that. You can become a little bit discouraged.

However, if we picture the scenario for people in the time of 'John 14' - living in your homeland under the rule of a cruel enemy where you might walk outside and see Uncle Harry nailed to a cross on the side of the road or Auntie Enid fed to the lions. Surrounded by this atmosphere Jesus spoke the words in 'John 14:1,& :27 "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" you might say;

ARE YOU FOR REAL!? His answer to us is...

"My peace I leave with you"

I know we are facing our own giants of financial ruin; unsure futures etc. Yet in 'Matthew 6' He tells us again "Do not worry" about that because you are in My hands. What you wear - eat - where you go in the future is under My jurisdiction. If you want it to be?

Sadly though He shares in -

Matthew 24:12 (NKJV)

"12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold."

Further to that He said in Luke 18:8 "Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"

Our lot in life may or may not improve in these troubled times - BUT - Please don't give up? Remember Sir Winston Churchill "We shall never surrender" - We are in a battle for our very existence.
