See Beyond the Present into the Future
The government cannot make us better; only the Gospel of Jesus Christ can do that.
Habakkuk 2:3-4
November 5, 2020
Ponder This
Habakkuk had been praying and praying, wondering “Why is Heaven silent? Why doesn’t God hear my prayer?” Then he realized a foundational truth for those who follow God: ln such a day, they just are going to have to live by faith.
Put your faith in God, believing that He is King evermore. That’s how you’ll live in this day and age. Faith is what keeps us going in dark days. Faith sees beyond the physical to the spiritual, beyond the present to the future, beyond the temporary to the eternal. Faith does not judge by the appearance of the hour.
Don’t lose your faith. If we want better land and life, we have to live by faith. The government cannot make us better; only the Gospel of Jesus Christ can do that.
Practice This
In these desperate days, every child of God must get quiet in God’s presence. Get centered on Him and Him alone. Listen to what He has to say. As He told the Israelites in Isaiah 30:15: “For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.’ But you would not.”
Let’s not make the same mistake.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
