Isaiah 19:24-25. “In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.”
STRANGE ALLIANCES. We want the government to act, and by their legislation Make people respond to lawmakers' moral decisions. But men's hearts are not changed by a legal decree - It is only personal change within each one that brings morality.
We read of great scientific findings; new information that should change All that we know and do; it comes from great men's brains. Technology and science claim to have all the answers we need - But life from a test tube isn't more happy or peaceful, until the Bible we read.
Learning and skill are supposed to guarantee us future success. And it is hard to convince people it is only God who can bless. When we consider His plans for us and what is His will; Then education can aid us in the purpose of life to fulfill.
People are living longer in many parts of the world. Doctors and medicine, people with strange diseases have healed. To prolong life is one thing, but to have a quality of life without faith - May give a temporary and short-lived respite, but it doesn't take the place of grace.
Most people now-a-days when talking about security, mean money They place their hopes on what they can buy and fear they won't have any When they get old, then who will assist them, who for them will care - Forgetting God who sustains them, all along had wanted life with them to share.
These strange alliances people make are made without God. They are based on expediency; not on principles in His Word. In the future they will see how foolishly they acted - And then before God's holy throne they will be rejected.
Whoever would think in countries of the Middle East - There would be an alliance of nations arranged by the Prince of Peace That would bring an end to centuries of warring and strife - And the Lord Almighty will bless them with a peaceful life.
We need to be sure in all the alliances we make - The Lord Himself is guiding us in the way which we take. We need to be sure we are in fellowship with Him - When our alliance is with God, real life can then begin.
“Heavenly Father, that one young woman seemed so angry last night that I felt I should not speak to her. The other one seemed to be kind of indifferent. Help me today, to be what I should be in Thy service. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
