Matthew 5 - 9
Yeshua said "Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called Sons of God.
Who pays the price for the evil agenda of any country or world power. Certainly not the government or leaders. It is the ordinary men and women in the street. They pay for the frustrations of a people who have had their country invaded.
The writer was born at the beginning of the 2nd world war, NO she didn't start it.!!!! I doubt any of the young men that went to RIGHTLY defend our then precious island from threatened invasion even considered it a sacrifice.
Likewise those who died buried alive in their own homes paid the ultimate price and my parents probably prayed this was the war to end all wars. Sadly it was not.
The new enemy is insidious, you can't fight terrorists, they are cowards. In a derelict building the hidden sniper. They bomb innocent victims from a distance and the real devotees of Jihad blow their bits over everyone else.
Thank you God for my slot in time. For the values and principles taught and retained. The children are the future of any country and sad to say this is a sick dying country unless and until God moves.
Suicide figures rise, especially among young people, they have no hope, their values tied in with this materialistic world. From the grotesque drug dealer with his vicious pit bull to the hapless young girl starving herself to look like her air brushed idol on a trashy magazine cover. They are sick kids, their minds infected and held captive, they walk in darkness.
There is a tendency to blame everyone else, but lack of parental responsibility and discipline is largely to blame. It's a difficult balance but we should have taught our kids to love their country, protect nature and all animals and every living creature that has its own special part to play in the scheme of things.
Once upon a time there was National Service. I seriously doubt some young men wanted to do it but unless you had very good medical grounds as soon as apprenticeships finished they would be "called up" and had to leave their family, friends and sweethearts and any plans for the future were on hold for two whole years. There they learnt to accept discipline, and in turn self discipline.
Of course there are horrific stories of cruelty and brutality even now, but years ago many sent as mere teenagers were often on "stand by" for action. They came back self confident young men, often proud of the regiment that dealt the blows. It made men of them. The old saying "the devil makes work for idle hands" applies today more than ever. Jobless and without any vision for the future they walk through each worthless day on a diet of drugs and drink.
Bad leadership brings its own dire consequences but for those who believe and trust out of this unholy mess the Deliverer will come.
And why do I believe this - because He said so. Over 2000 plus years ago a young Jewish Rabbi told his followers the direction they should follow. Now Matthew 24 - 5 - 8 is written proof his witness as to what is now unfolding.
For many will come in My name saying, I am the Christ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation will rise against nation. and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
No one wants to hear the gloom and doom merchants. They laugh, scoff and mock focusing their attention on success, achieving everything their heart desires regardless of the misery and cost to others.
Matthew 24 - 38
For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark.
God promised He would never flood the earth again, and although many in the United Kingdom probably thought they were experiencing a biblical event next time it will be fire and the dross will be burnt away.
But the good news is in:-
Matthew 5 - 5
Jesus said
'Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
Study note:
Meekness is not weakness it is controlled strength
The word carries the ideas of humility and self-discipline.
There's that word SELF - DISCIPLINE again. We need to get back to teaching our children basic values before this world contaminates their thinking. Hopefully they grow into caring individuals and
be valuable contributors in the kingdom to come.
Revelation 21 - 3-4
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.
And we all shout "AMEN"
