In a Mess

There are some troubles that are massive in scale—like war, terror, disease, and death. Some of the troubles we see appear to be less intense, but they are the seeds that spawn disruption in our lives, such as hate, pride, jealousy, and selfishness. These things interfere with the amazing vision God has for his creation.

This is where you come in to play. First, God wants you to know something powerfully life-changing: The problems of this world will one day fade away. Jesus is taking care of them. Second, God wants your words and actions to stand in contrast to the disruptive troubles of this world.

Live today in the freedom and power of Jesus. Don’t allow the troubles around you to control your mind or your heart. Turn yourself toward your Creator today, knowing that he is taking care of all things.

Almighty Jesus, give me the strength today to stand against those destructive forces that seek to disrupt your plans in this world. Let me invite others into your victorious life. Amen.

Difference Maker: Here’s a simple challenge that makes a big impact. If you see a mess today, clean it up. Just do it, whether someone notices or not.
