Solving the Problem

July 16, 2013

Lord, grant us peace; for all we have and are has come from you.
–Isaiah 26:12 (TLB)

Only a few years ago children were delighted at the prospect of a trip to the wharves to see the great ships come in. Today they are blasé about helicopters and jet planes. We who once marveled at the telegraph now take for granted the far greater miracle of television. Not so long ago many of the physical diseases were termed hopeless and incurable. Today we have drugs so effective that age-old diseases are becoming rare. We have accomplished much, of that there is no doubt. But with all this progress, we have not solved the basic problem of the human race. We can build the highest buildings, the fastest ships, the longest bridges—but we still can’t govern ourselves, or live together peacefully and with equality.

Prayer for the day

In loving and being loved by You, there is all I have longed for, my Savior, Jesus Christ.

We come into this world with nothing and we leave this world with nothing when it comes to material things. All we need in our lives is the Lord Jesus Christ and to follow Him and be saved born again christians.

Matthew 10:34"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.Luke 12:51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.

I have marveled at all the innovations during my lifetime. But none can compare to what God has and will continue to do to each and every one of us. He can and will do more than any other gadget that comes along.

We must do our very best, daily to serve God and live in peace with each other according to God's Holy Word. However the reality is seen daily in our newspapers and TV. Despite our best efforts we live in a fallen world. Lets continue to fight the good fight and as Children of God for the end has been written and we win the ultimate war. Thank you for this amazing assurance, Love and Mercies, Lord.
