Are you praying for America? Every day? You should be. We are living in increasingly volatile times. The news we learned of Thursday about foiled terrorist attacks, including one right here in Downtown Dallas, is daunting.
A 19-year-old Jordanian man was arrested for trying to bomb Fountain Place, a 60-story office tower on Ross Avenue. He told FBI undercover agents that he came to America to wage jihad, or holy war, according to reports. Also on Thursday, federal authorities in Brooklyn charged a 24-year-old native of Afghanistan with preparing explosive materials like those used in the mass transit bombings in London four years ago.
It’s a scary world. But we have a big God. I recently started a message series touching on the promises of God. And one of the great promises of God tells us that He has given us a future and a hope; plans for our good ... our welfare ... our blessing. I love what the great Bible teacher and author Warren Wiersbe said about God’s promises: “We do not live by explanations; we live by promises.”
Pray for our country, and cling to those promises.
If you don’t know Jesus, run to Him right now. To whom shall you go if you don’t know Jesus? Pray a prayer like this: Lord Jesus, I do turn to You. From my sins I turn to You and trust in You. And, right now, I receive You as my Lord and my Savior.
I promise you, He will forgive your sins; He will live in your life; and He will prepare a place in heaven for you so that you can be with Him forever.
