What is the role of God’s people in the world? To lay aside self-fulfillment for servanthood and to do His will with enduring faith.
Secular, worldly greatness comes swifter than spiritual greatness. But apparent "safety in numbers" gets swallowed up in tribulation (Gen 41). And, great tribulation is coming to the world. Not having repented is the worst of all calamities.
I watch a ship called the "World",
Taking on lies like wave water,
Throwing the truth overboard
Like so much precious cargo.
"Hidden rocks" are just ahead.
Depressing to say the least.
They taunt me, "Where is your God?"
I battle depression by praying,
By staying in contact with Him.
I'm holding fast to this truth:
"For I will again give thanks
To my God for His saving acts."
Thanks for those who faithfully
Bring the light of His truth.
They are God's "born-again rocks".
Helping to make this happen:
Remaining loyal to God
In a world hostile to Him.
God's loyal love is decreed.
It is there - tap into it.
If you do not bail on Him,
You will again give Him thanks.
When they ask, "Where is your God"?
Say, "Waiting at 'hidden rocks'."
