“And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” (Matthew 24:3)
We do want to know things. In our sinfulness, we want to know what will happen in our generation. We need to see things through the Lord’s eyes. That is, within the words He has given us. Do not go any further, for many do and they go into many kinds of heresy. Follow the words Jesus has spoken and trust Him to the end. He has redeemed You and will lead you in the way you need to go.
Lord, help me to find peace no matter the circumstance. Guide me in Your goodness and mercy to live through whatever may come, trusting in Your goodness and mercy. Keep me holding fast to the truth You have spoken and not to be led away by wishful thinking. You have given me enough to do this day. Help me to live in this day which You have given me. Lead me into all truth.
Lord Jesus, I need to better understand the truth You have spoken. Lead me so that I humbly walk in the way You are teaching me to walk. Guide me ever deeper into Your word so that I abide by Your word above all things. Help me Lord when I flounder. Keep me close to You so that I live the life You have given me to live, and by Your goodness and mercy, abide in the true faith. Amen.
