DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 20 to 21:18; Lamentations 1; 1 Timothy 4
In the last days perilous times shall come. 2 Timothy 3:1b
This world in the last few years has undergone more dramatic
changes than at any other time in history. Fear has gripped its inhabitants
in every part of the earth. Great floods, earthquakes, famines,
disease, as well as a reign of terror unparalleled in history. Leaders
have spent endless hours trying to negotiate peace and resolve the
great divisions that cause wars, bloodshed and pain. These events all
point to the fact that our Lord is coming soon. The only true place of
security is in knowing Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord! —Jim Paul
Be still my soul: nor contemplate disaster,
The hand that led still leads thee on life’s way,
While world events move on—both grave, faster;
For thee they lead to life’s eternal day. —J. Danson Smith
