DIFFICULT TIMES 6/28/2017 2:33:13 PM
A hope for a world restored to beautiful planet. Amid our beautiful planet, it seems sad that we have to feel guilty to observe its beauty. Yes the scriptures do say, 'All creation is groaning' 'Difficult times hard to deal with will be here.' Yet it's beauty shouts at me.
My heart soars when I hear the friendly buzz, then I see a furry Bee. Call me mad, but I love to gently stroke the Bee. Oh they raise a leg as if to say 'Hey thats enough.', but I smile all the same.
Of course I am not 'blind' to the crazy pollution, the greed and the dumping of human waste into the oceans, destroying life. But I do still that within my frame of view things that make me say, this is a beautiful planet.
How long can it sustain those fragments of beauty, who can say! Time is running out, Jesus own words tell a story of great sadness, 'A little while longer and no flesh would be saved.' Yes the time is short. but I hold my home in high esteem as a great creation of my God, I will not allow the ignorance of humans to view it as a rubbish tip to greed.
Difficult times, maybe.
You see the Bible says that 'the Earth will stand to times indefinite.' So it will never be destroyed. the Bible also says that it will be inhabited by those that will not be greedy, 'The meek shall inherit the Earth.' So I have hope that this beautiful plane Earth will rejoice, will be restored, with a different power running its affairs. Daniel 2 v44
