"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy, I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10
Evil rises to invade nations when the lust for power takes control. Recent events in our world should cause concern.
There are those of us who remember when proud dictators plunged millions of people into years of world war. We remember how tanks rolled over borders of European countries with no resistance; troops moved in and took control of governments. It all happened so quickly and quietly, like a thief. Few were disturbed.
Even the church chose to be silent and to pretend nothing was wrong. They held their breath and hoped if they were quiet the thief would go away.
Today modern tanks and more troops are doing the same thing. Again, few seem alarmed, or say, 'This is not right..not legal..not moral.' The silence is ominous, the apathy scary.
Neutrality is not an option when freedom is at stake. I am not a rabble rouser, but I would like to be a watchman on the wall who refuses to ignore the early signs of an approaching destroyer on the horizon.
"WATCH AND PRAY" our Savior said. The thief is on the move to steal, kill and destroy.
PRAYER: Lord, those around me must be warned of the thief who comes to destroy and how You come to save. Don't let me be silent in prayer or testimony. In Jesus name, Amen
