“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” Matthew 24:35 (NKJV)
With the onslaught of events around the world, economic crises and recessions, wars and natural disasters, many things are changing in various nations. Different countries are implementing several policies to tackle issues concerning them, and everyone is forced to follow these policies to meet the demands of the economic downturn. However, these policies don’t seem to be working. The more they try to make things work, the worse it gets because “the world is passing away” (1 John 2:17) according to the scriptures.
It is important to know that these changes in the world are not meant for you because “though you are in this world, you are not of this world” (John 15:19). It’s true everyone is expecting the government to do what they promised, which is to “bring change and economic stability.” This doesn’t mean you should start worrying about failed policies. Rather, you are expected to adhere to the principles revealed in God’s word to stay afloat in these trying times.
Nevertheless, I’m not saying you should ignore the laws and policies initiated by the government; I’m only saying don’t depend on them for survival but hold on to God’s principles. The reason is that God’s principles never fail, no matter what happens. In these trying times, where everything is rapidly changing, you must learn to hold on to God’s word and stay true to the principles revealed in it. It is God’s principles that can help a person be victorious in these unstable times.
For instance, the Bible lets us know in (1 John 5:4) that “faith is the victory that has overcome the world.” If you must win in your world, you must choose to operate in faith. No matter what is going on in this world today, faith is one thing that brings the world to its knees, and if you operate in it, the world and its systems will be at your feet. You will never be a victim of the recession or the economic downturn that has plagued the world.
Therefore, I encourage you to do what is necessary. Search the scriptures, know what they say, and follow that path. Never give up on what they say, and you will be amazed at how your path in life will be filled with light, irrespective of what is going on in the world.
Hallelujah!
