Our Scripture reading today is Luke 21:25-26.
Verse 26, "Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."
Those of us who know the Lord Jesus as our personal Saviour have nothing to fear. There will come a day when there will be millions and quite possibly billions of people that will have failing hearts. They will go through the tribulation and judgement of the Lord. They will not be raptured when the Lord Jesus comes in the clouds.
Our security and hope is in the finished work of Jesus Christ. The cross is the place where God judged the sins of the whole world. Our hearts should not be failing because of fear. Fear is not of God. God has faithfully given us the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. It becomes more than just a Bible verse when God allows challenges to come into lives. God's Word will carry us through with a peace that passes all understanding.
