In Acts 19:32, we read, "Some of the people in the meeting were shouting one thing and others were shouting something else. Everyone was completely confused and most of them did not even know why they were there!"
This sounds familiar! Have you been there? This sounds very much like what I imagine Iraq and the middle East to sound like today! It could even be our own country during pre-elections.
Governments can cause confusion to the populace at most any time, wherever the people may live. Even troops used in the area of war must wonder about their own situations and how it relates to themselves. And think of our own nation in troubled chaos by our racial biases and discourtesies! Yet we somehow survive, often putting off what could be done or said today. How do we survive!
How indeed, friends? How indeed, God? How do we survive the chaos? We could not...without you, God.... to lead us through our chaos. We need you, God...... desperately!
God, we pray for your strength and purpose that we might diligently pursue the course set for us, being ever mindful as to when and where you want us to change course, or when you want us to accept the course we are on. Give us wisdom and discernment, God,, for the days...and years...ahead. And for the peoples that are offended or the countries affected, Lord, give them patience and hope. Show us the right way, Lord...the right way. Amen.
He's with us,
Jo INMN
