Chaos ?
is only the half of it, maybe just a quarter of it. It's been so interesting to me lately how some of us are thinking about the state of the world these days. Most of us are just disgusted with our government, politicians, big corporations and the greed of it all. Some of us don't give it much thought at all, "it'll all get better in a few years...we just have to ride it out." The younger generation, say 15-21, don't really have a clue about anything that is going on. They probably don't even listen to the news every night. (Can't say as I blame them.)
I don't like listening to it, but I do find myself catching things here and there...the killing, the stealing, the drugs and war. Father's maiming their families, mother's drowning their children -- guns -- Our country's economy is in the toilet and all the bail outs in the world, aren't going to change that. Greed has overpowered, the devil is certainly in control of this world...
Our government is not going to dominate us or any other world power. They may try, they will fail, miserably.
The state of the world is in a very very sad situation. Nothing improves, our environment suffers as well. Bats by the thousands are dying, the honey bee as well. Mad Cow disease, swine and bird flu, cancer is on the rise as well as all of these scary and damaging auto immune disorders. Our health care is out of control when one hospitalization and a few tests will cost many thousands of dollars. Medicare and Medicaid are broke, private health insurance is outrageously expensive...but without it one could lose their home and if they lose their job they lose medical and their home.
People don't seem to stop and think about the cost of things. They complain, and rightly so, about the state of things, but doesn't everyone just want to be a millionare today? Doesn't everyone want to make $90 an hour and do little to earn that wage?
Our greed has taken us to a point of no return. I do not or cannot believe that our government or any other super world power will fix this for us.
Freedom of choice, our will, our determination to have things the way "we" want them and not the way they should be and so, here we are...
I pray to our dear Lord and Saviour daily. I accept Him and do my best to follow his ways. Do I worry about the world and it's state? Of course I do. I have so many loved ones that are not saved nor believe and I fear for them, but I continue to pray because whatever in the world is going on it is NOT good. It is not going to get better, maybe for a short term, but long term it is not, not until our Lord comes again and he is...there is HOPE.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
[2Peter 3:9]
