The fall of nations, the rise of the Kingdom

[Proverbs 21:1]

People love money and things more than God.

One result of this sin is the current economic turmoil the world is experiencing.

It’s hard to imagine that our own passport country, the USA, will be recovering from the fruits of its own greed and materialism any time soon.

Don’t be discouraged. God is still in control.

Pray for the governments, for “the king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord, he turns it wherever he will” (Proverbs 21:1).

Nations will rise and fall, but God’s Church is always victorious because of Jesus’ cross and resurrection.

Be thankful that, even though God may choose to allow the fall of nations, His purpose will stand, and in days ahead His church will have more opportunity to help others and bring glory to Christ.
