Holding on

Tonight everything is quiet.. I sit and think about a local family who had a day that compared to no other day.. A day of suffering, heartbreak, anguish, and I'm sure a day of thousands of other feelings, thoughts, emotions that I have never faced.. As I was worshipping I'm feeling the whole world is suffering.. People go on with their days like everyday while down the street, in the next city over, all over the world people are suffering.. People are hurting..

A few days ago I watched the debate between Bill Nye and Ted Ham.. Surprisingly I'm not surprised at Bill Nye. He believes in evolution, not creation.. I was watching him, and I could see his passion in science and trying to figure out "where he came from" how the earth was created".. But the thing is he has a true solid belief in how he thinks he was created. He has faith in his religion which is evolution. He has conviction in how he believes he was created.. Why mock Ted Ham who has the same thing. Conviction and Belief..

I cried to God for His hurting people tonight, but we are all created in His Image.. He loves us all, even if all of us don't love Him.. This hurts me.. The creation He made from Himself deliberately deny Him.. His children just want the pain and suffering to end. They want to be with their Dad.. They want healing, and wholeness, and to see His sweet face.. God reminded me tonight of holding on..

2 Peter 3:3
Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. ⁴ They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.” ⁵ They deliberately forget that God made the heavens by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water. ⁶ Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. ⁷ And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.

In this scripture, here is who God is talking about... People who scoff the thought of a God, and His creation..  The bible and its Historical accounts are not enough for these people.. They couldn't hold on to Him.. And now they teach people to not even give God a thought, and then when God is mentioned, its automatic scoff.. And eventually they turned to evolution...

8 But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. ⁹ The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment.
¹¹ Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live, ¹² looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames. ¹³ But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.

Hold on to this.. He is being patient for the worlds sake.. We have to suffer for the worlds sake.. Love God enough to suffer so people like Bill Nye, your unsaved family, your unsaved friends, the people who mock God on your facebook, the people who give you dirty looks when you praise God. Suffer so they can find God.  Because one day soon everything will be destroyed. It will be all over with, no more suffering except for the suffering of the people who are not included in the promise, the people who will be destroyed.. 


And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight.¹⁵ And remember, our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved. 

God gave me a new look and perspective on these people. They are Gods children too, they just don't know it.. God loves them, and cries for them too. He took something from Himself, created them, and is waiting to breath life into them.. Pray for these people.. 

Pray over the whole earth, that everyone's ears will be opened, everyone's eyes will see..
