There are hard times upon us, but do not lose heart.
I think that God is letting us go through these times of darkness and uncertainty to see how we Christians will react. Weve had it so good for so long, we may not have had our strength and reliance on God tested. How bright will our lights shine during these dark times? Will we be the beacons of light and strength to those around us or will we give in and be drug down by troubling times? I say stay strong, stay courageous!
Always remember, God cares for you. He takes care of the "sparrows and the lillies of the field" you know he will take care of you. Just remain true to Him and he will carry you through. No Matter What!
Hope this was encouraging, not depressing. We are facing rough times and we just have to accept that they are here and probably will be for a while, but theres always that bright light at the end of the dark tunnel for those who believe.
