The world is becoming increasingly uninhabitable, but we have hope for the world's future because of God's promises. Crisis always demands spiritual qualities. None of us can refuse to face the storms. The tree on the mountain takes whatever the weather brings. If it has any choice at all, it is simply in putting down roots as deeply as possible, and getting ready to withstand. Defense is something deep and invisible.
"Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God's own choosing
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus it is He,
Lord Sabaoth His name,
from age to age the same
and He must win the battle"–Martin Luther
"Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all [you can] to stand." Ephesians 6:13
Our roots are in You Lord. They hold firm in any storm that tears at our bodies, souls, and spirits.
