We hear these words often today. The economy is turbulent with rampant inflation,
interest rates are going up, and the stock market is having a rough time. What are we
going to do? Where do we turn in these challenging times?
Some things do not change. The Lord states in Malachi 3:6, “For I am the Lord, I change
not”. During these troublesome times, when panic and fear are gripping the hearts of
many, will we not turn to the Lord? History reminds us kingdoms rise and fall and
economies shoot up like a rocket and fall like a rock. Please do not set your heart and
mind on the things of this world! If you do, you will be sadly disappointed and never have
true peace. Solomon wrote, “I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and
indeed all is vanity and grasping for the wind” (Ecclesiastes 1:14).
Friends, please take your worries, fears, and heartaches to the Lord and leave them with
Him. He wants to help but will not force Himself upon you. Jesus stands at the door and
knocks (Revelation 3:20). Will you answer the door and let Him in? Listen to Jesus, “Come
to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon
you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).
How will you answer Jesus? All authority has been given to Him and His words will judge
us on the last day (Matthew 28:18; John 12:48). Please turn to the Lord and live! At Naff
Avenue, we are here to help you! You may contact us at 318-547-8565.
Stay true to the Word,
Brother Travis
