Who?
Through the prophet Isaiah the Lord clearly warns us “not to think like everyone else does.” God’s people should not call everything a conspiracy or live in fear. Instead we should “make the LORD of Heaven’s Armies holy” in our lives. He alone is the One who should make us tremble! (see Isaiah 8:11-13) God’s people have a greater assignment than to live in dread of what might happen. God’s people are to live with a heart for the people around us in need of hope.
Too often, we look to this world for answers instead of looking into God’s Word. Too often we listen to surrounding voices and forget our purpose as a people redeemed by God. And so we drift and allow many other things to distract us from the mission of Christ. It’s time we refocus and align our mission with the mission of Christ—reaching people far from God in need of His love. Time is short and God wants His people to pause, step back, and get a new perspective.
