We will all live forever. The question is ... where? Will it be in a place of eternal punishment, where Jesus said there is fire that's never quenched and the worm doesn't die? Or will we spend eternity in the presence of God where He will wipe away every tear and where there will be no sorrow or pain?
Are you tempted with discouragement? Do you feel like caving in or giving up? Do the news reports and other things going on around you have you anxious and worried? Maybe it's your family's finances and the general uncertainty of life? Maybe it's health concerns, family problems, or something else. Or maybe it's your own unsettled heart. What does God's word say about discouragement and what will help?
The rise in evil today is unprecedented. Just turn on the news: mass shootings, terrorist attacks, violent protests, murder, sex trafficking, child pornography, abortion on demand, road rage, and more. Of course, anger fuels much of it. Anger that is off the chart in intensity and in the number of people who are violently so. What is at the root of it all? Daniel saw the rise in evil in his time, too, as pagan kings and others tried to destroy the people of God and their faith in Him. God, even, gave him a vision of the calamities that were to come on future generations. But then ... He gave Daniel a beautiful hope-filled promise. Could that same promise help us as we see the rise in evil all around us?
