Apocalypse Mentality!
"And we eagerly await a Savior from there,
the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that
enables him to bring everything under his control,
will transform our lowly bodies."
Philippians 3: 20-21
In the fall of 2021, CNN released a survey of ten thousand
young adults from ten countries; the survey showed huge
anxiety in this age group about the future.
One respondent said, “Like many others my age, I feel…this
‘apocalypse mentality’ that really burrows itself in my brain and
stomach daily. I have trouble envisioning the future beyond
a year.”
We have no need to be anxious about the future because the Lord
Jesus is in control. Philippians 3 talks about His power and energy,
His limitless omnipotence. that enables Him to bring everything
under His control.
Everything includes everything—the future, the world forces
that
seem out of control, the invisible powers in the unseen realm, and
the worries and anxieties that are consuming our minds today.
Do you have a problem or burden that needs to be under the Lord’s
control? Entrust it to Him. He doesn’t want anxiety to burrow itself in
your brain or stomach. His power brings confidence, and confidence
lifts our spirits.
"Incidents and events that make no sense
at all now will one day make perfect sense,
if not in this life, then in heaven."
