Early this morning around 4:30 a.m (Central Time) I just couldn't sleep, so I starting reading my bible and this is the Chapter and verses that I started reading.

I hope this may blessing to those who read it as well.

God bless you all and everyone here is in my prayers daily.

8: He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them.

9: When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away."

10: Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

11: There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

12: "But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.

13: This will result in your being witnesses to them.

14: But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.

15: For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.

16: You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death.

17: All men will hate you because of me.

18: But not a hair of your head will perish.

19: By standing firm you will gain life.
 
It's very disturbing how closely that reads to one of today's newspapers...war, earthquake, famine, persecution. May we claim the victory of salvation offered through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. May we trust and serve the one true God, who is sovereign in His authority and just in His righteousness. Thank you for sharing this, Cheri. May God bless you richly this day.
