Paul's Advice for Troubled Times

You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

The Apostle Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,

1 Thessalonians 5:5-11

What a comfort scripture is! It is so easy to become worried and fearful every time the newspaper is opened or the news is on, but how good it is to retreat into God's Word to gain comfort and perspective!

. . . but our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
