777 Drop: Anxious and Worried Anyone?

I started to get anxious and worried earlier today as the stock market dropped like a rock. It caused me to stop and think about what really is important and what I was trusting. The truly important things in life are those that God values. He warned us of these days, so I should not be caught unaware by some tough times coming. The good news is that Jesus will liberate us from all the weight and evil in this world at his soon second coming. In the meantime:

• Lets not keep quite, but gently and respectfully warn all to be ready for his coming.
• Lets be watchful from God’s perspective, not only ours.
• Lets not worry or be anxious when we hear about financial crisis, wars, natural disasters, etc, but be confident in God and prepared to give confident words to anxious and worried people.
• Lets be prepared for times of suffering by diligently studying His Words and sharpening one another with them.
• Lets be walking with the Spirit according to the knowledge He has given us.
• Lets possess a tested and persevering faith before true suffering comes or we may even fall with the rest.
• Lets live in such a way that restores confidence in God for those seeking and of the faith; and not waste time fighting people of other faiths or Christians over differing opinions.
• Lets realize that our Christian faith will come under disrepute by the actions of a few and not become demoralized our use them as an excuse to become complacent.
  
• Lets ensure our teaching is sound, simple, and practical; faithfully administered by the leading of the Spirit as much false teaching and prophets are present today.

Above all, lets love God and one another having faith and hope in Jesus only; not in people, the things or powers of this world!
