Matthew 24:6-7 -- On "Be Not Troubled"

"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
Matthew 24:6-7


Scriptures like this can be scary because they talk about some of the things that will happen before the Second Coming.  I think there is also a lot of hope and some ideas that can help us de-stress too though. :)

God specifically tells us not to be troubled, because a lot of things have to happen, and the end is not yet.  ... That's still true. Maybe we're closer than Matthew was, but the end is still "not yet." :)

Disasters and extreme circumstances are going to happen.  Storms come in every life... but we don't have to be destroyed by the storm.  Christ offers us light and hope and a way out, even when we can't imagine the possibility.

Today, instead of focusing on the end, let's focus on the "not yet" and improve the way that we are living our lives. :)  Let's trust in God and endeavor to do as he asks, and not be troubled. :)
