What do your desire and hope arise inside people around you?

[Leonardo Von]

What do your desire and hope arise inside people around you?

•    “The desire of the righteous is only good; the hope of the wicked is wrath.” (Pro 11:23).

The wicked only stir up bad feelings wherever they go:

•    And it shall be, if you will not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, to observe and to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, all these curses shall come on you and overtake you. You shall be cursed in the city, and cursed in the field. You shall be cursed when you come in, and cursed when you go out.” (Deu 28:15,16,19).

Their pretentions only aim to excel over people around them. Many times, they achieve great realizations and reach great posts to the expenses of the disgrace of many. In the pandemic, for example, how many people are taking advantage of this crisis only for increasing their profits.

This moment should be an opportunity to each one gets together in Christ with each other in order to help those who long for saving lives. How? Imparting to them what they need.

Many times, we say: what can I do? I am not a doctor. 

It there is a dictum that says: “who wants to find a way; who doesn’t want to find an excuse”. If you really crave for being an instrument of the Creator to save souls, simply follow Paul’s advice to Timothy: do not neglect the gift of Jesus in you (1Timothy 4:14).

Instead of getting lackadaisical, isolated in your place only fearing that the evil overwhelms you, live what it is said in Psalms 91:

•    “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall rest under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Jehovah, my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him I will trust.” (Psa 91:1,2).

And believe in the promise:

•    “You shall not fear the terror by night; … nor for the plague that walks in darkness, of the destruction laying waste at noonday.” (Psa 91:5,6).

 Don’t fear what other people fear (Isaiah 8:12). Don’t follow the advice of the wicked (Psalms 1:1). Social isolation is for those who doesn’t believe in Christ. I know that we are arriving in the New World Order (the kingdom of the antichrist) and that Jesus’ prophecy will be fulfilled:

•    And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will become cold.” (Matthew 24:12).

However, we don't need to be in the middle of these many ones.

So, have a good day persevering in Christ to the end and certainly you will be kept safe from the sin and, thereby, your desire only will be good for you and your neighbor.
