Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Jesus said these words with conviction; knowing they are true and will continue to be true.

He has upheld His Word throughout the years and we can continue to see their effects on humanity throughout history.

Jesus knew there would be all manner of things which would go wrong over time because of our corrupted hearts – but He also knew what He had said would be, and still is, uplifted forever.

God’s Word is full of hope, promises and everything which is true. Lift it up for all it is!

Mark 13:28 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.

There are many warning signs we look out for in the world around us – clouds which can bring rain, early nights which mean winter is coming… What would happen if we ignored the signs?

We would have to be prepared for all manner of things happening in our lives if we ignored the world around us – we would have to be ready to do almost anything at the drop of a hat!

Christ has given us the bible so we can know of the warning signs which will show He is going to be coming back soon – don’t ignore them!

Luke 19:43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.

The more we allow the world to work in our lives and take control of our actions, the more we will be trapped by that same world!

God is the one who has given us freedom and He has given us the instructions to live within that freedom – but if we ignore those instructions, we may well have to live in the mess we make!

Listen to God. Hear His instructions. Obey His requests. Live a life He wants for you – because He does know what is best for you!
