What To Do, What to Do?

2 Timothy 3:14
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

On a daily basis I'm asked by someone or confronted myself with this question. What in the world is going on? Things and people are going crazy. Our nation is fighting within the walls as if we are in a modern civil war. Destruction is rampant. Divorce is on every street. Abortion is so common that you can do it under coverage of insurance. Theft, rape, alcoholism, heroine, among many other evil acts seem to be in every home and especially in every prayer request.

I must admit there are times that my prayers are greatly effected by these conditions. I find myself asking God, "What should I do? What will we do? Lord, what is going on and what do I do?" If we are honest we all probably feel this way at some time or another. Wondering and praying for direction.

Paul has just told Timothy about what we will see and experience in the last days. People who will love themselves more than God. Disobedience, pride, unnatural effection, trucebreakers, despisers of those who are good and the list goes on and on. Probably not Timothy, but when I read it I wonder, "What will we do?"

God didn't leave me without an answer. He said, "But continue thou..." God said, "You continue..." In what? In the things which you have learned. Which to me is Jesus Christ is Lord! In the things which you are sure of. Which to me is Jesus Christ is Lord and I'm saved because of Him. So for me, no matter how tough or perililous these days may seem, I will continue preaching what I've learned and know for sure. Jesus Christ is the Lord who loves me and saved me and He's willing to do the same for you!
