Mark also quoted Jesus in describing for His disciples the events of the last days.  He instructed them to not be alarmed, but watchful, on guard, alert!

We don’t know exactly what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future.  Keeping our eyes upon the Lord, and trusting in Him to keep us until the end is the faith-filled posture He desires for us to live in.

If you watch more news than you read His Word, despair will increase.  Despair will be displaced by faith when you abide in His Word.  “Be of good cheer … I have overcome the world.”  [Jn. 16:33]

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, we abide in You and Your love.  Let us walk in Your peace today regardless of what happens in the world around us.
