2 Peter 3:5-7


5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,
6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men."

Psalm 37:1-11

1 "Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not envious toward wrongdoers.
2 For they will wither quickly like the grass
And fade like the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself in the Lord;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
9 For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.
10 Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.
11 But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity."




Consistency Only Comes Through Truth

Liberals cannot be consistent, because everything they want is based on selfishness and emotion rather than truth.

There is little truth left in the world, far too many people are experiencing emotions that don't even need to be there because they have been indoctrinated by television and other media that convince them they should want something that without this influence they might never think about.

Liberals are driven my emotions and the ideas of others, they are in lock step with one another unable to think for themselves.

How could they ponder and evaluate anything that is based on what others tell them they should think and feel.

Rational and reasonable human beings never do what others tell them to do, they evaluate matters and come to a decision based on truth.

The only truth comes from the Word of God, it's all in there, every principle necessary for life is contained in the Scriptures. 

If you think you are not a liberal, ask yourself how many times you consulted the Bible when the matters of life presented themselves, this might give a clue.

2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,"

God Takes Care of Us

I have had many prayers over the years, some were answered in a wonderful way and others are either not going to be or at a later time, but one thing for sure is that God has my best interest at heart and in His hands, just as He does for all those who love Him.

2 Timothy 4:7-9 "…7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 From now on the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day — and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing. 9 Make every effort to come to me quickly,…"

Paul had many desires to see believers, some were answered and others were not, He trusted Christ in all of it, we can do the same.

Never be discouraged because you have not yet had an answer to your prayer. Your prayer may or may not be God's will, but for sure the Lord looks upon us with compassion as we move through this life knowing He is in control and we can trust Him.

Psalm 9:10
"And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you."

Matthew 6:25
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?"

Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."
