GOD'S OWN SPECIAL GENERATION
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praise of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9)
All over the world we hear about earthquakes,
wars, famines, floods, outbreak of diseases and so on. These are some of the signs which the Bible says would presage the
end of the age. We're frequently bombarded with the report of places ravaged by these destructives elements. The gruesome
picture painted have filled the hearts of many people with fear, apprehension and despondency.
Amidst all these, God is raising a mighty generation of believers that don't know enough to worry, because they are
grounded in His Word. I don't mean they are naive or completely ignorant of their environment, they've just chosen to fill
their mind with God's Word, rather than worldly information. They've chosen the Word to dominate their heart and they are
thus God-conscious. They are like little children who don't have enough information to worry; they're never anxious about
anything. These are the peculiar people Apostle Peter talked about in 1Peter 2:9.
Just as little children are confident of their parents'
ability to take care of them, so also you must trust God to make everything work out for your good (Romans
8:28). Let
your hear be filled with God's Word and not with headline news or any other information that's contrary to the Word. This
is the only way to ensure that you remain in God's own special generation of mighty men and women and that your living above
the forces of darkness in the world, especially at the close of this age.
CONFESSION: My trust is firmly rooted in God and His Word; therefore the storms of life cannot move me. I refuse to observe
situations around me. I keep my focus on the Word.
