Sep 12.97: Light For The Day - "God and the world"

"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other."
- Isaiah 45:22 (RSV) 
--------
Hebrew 13:8 (RSV): "Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday and today and for ever."

Have you ever thought about the collapse of time? 
From the days of the Lord Jesus Christ until about 
1830, man could not travel any faster than a horse. 
In 1960, a man went into space and traveled at a 
speed of 18,000 miles an hour. Look how far we 
have come in so short a time! 

Sometimes when I read the papers, I think we are
trying to run the Space Age with horse-and-buggy
moral and spiritual equipment. Technology, you
see, has no morals; and with no moral restraints
man will destroy himself ecologically, militarily,
or in some other way. Only God can give a person
moral restraints and spiritual strength. 

While our world is shaking and crumbling, we need
to realize that one thing will never change, and that
is God. He is the same today as He was ten million
years ago, and He will be the same ten million years
from today. We are like grasshoppers; we appear
and hop around a bit on the earth, and then we are
gone. 
James 4:14, "whereas you do not know about
tomorrow. What is your life? For you are a mist
that appears for a little time and then vanishes." 

Prayer For The Day:
Almighty God, to know You are unchanging gives
me peace in a frighteningly changing world.

says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is
to come, the Almighty."

LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those
who fear him, and his righteousness to children's
children."

We Have GUIDED MISSILES AND MISGUIDED MEN.
