1 Cor 10:31 (9 May 2021)
"EXCELLENT, F.M. Riley!"


Thank you for this:  The Spectre of “Famine” (fivedoves.com)   and a big AMEN!!!!!!!

Hurts us to the core of our souls to imagine the babies, children – and yes, even adults – for that matter, animals, too – crying out in HUNGER they are (or will) experience!!!!!!   Over the years, when my husband & I would dine out with his relatives, and they’d think it NO BIG DEAL to leave food on the table (I mean even if their kids weren’t going to eat what was on their plates, leaving huge portions behind – couldn’t they have taken it to go?)  And if dining out at Mexican places – leave an entire bowlful of chips behind!!.... and I’d always think the same thing:  that SOME DAY you guys are gonna’ regret that!!  And wish you had as much as chip CRUMBS to eat!!!!!

 

Same thing for all the abundant WASTE in restaurants, school cafeterias, hospitals….. you name it!!    While I wouldn’t personally want to do this, I read an article long ago how some woman survived just by eating thrown-away food from the grocery store!!  FULL CAKES, still in packages!!  Tossed in the dumpster…. So what if the expiration date was a day earlier…..  I’ve always wondered if God will judge people on all the waste…???   Not the employee who is merely following instructions, but the top notch execs who order it?

 

Once I even offered my time to a local health food store to pick up their (cooked) food at the end of the day & take it to local missions where food WAS NEEDED!!!!   Um, think they ALLOWED that??  NOOOPE!!   Claiming health inspector regulations.   They chose to DUMP IT OUT instead.

 

 

Perhaps I’ve misunderstood, but I thought the goal of New World Order people was to depopulate down to 500,000….??  Goal of Georgia Guidestones??

 

 

Yes, I am so glad you reminded us of the BIBLICAL TRUTH that some people get to the point of being “PAST FEELING”!!!!  [unfortunately I’ve KNOWN people like that!!]   And it’s true, it will not bother them IN THE LEAST to hear the cries of the land & the world over as people starve to death.  They’ll just continue on shoveling delicious morsels into their own mouths!!  Boy, is there a VERY HOT PLACE waiting for them!!!!!  ETERNALLY!!!!!!

 

 

Thank you most of all for ending with this:

 

THE BLESSED HOPE

     There is no question that the Lord’s disciples, who are faithfully “watching,” are going to SEE these things happening, yet the Lord Himself explicitly told His disciples, “see that ye be not troubled,” 24:6. 

     My goodness!  How can we believers keep from being troubled, with all these things going on around us every day?

     How?  By seriously studying and believing what God’s Word says and promises to the true believer.  We who are true believers are “not appointed…..to wrath, but to obtain salvation (deliverance) by our Lord Jesus Christ,” 1 Thess. 5:9.  Because we have this appointment, we are to live daily, “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ,” Titus 2:13.  And let me assure every reader, that the Lord’s promises are true and faithful.  What He has promised to His people will come to pass without fail. 

     “Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father,” Galatians 1:4. 

     Therefore, instead of being troubled by what we see happening all around us today, spend your time praying and praising the Lord, seriously STUDYING His Word, and witnessing to our lost loved ones, friends, and neighbors.  Our deliverance preceding the tribulation (time of sorrows) is certain.  But so is “the wrath of God” upon those LEFT BEHIND when the rapture occurs.  Believers, if you have ever intended to witness to your lost loved ones, friends, and neighbors, DO IT NOW!  Tomorrow may  be just  one day too late!   

Oh, how we (me included) needed this reminder!!!!!  As yes, being female (emotional female …. Smile!)  admit I do (too often) allow even the petty issues of life “trouble me”.  

 

Well, to be honest, they are not petty “TO ME”, but actually affect me in a big way.  So what if my friendship-o-meter often sputters out??  While my friends go out, get together & wine & dine while they “ghost me”…. Obviously the Lord has a chosen a different path for me.  And I’ll be able to enjoy ENDLESS FRIENDSHIP & FELLOWSHIP soon enough in my forever home of heaven!!!  Those of us going, we have sooo much to look forward to!!

 

So we thank you!!!!!!    And I’ll keep this reminder in front of me till the trumpet toots!!
