The Last Say

1 Peter 5 verse 8-11: - 

Keep a cool head. 

Stay alert. 

The Devil is poised to pounce, 

and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. 

Keep your guard up. 

You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. 

It’s the same with Christians all over the world. 

So keep a firm grip on the faith. 

The suffering won’t last forever. 

It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—

eternal and glorious plans they are!

will have you put together and on your feet for good. 

He gets the last word; yes, He does.

The Beginning of the End

Job 11 v 13-20: 

"Still, if you set your heart on God and reach out to him, 

if you scrub your hands of sin and refuse to entertain evil in your home, 

you'll be able to face the world unashamed and keep a firm grip on life, 

guiltless and fearless. 

You'll forget your troubles; 

they'll be like old, faded photographs. 

Your world will be washed in sunshine, 

every shadow dispersed by dayspring. 

Full of hope, you'll relax, confident again; 

you'll look around, sit back, and take it easy. 

Expansive, without a care in the world, 

you'll be hunted out by many for your blessing. 

(Daybreak over quiet waters)

But the wicked will see none of this. 

They're headed down a dead-end road with nothing to look forward to - nothing."
