TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Greetings All;
One of the disheartening things about our beloved world is that there are so many hungry and desperate people. Not enough food, water, security, shelter and resources for millions, even billions. This desperation has hit so many homes here in America. There has always been hurting, desperate people in America but with the economic meltdown we're experiencing, that sense of desperation has hit so many who thought themselves to be secure forever. Perhaps in all of the suffering and fear something of great value may surface. When there is nothing and no one else to turn to, perhaps America and many in the world will turn back to God. Perhaps the natural desperation that many feel will turn into a desperate hunger and cry for the living God. I'm not sure why it often takes difficult times for people to turn to the Lord. However, many, even in the church, who are not personally impacted by the current economic condition may yet find themselves still not having that sense of unquenchable need for a visitation from our Lord. It's amazing how close one can be drawn to God when times are tough. What's even more amazing is how close He has always been. It is we who so often don't recognize His divine presence. This economic drought will at some point end, at least for a season, but will that sense of desperation for His presence also end? One song writer wrote: "I need Thee, O I need Thee; Every hour I need Thee; O bless me now my Savior, I come to Thee." Whether you are directly effected by these tough times or not, is that your plea? God still feeds the hungry, not just those in need of food but those hungry for His presence. Even when it seems He can't be found, He is with you. You will find Him when you seek Him with your whole heart. "Every hour I need Thee....." May the peace of God be yours.
