Unavoidable Turmoil
“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.” – Matthew 24:6 (NIV)
In this verse, Jesus warns His disciples about the inevitable turmoil and chaos that will come upon the world. Wars, conflicts, and upheaval are an unavoidable part of the human experience.
Temptation to Fear
When confronted with such distressing news and events, our natural response is often one of fear and anxiety.
We may feel overwhelmed by the chaos, uncertain of what the future holds, and tempted to give in to panic or despair.
Call to Trust
Yet, Jesus offers a profound and comforting message: “See to it that you are not alarmed.”
He urges us not to be consumed by fear, but to trust in the sovereignty and control of God, even in the midst of turmoil.
Source of Peace
By anchoring our hearts in the knowledge that God is still in charge, we can find a deep and abiding peace that transcends our circumstances.
As we navigate times of chaos and uncertainty, cling to the truth that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. (Psalm 46:1)
In Him, we can find the courage to face whatever comes our way, and the peace that surpasses all understanding.
